DELHAIZE GROUP / ANNUAL REPORT 2006 25
IN FOCUS
GREEN ENERGY
IN BELGIUM
Delhaize Group recognizes the value of
a diverse workforce. Food Lion orga-
nized a Diversity and Inclusion Summit
for its management. Its efforts in this
area were recognized by Mainstreet
Business Magazine, which listed Food
Lion among the top 50 U.S. companies
for workforce diversity. Delhaize Bel-
gium launched a diversity charter and
action plan. As a part of this plan, the
company reserved a number of tem-
porary holiday jobs for students having
diffi culties to enter the labor market.
As of early January 2007, Delhaize Bel-
gium had completely shifted to renewable
energy. All company-operated supermar-
kets and convenience stores, as well as
the distribution centers and headquar-
ters are now fully supplied with renew-
able energy provided by hydroelectric
power plants located on the Rhône river
in France. This decision comes in addition
to the numerous initiatives the company
has taken in energy reduction.
In an effort to support the fi ght against
rising obesity levels, Hannaford started
the “Fresh Adventures at Hannaford-
FOODPLAY Tour.” The Emmy Award-
winning live theater show “FOODPLAY,”
motivates elementary school children
to improve their eating habits and of-
fers them the necessary tools. Han-
naford takes the Tour to elementary
schools throughout its fi ve-state oper-
ating area.
