New strategy aims at accelerating growth

Last week, we unveiled our new long-term strategy to generate sustainable shareholder value.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Dirk Van de Put, said: “With strong leadership in our categories, an unparalleled portfolio of global and local brands and a solid footprint in fast-growing markets, we are uniquely positioned to lead the future of snacking. We have developed a clear strategic plan to accelerate our growth and drive attractive total returns centered around three strategic priorities: accelerate consumer-centric growth, drive operational excellence and build a winning growth culture.”

To accelerate consumer-centric growth, the company will focus on several key priorities including a more holistic view of consumer snacking behaviors to sharpen brand positioning in clear demand spaces, accelerating exposure in higher-growth geographies and leveraging partnerships and M&A to expand into new markets and snacking adjacencies.

Our CEO also confirmed that operational excellence remains a fundamental area across the organization, focusing on continuous improvement of day-to-day operations. And to drive our new way of operating, Van de Put announced concrete actions to reorient the organization around growth, building a winning growth culture that enables us to move with greater speed and agility.
