Value Created

We have enhanced value creation through organic and inorganic growth and in line with our 3 by 3 growth strategy. Consequently, Social and Relationship Capital, measured through leadership market positions, category penetration, and consumption rates, has improved. This has led to the strengthening of our Financial Capital metrics.

Our multi-local strategy translates into serving diverse geographies, consumer preferences, and socio-economic contexts.

As a result, we have significantly diversified our Human Capital. Today, we have over 10,000 team members across 17 countries. We continue to build diversity as a competitive advantage. In line with our approach to democratising categories, we are making world-class products available at affordable prices. We do this through ramping up our design-driven innovation capabilities and Intellectual Capital, measured through patents, brand valuation and R&D investments.
