During his speech, Ahold Delhaize CEO Frans Muller said: "I
would like to reflect with you on what is happening in today’s
society and our company's role in it. Rooted in our local
communities, Ahold Delhaize is open to everyone, and we make
healthy and sustainable choices easy and affordable to all. We are
a financially strong and well-managed company and we are convinced
that our strategy provides us with the right way forward."
“When I look back at the past year, I want to mention the hard
work of our associates. I greatly appreciate their incredible
commitment. They are the face of our company, of the 19 great local
brands that make Ahold Delhaize.” “When we sharpened our objectives
during our Investor Day in November last year, we identified four
priorities for the next four years that will determine our
investment choices. These priorities are our customers, our
operations, a sustainable world and our impressive brand portfolio.
Further digitalization is the basis for many of these priorities
and our investments. By accelerating digital innovation, we drive
growth while helping customers to eat well, save time and live
better.”
During her speech, Ahold Delhaize CFO Natalie Knight said: “As
we close 2021, we are proud of our accomplishments and are in great
shape financially and operationally. I would particularly like to
thank this audience for your continued engagement with us on a wide
variety of topics, and we appreciate and highly value your ongoing
input. I am pleased to reiterate our financial guidance for 2022.
Looking to the future, I am also pleased to reaffirm the
commitments we outlined in detail at our November 2021 Investor
Day.”
