Strategic Focus

Our deep roots in local cultures and markets around the world give us our strong relationship with consumers and are the foundation for our future growth We will bring our wealth of knowledge and international expertise to the service

of local consumers – a truly multi-local multinational

performance and productivity, to working together effectively, and to a

willingness to embrace new ideas and learn continuously

This is our road to sustainable, profitable growth, creating long-term value for

our shareholders, our people, and our business partners
