Pierre-Olivier Beckers, President and Chief Executive Officer Delhaize Group said: "Throughout their history, our different operating companies have spontaneously developed a large number of initiatives related to corporate responsibility. This demonstrates that corporate responsibility is a part of our company's culture. Delhaize Belgium being in the top 10 of green energy consumers in Europe and the first in Belgium, or being pioneers in the United States by launching the nutritional information program called "Guiding Stars", are some of the examples. The corporate responsibility strategy recently developed at the Group level in a coherent way enables us to share our collective expertise and concentrate our energy on well chosen and measurable objectives. We are happy that the report which communicates our results has caught the attention of the jury."

Sustainable development is present in many different areas particularly in the food retail sector. Delhaize Group has chosen three key pillars to focus on; Products: healthier products, People: healthier people and Planet: a healthier planet, in the spirit of the title of the report: "a healthy approach to life". The report particularly focuses on the five areas selected by Delhaize Group as a basis of its corporate responsibility strategy. These five areas are: food safety, health and wellness, associate development, energy conservation, responsible sourcing. The report has been used as support for internal and external communication in order to raise the awareness of our associates and our customers. It provides concrete examples and numerical results making it possible to evaluate the progress that has been made so far. Delhaize Group is conscious of the fact that there are still many more challenges, and the prize the Group receives today is a great encouragement to continue its efforts.
