Our supply chain
Our vertically integrated Supply Chain unlocks economies of scale and provides stability and price management.
Our Supply Chain refers to our Manufacturing, Logistics and Retail operations. The primary goal of our Supply Chain is to offer our franchise partners a competitive advantage through efficient supply, price certainty, product innovation and margin management. Our Manufacturing and Logistics operations support our Brands in SA and selected countries. Retail operations earn revenue from product sales to retailers.
We are reshaping our Supply Chain to bolster the Group’s long-term sustainability by improving efficiencies and incorporating leading technologies while reducing waste and the use of natural resources.
