P&G's Erik Roberts: Delivering Sustainable Growth Through Procurement Excellence

Erik Roberts has been named as one of the top procurement leaders in the industry by Procurement Magazine. As Chief Purchasing Officer at Procter & Gamble (P&G), he oversees every dollar spent by the company, from raw materials to indirect categories such as media and IT.

Roberts believes that purchasing should be a continuous engine of growth, grounded in what he calls the Trifecta of superior performing products, full lifecycle sustainability, and supply chain-wide value creation. He aims to achieve this through responsible sourcing and sustainable practices.

With 28 years of experience at P&G, Roberts has held various roles across finance, marketing, sales, media, and general management before pivoting into purchasing. As CPO, he is also responsible for sustainability across the company's Product Supply Organisation.
