People performance
Our businesses are all about people. We have great people who love what they do and are
good at it. We want our businesses to be places they feel good about working at, so they pass
on that good feeling to our customers.
We are continuously investing in and developing employees. At the same time, we are hiring
new people with new skills, so that we have the capabilities we need to grow - and sharing
these capabilities across our businesses.
We will continue to build diverse workforces - in terms of both personal background and
professional experience - to better serve our diverse customer bases and help us successfully
cross cultures and borders. We want to be a better place to work for our employees,
and provide good working conditions, development opportunities, managerial support,
recognition for performance, and an atmosphere of mutual respect.

We have been working to build a strong leadership culture across
Ahold that is based on trust, openness and transparency. It is our
belief that having diverse teams of leaders who complement each
other's strengths, and who share the same vision, is essential for
achieving our strategy. In 2012 we took the next steps in our
leadership journey, opening it up to a wider group of leaders
throughout Ahold.
