CHICAGO, Nov. 5, 2013— Jones Lang LaSalle (NYSE: JLL) today announced it was selected by The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) as an "External Business Partner of the Year" at P&G’s recent annual External Business Partner Recognition Dinner, the highest accolade external business partners and suppliers can earn with P&G.
