Commodity costs dent Persil power

by Daniel Ball, Marketing Director, Wax Digital 18. March 2008 19:12

Henkel KGaG, the German maker of Persil detergent, is blaming commodity price rises for plans to shed up to 3,000 jobs, or nearly 6% of its total workforce.

In the UK, with less in the way of currency protection, making savings across organisations is becoming the only conversation business wants to have – nobody wants job cuts, which puts the spotlight on purchasing practices and driving efficiencies in the supply chain.
