SUCCESSFUL

As a Successful company, we drive top- and bottom-line growth by finding the optimal balance between three key measures: beer volume market share, gross profit after logistics (GPaL) margin and operating profit.

 

PROFESSIONAL

As a Professional company, we excel in our ability to service our broad range of customers, by strengthening our capabilities within consumer insights, customer management, category management and execution and innovation in the logistics’ area.

 

ATTRACTIVE

As an Attractive company, we focus on creating shared value for shareholders, employees and the society. Attractive to shareholders by delivering consistent earnings growth and improving return on invested capital. Attractive to employees by creating a great working environment and actively encouraging a high-performance culture. Attractive to society by having a wider purpose of being responsible and sustainable, which also directly builds on our heritage.
