What is our perspective?

We see
The volatile economic environment also in established markets with its value-cautious consumers makes it increasingly difficult for today’s consumer goods companies to increase or even maintain profitability

An ever more demanding retail trade puts continuous pressure on largely historical trade terms.

We believe
Profitable price levels require to constantly manage the drivers behind shopper behavior.

Increasingly performance-based trade terms will allow more opportunities for creating win-win situations with trade partners.

How do we do that?
