Questions and Answers About Our Annual Meeting

| How                                         
 are proxies solicited and what is the cost? |

We pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the meeting. Proxies may be solicited in person by Colgate employees, or by mail, telephone or electronic methods. In addition, we have retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated to solicit proxies by mail, telephone and electronic methods. We will pay a fee of approximately $30,000 to Innisfree M&A Incorporated plus expenses for these services.

| What                                  
 is householding? Does Colgate use it? |

We have sent to registered stockholders who have requested a printed copy of proxy materials and have the same address and last name a single copy of this Proxy Statement and the 2024 Annual Report and one proxy card for each stockholder and, to all other registered stockholders who have not previously requested electronic delivery of proxy materials, a single envelope containing one Notice of Internet Availability for each stockholder. This is known as “householding.” If, now or in the future, you do not wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report or your Notice of Internet Availability in a separate envelope, please call us at (855) 322-3551 or (212) 310-2575 or inform us in writing at: Colgate-Palmolive Company, Attention: Investor Relations, 300 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022 or by sending an email to investor_relations@colpal.com. Or, if you are currently receiving separate copies of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report or Notice of Internet Availability at one address and would like to receive a single copy or a single envelope containing one Notice of Internet Availability for each stockholder, please contact us at the phone numbers, mailing address or email address listed in the previous sentence. We will respond promptly to such requests. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you can request information about householding from such holder of record.
