Ahold Delhaize publishes 2021 Annual Report
Zaandam, the Netherlands, March 2, 2022 – Ahold Delhaize today
publishes its 2021 Annual Report, an integrated report that
provides an overview of the Company’s financial and ESG performance
in 2021. The Annual Report will be on the agenda of the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM), which will be held on April
13, 2022. Later today the 2022 AGM convocation and meeting agenda
will be published.Frans Muller, CEO of Ahold Delhaize, said: “I am
proud of our performance and what we have been able to achieve in
2021. Despite expectations that the world would return to
pre-pandemic life, COVID-19 continued to have a major impact in our
brands’ markets – and kept our people very busy. I have enormous
appreciation for associates in stores, distribution centers and
support offices across Ahold Delhaize and its brands who worked so
incredibly hard to serve the needs of customers and communities.”As
a result, from a business standpoint, Ahold Delhaize went from
strength to strength on many fronts during the year. Consumer
trends around cooking and eating at home, shopping online and
healthy eating have remained and evolved, and convenience continued
to grow in importance. Ahold Delhaize’s great local brands have
geared up their online propositions, delivery services, click and
collect locations and brought unique customer experiences to their
markets with new loyalty programs to truly enable customers to shop
whenever and wherever they want.Over the past year, associates,
customers and shareholders have become even more aware of global
challenges and the need to accelerate the transition to a
sustainable food system. Ahold Delhaize doubled down on its
commitment to its climate strategy and brought forward its net-zero
carbon emissions target for scope 1 and 2 by 10 years to 2040.
Embedded in Ahold Delhaize’s belief that what is healthy for
people, is healthy for the planet, another sharpened ambition is
the increased target for healthy own-brand food sales to be at
least 55% by 2025.Looking forwardAn important
milestone for Ahold Delhaize during the year was announcing updates
to its long-term strategy “Leading Together” and key medium-term
commitments during its Investor Day in November. This growth and
investment plan includes a step up in investments in digital,
automation and state-of-the-art infrastructure to drive innovation
and support Ahold Delhaize’s accelerated growth plans to 2025.The
2021 Annual Report is available here.
