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.

Our long-term success requires a total commitment to exceptional standards of

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

willingness to embrace new ideas and learn continuously.

To succeed also requires, we believe, the highest standards of corporate behaviour

environment on which we have an impact.

our shareholders, our people, and our business partners.
