consumption gaps and contribute to creating both healthier and indulgent
choices for consumers, and bringing more enjoyment to their lives.
Bringing those products to consumers is where our third major competitive
strength comes into play: our strong, established delivery systems. They include
direct-store-delivery, where our own associates load and set up the shelves;
warehouse systems, where retailers store and replenish product; and dedicated
teams to supply foodservice and vending customers. The strength and span of
our systems help us quickly introduce a product into the market — which helps
us put our products within easy reach whenever a consumer is thirsty or hungry.
Bottom Line: A Constant Focus
Through our Business Process Transformation initiative, we are equally focused
on reducing expenses to produce a healthy bottom line. We’re streamlining our
processes by employing new technology to meet customer and business needs.
We’re finding new ways to capture the full value of every penny we earn, such as
using a new treasury management program to invest revenues the same day we
receive them. We’re consolidating our purchasing to secure more favorable
prices and delivery. We’re developing state-of-the-art water programs, energy
conservation methods and other environmental initiatives that will make our
businesses more sustainable.
None of this would happen without our people, the drivers of everything we do.
They are among the most talented and dedicated individuals in the world.
Each of these competitive strengths comes together to meet the needs of our
consumers, shareholders and other stakeholders in creating sustainable growth
on any day.
