Supply Chain Dive rounds up what executives from Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and Kimberly-Clark told the Barclays Global Consumer Staples Conference about their supply chains. For suppliers weighing their own freight, material and automation costs, these are early signals from three branded household and personal care makers.
Why it matters: Suppliers can use these remarks as a benchmark for their own freight and material cost assumptions, and as context before a cost or pricing conversation with their buyer. The executives spoke in early September, so check whether conditions have shifted since.
