Annual Report 2015
We are an international retailing group based
in the Netherlands and serving customers in the
United States and Europe.
Our strong and trusted local consumer brands,
millions of loyal customers, and dedicated associates
make us leaders in our markets. Selling great food
has been our core business for 129 years.
Today, we have evolved to meet the changing
preferences of shoppers through our omni-channel
offering. Customers can shop whenever and however
is most convenient for them - by means of our
great network of stores and market-leading online
businesses. In every channel, we offer them all the
right choices, with great quality and value and an
easy and inspiring shopping experience, making it
simpler than ever for customers to bring home healthy
products to their families.
We are committed to being a responsible retailer
and an even better neighbor by making meaningful
contributions in all our communities. We support the
health and well-being of our customers, associates
and local communities, source our products
responsibly and care for the environment.
Our people make it possible for us to do all this.
They are passionate about serving our customers and
work hard to get better every day. The relationships
they develop with customers build their loyalty and
are an important part of why they keep coming
back to shop with us.
Our proposed merger with Delhaize Group will
enable us to create an even better and more
innovative retail company for our customers,
associates and shareholders worldwide.
