Enhancing livelihoods
Our business generates wealth and creates jobs in the communities where we operate.
Supporting economic development
Employees, governments, investors and many others benefit economically from our activities. A growing opportunity for us is to meet the needs of low-income consumers in emerging markets. Whether it is through new distribution channels, using smaller, more affordable formats or creating new products, we are trying to develop business models to reach new consumers. We seek to raise the skills and productivity of the farmers and small businesses we work with so they can increase their incomes and improve their standard of living. As part of our Sustainable Living Plan we have set the following target: by 2020 we will enhance the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people as we grow our business.
