Ahold Delhaize Annual Report 2016
Please read on to find out more about our
year and the good momentum we achieved
following the merger. Our report outlines the
progress our great local brands made on all
our strategic priorities, including making our
fresh offering even fresher, providing healthier
choices for our customers, reducing waste,
supporting our communities, expanding our
online offering, making it easier to shop, and
much more.
Welcome to our first Annual Report as a
merged company, Ahold Delhaize. In 2016, we
brought two successful businesses together to
create one of the world’s largest retail groups,
able to deliver even more for the customers of
our great local brands. This is reflected in the
theme of our report: Better together. It is also
the name of our strategy, which you will find
out more about as you read our report.
We believe that our long-term financial
success is directly tied to how well we manage
our financial, natural, and human resources.
For that reason, we have decided to publish
one report that provides an integrated view
of our sustainability performance as part of
our overall company performance.
