‌Chairman's Statement

Effective execution of our strategy drove strong financial performance and higher shareholder returns in 2025, despite a challenging retail environment. Our significant progress made in portfolio simplification creates investment capacity for strategic priorities, enabling greater value for our customers and accretive inorganic opportunities to drive sustainable growth and returns.

Introduction

It is my honour and priviliege to join DFI Retail Group ('DFI' or the 'Group') as Chairman of the Board, supporting Group Chief Executive, Scott Price, and his leadership team in executing its strategic priorities and delivering shareholder returns. On behlalf of the Board, I would also like to express our gratitude to John Witt for his invaluable contributions to DFI over many years.

As Asia's leading multi-format retail platform, DFI has a unique set of assets - strong customer trust, an extensive store network across markets, deep data insights from a powerful loyalty programme, and a strengthening Own Brand portfolio - that will serve as a foundation for growth over the coming years.

Amid macroeconomic volatility and evolving consumer needs, the Group has been responding effectively through a stronger value proposition and enhanced omnichannel capabilities. This strategy is yielding early and encouraging results, demonstrated by a 35% increase in underlying profit in 2025.

We remain particularly optimistic about the growth prospects in Health & Beauty and Convenience,

as well as the opportunities emerging in digital.

I am confident that under the capable leadership of Scott and his team, DFI will continue to deliver retail excellence to customers across Asia while driving long-term value creation and growth.

Under a new 70% dividend payout policy announced in December 2025, the Board recommends a

final dividend of US¢10.50 per share (2024 final dividend: US¢7.00).

Strategic Highlights

Over the course of 2025, the Group executed effectively against its strategic framework of Customer First, People Led, Shareholder Driven. This approach enables DFI to navigate market challenges while capturing opportunities that

build on its strong platform for sustainable growth.

The retail landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by shifting consumer behaviour and digitalisation. The Group remains focused on strategic priorities that place customers first - delivering quality, value and convenience in everyday moments. Across

its businesses, the Group made good progress in strengthening value propositions, expanding

customer reach in growth markets, driving deeper customer engagement with data-driven insights and accelerating digital monetisation. These initiatives enhance its ability to better serve customers and supplier partners while delivering returns to shareholders.

Investing in talent development remains at the top of the agenda. During the year, the Group achieved an improved team member engagement score.

Inclusive leadership, a purpose-driven culture and engaged team members are critical to driving stronger performance and delivering exceptional customer experience. In parallel, the Group continues to enhance its organisational agility in meeting customer needs while reducing overhead costs.

In 2025, the Group completed the divestments of minority stakes in Yonghui and Robinsons Retail, as well as Singapore Food business, enabling

reinvestment in subsidiary businesses and strategic priorities with stronger growth and return potential.



This approach, combined with a sharpened business focus and a strengthened balance sheet, delivered a total shareholder return exceeding 90% in 2025, including the distribution of a US$600 million special dividend in October.

Prospects

Transformation is an ongoing journey for today's retailers. Serving diverse communities across Asia, where economic conditions and consumer

expectations vary widely, the Group must stay agile and locally relevant guided by a customer-first mindset and a disciplined focus on growth opportunities that further build on its competitive advantages. Over the year, DFI has invested in delivering better outcomes for customers through price reinvestment, Own Brand innovation, omnichannel expansion and data-driven personalisation - focus areas that will remain central to its growth plans in the years ahead.

An expanded digital ecosystem also unlocks new avenues to drive deeper value for supplier partners and enhance shareholder returns.

I would like to end by expressing the Board's appreciation to our team members. We could not be more proud of the work they have done over the year, particularly in responding to the deeply tragic Tai Po fire in Hong Kong. Their unwavering dedication to serving our customers across Asia is what will continue to drive our business forward and build long-term value for shareholders.

‌Group Chief Executive's Review

We are pleased to close 2025 on a strong note, underpinned by a recovery in LFL subsidiary sales, improved margins and proactive portfolio actions. Looking into 2026 and beyond,

I am confident that DFI has developed a renewed foundation as we execute against our strategic priorities to deliver sustained, profitable growth, drive market share gains across our formats and generate long-term returns for

our shareholders.

Introduction

We are pleased to close 2025 on a strong note, with underlying profit attributable to shareholders up 35% year-on-year to US$270 million, reaching the high end of our guidance range. This strong performance was driven by a recovery in LFL subsidiary sales, improved margins and proactive portfolio actions, including the divestment

of our minority stake in Yonghui.

Customers across Asia, including in our home market of Hong Kong, are increasingly seeking quality and convenience at great value. While macro challenges remain, we are encouraged to see early signs of recovery in key retail segments, including 3% growth in health and beauty sales in Hong Kong, supported by a 12% increase in tourist arrivals. As Asia's leading multi-format omnichannel retail platform, we are uniquely positioned to meet customers' evolving needs

effectively across all channels through relevant and compelling customer propositions.

With a renewed focus on balancing profitability with capital discipline, the Group ended the year in a net cash position, after distributing a US$600 million special dividend, and delivered a significantly improved return on capital employed (ROCE) of 9.4%. Our strengthened balance sheet allows us to reinvest for growth as we deepen our focus on higher-return subsidiary businesses and strategic priorities that sustain value creation for shareholders. For the full year 2025, we returned a total of approximately US$740 million to shareholders, including the special dividend.

In December, we held our inaugural Investor Day where DFI announced a new dividend policy with an increased payout ratio of 70%. Dividends paid during the year, combined with a share price increase of more than 70%, resulted in a total

shareholder return exceeding 90% in 2025. We also outlined our three-year plan for realising our financial ambitions and accelerated growth goals, including a target of US$310-350 million in underlying profit (representing 11% CAGR at the mid-point compared to 2025*) and an improved ROCE of at least 15% by 2028.

As we enter the new financial year, we remain firmly focused on executing our strategic priorities to drive sustained, profitable growth.

Strategic deliverables - key progress

Over the past year, we have made significant progress in our transformation from a portfolio business into a strategically focused operating company. We have been advancing our strategy across five key deliverables to create greater value for our customers, supplier partners and shareholders.

Retail Excellence

By delivering best-in-class customer propositions, we see a wide range of opportunities for driving higher store sales density and market share gain across all business segments.

* Excluding Singapore Food business and minority stake in Robinsons Retail upon completion of divestment in 2025.



Health & Beauty

Mannings and Guardian continue to strengthen their position as the trusted advisor for wellness, unlocking strong cross-category growth opportunities through an assortment with high functional value across supplements, derma skin care and hair care. Customers across Asia are increasingly shifting to retailers that best fulfil their broad, diverse and unique wellness goals. Our technology-enabled personalised services - including skin, scalp and health assessments - drive higher purchase conversion and basket size by deepening customer understanding of their wellness needs. These capabilities will be expanded to 25% of our Health & Beauty store network to enhance our competitive differentiation and leadership in wellness.

Convenience

7-Eleven is broadening its shopper missions towards higher-margin, non-cigarette categories with a strategic focus on ready-to-eat (RTE) offerings, which accounted for 24% of Convenience sales

in 2025. Across markets, consumers are seeking more convenient, high-quality and value-driven meal solutions. The expansion of Food Bars to 1,250 locations in South China and the rollout of RTE-focused store revamp across the entire

Hong Kong network by 2028 will further strengthen 7-Eleven's RTE proposition.

Food

Given consumers' pivot towards value, continued northbound travel and increasing competition from Chinese mainland e-commerce platforms, the Wellcome team has focused on enhancing food

basket value for customers by advancing our Everyday Low Price strategy. Investment in reduced pricing through strategic direct sourcing of core basket items, particularly in fresh, has resulted in

a 2% growth in volume driven by higher footfall and increased items per basket. Direct sourcing allowed us to reduce prices while protecting gross profit, resulting in a 30-basis point gross margin improvement. These efforts further supported the narrowing basket price gap compared to the Greater Bay Area to a currently low single-digit price difference† .

Home Furnishings

Similar to Food, IKEA has focused on enhancing its affordability and accessibility by reinvesting in the pricing of high-volume products, broadening the range of entry price points, rationalising the tail

of slow-selling assortment, and further expanding digital touchpoints through third-party marketplaces. We are also strengthening IKEA Food as a key draw for customers seeking exciting and affordable

food experiences as part of their store journey. These efforts are supported by significant cost transformation initiatives across our operating markets.

Own Brand

Our reset in Own Brand strategy across Food and Health & Beauty is driving higher customer loyalty and sales penetration through greater exclusivity and value. By refining our product range to align closely with customer needs and maximising cross-selling across our formats, we achieved meaningful improvements in margins and sales productivity.

† Based on a third-party assured price comparison of a 200-item comparable basket between DFI and Greater Bay Area.

Access to Customers

We continue to strategically expand our network in high-growth, profitable markets, primarily through a capex-light franchise model, with 114 net new openings‡ in 2025. In particular, we will deepen

7-Eleven's presence in Guangdong province to around 2,400 stores and expand Guardian's footprint in Indonesia to approximately 750 stores by 2028.

Omnichannel and Data Ecosystem

DFI's expanded omnichannel ecosystem is elevating our relevance and engagement with customers, providing us deep data insights across daily consumer needs that few peers in Asia can match. This ecosystem now allows our customers to engage with DFI brands across more than 90 digital channels, including apps, websites, third-party marketplaces, quick-commerce partnership with food delivery platforms and click-and-collect services. Our strengthened digital proposition was underpinned by a 140-basis point increase in online sales penetration to 6.4%^ as at year-end 2025, with order volume more than doubled year-on-year. Our overall digital ecosystem, comprising e-commerce, retail media, insights monetisation and yuu, continues to drive improved financial returns for

the Group.

Retail Media (DFIQ Media)

Positioned to become Asia's leading omnichannel retail media network, DFIQ Media offers a differentiated online and offline advertising proposition, enabling brands to execute cross-format campaigns through our digital assets and more than 10,000 in-store digital screens across markets. DFIQ Media delivered strong sales growth, albeit from a low starting base, achieving a fourfold increase in revenue over 2024, supported by proprietary data insights from over 7 million monthly active users across our growing digital portfolio.

DFIQ Portal

We aim to empower our supplier partners with actionable insights that drive greater business impact and better outcomes for customers. The DFIQ Portal - a vendor platform combining DFIQ Media, DFIQ Insights and trade capabilities - was launched in December 2025, providing suppliers real-time access to critical analytics that enables optimised inventory management and more effective strategic planning.

Retail Analytics

Leveraging cross-format data insights from over 5 million yuu Rewards members in Hong Kong, we continue to enhance our assortment and promotional decisions to help expand both in-store sales and gross profit.

Lean & Agile Model

Maintaining a lean and agile operating model is essential to ensuring efficient decision-making in a rapidly evolving retail landscape. Continued cost

optimisation and better product sourcing will support both strategic price reinvestment and sustainable margin expansion in the coming years. Overhead reductions are expected to translate into lower SG&A costs beginning 2026. We remain disciplined in capex, driving network growth primarily through a franchise model with a strong focus on paybacks.

Strategic pivot from portfolio to a focused operating company

We conduct strategic reviews of our businesses guided by return on capital and total shareholder return priorities. During the year, we completed the divestment of our minority stakes in Yonghui and Robinsons Retail, as well as our Singapore Food business, generating total gross proceeds of approximately US$1 billion in cash consideration.

In line with our capital allocation priorities, these proceeds were redeployed towards debt repayment, resulting in a net cash position of US$70 million as at year-end 2025. In addition, a special dividend

of US$600 million was distributed to shareholders in October 2025. The Group remains focused on

maximising total shareholder return while maintaining strategic flexibility for inorganic growth opportunities that are accretive to long-term shareholder value.

2025 performance

Total revenue from subsidiaries in 2025 was US$8.9 billion, up 1% on a LFL basis, excluding cigarettes. Organic revenue, excluding divested businesses§ for the comparable period, grew 0.5%. Strong sales growth in the Health & Beauty division was offset by lower contributions from other segments.

Excluding the impact of the minority stake divestments in Yonghui and Robinsons Retail completed in 2025, total revenue for the Group, including 100% of associates and joint ventures, remained broadly stable.

‡ Excluding Singapore Food. Divestment of business was completed in early December 2025.

^ Excluding Singapore Food, cigarettes under Convenience and IKEA food.

§Excluding financial contribution from Singapore Food (December 2024) and Hero Supermarket (2024) for comparison purpose.

Group Chief Executive's Review

The Group reported total underlying profit attributable to shareholders of US$270 million for the year, up 35% year-on-year. This was

supported by improved profitability from subsidiary businesses, lower financing costs and higher underlying profit from associates following the divestment of Yonghui.

Underlying profit from subsidiaries was US$183 million, 15% higher than the prior year. This was driven by strong Health & Beauty performance in addition to earnings recovery in

Singapore Food and Home Furnishings segment, partially offset by lower contribution from Convenience due to reduced cigarette volume.

The Group's share of underlying profit from associates was US$88 million, an improvement of US$45 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to the divestment of minority stake in loss-making Yonghui and higher contribution from Maxim's as a result of improved mooncake sales and restaurant performance in Southeast Asia. Despite challenging trading conditions in Hong Kong and Chinese mainland, Maxim's delivered profit growth in these regions through cost optimisation.

The Group reported operating cash flow after lease payments of US$430 million, 30% higher than

the prior year, supported by underlying operating profit growth. Free cash flow†† for the period was US$281 million, up 78% year-on-year. As at

31 December 2025, the Group's net cash was US$70 million, compared to US$468 million net debt at 31 December 2024.

Sustainability

We remain firmly committed to our purpose to sustainably serve Asia for generations with everyday moments - with a focused, balanced,

collaborative approach taking into account the macroeconomic environment and consumer sentiment. We are driving progress on our pathway to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50%

by 2030 from a 2021 baseline, with our targeted investments in refrigerant emissions management, energy efficiency, and behaviour-change initiatives across our operations gaining momentum throughout the year. From 2025 to 2030, we will further increase the share of renewable energy use in our portfolio, helping to accelerate the energy transition in the key markets where we operate.

As advocates for our customers and the communities we serve, we are committed to delivering affordable, sustainable products.

In 2025, we delivered 380 tonnes of Own Brand low-carbon rice to our Hong Kong markets and added multiple products through our Grounds to

Green programme to our 7-Eleven RTE range. These award-winning initiatives demonstrate our ability to anticipate customer expectations and deliver on market demands. We maintained strong discipline in waste and packaging management, keeping us on track to meet our 2030 targets.

Outlook

2025 marked a year of strong progress for DFI, with the strategic reset across our businesses driving improved underlying profitability in both subsidiaries and associates, a stronger ROCE and enhanced shareholder returns. Our strengthened balance sheet and disciplined use of capital provides capacity to reinvest for growth both organically

and inorganically, laying a strong foundation as we pursue our financial ambitions of achieving a

US$310-350 million underlying profit (+11% CAGR at midpoint compared to 2025#) and a 7-10% online sales mix by 2028.

At our inaugural Investor Day, we outlined clear strategic priorities which include strengthening our value proposition, enhancing omnichannel capabilities, accelerating Own Brand innovation, deepening digital monetisation, and leveraging

data to deliver better outcomes for both customers and supplier partners.

For the full year of 2026, the Group expects organic revenue growth of approximately 2-3%** and underlying profit attributable to shareholders to

be between US$270 million and US$300 million. Excluding the divestment impact of Singapore Food and Robinsons Retail, this would represent a

year-on-year growth of 13-25%.

Looking into 2026 and beyond, I am confident that DFI has developed a renewed foundation as

we execute against our strategic priorities to deliver sustained, profitable growth, drive market share gains across our formats and generate long-term returns for our shareholders.

to 2024 and were marginally lower on an LFL basis. Underlying operating profit was US$97 million, down 6% year-on-year. Favourable sales mix shift towards higher-margin non-cigarette categories drove a return to a positive profit growth in the second half of 2025.

In Hong Kong, the Group expects to mitigate financial impact from declining cigarette sales

in 2026 and beyond through continued growth in higher-margin non-cigarette categories, including RTE which accounted for 18% of sales for the full

7-Eleven Singapore reported robust LFL sales growth driven by a stronger RTE proposition and effective promotional campaigns. In South China, continued store network expansion through a capex-light franchise model, including 99 net increase in store number, contributed to 3% sales growth. LFL sales, however, were down 2% largely due to intense subsidy competition from food delivery platforms, primarily in the first half of the year. The focus remains on driving footfall through innovative RTE and Food Bar expansion to 1,250 stores by the end of 2028, compared to 325 as

of year-end. Both markets saw meaningful profit growth, supported by a favourable product mix shift and disciplined cost control.

Southeast Asia Food sales performance benefited from multiple rounds of government consumption voucher distribution in Singapore during the year, including S$800 vouchers for each household and S$600 vouchers for individuals in celebration of the nation's 60th anniversary. These vouchers, which were redeemable at supermarkets and heartland merchants, drove stronger sales in the Food segment. Convenience and Health & Beauty did not see a

similar uplift in sales as the vouchers were not applicable to these outlets. Divestment of Singapore Food business was completed in early December 2025. Post-completion, the Group continues to serve the Singapore market through its Guardian and

7-Eleven brands. As the only nationwide modern trade operator in Cambodia, Lucky reported robust LFL sales growth with strong margin expansion on scale benefits.

‌Financial Review

The Group delivered strong financial performance in 2025, achieving a 35% growth in underlying profit and a materially strengthened balance sheet through disciplined execution and portfolio optimisation. With a sharpened focus on profitability, capital efficiency and shareholder returns, the Group is well positioned to deliver sustainable growth in the years ahead.

Results

DFI Retail Group delivered a strong financial performance in 2025, with underlying profit attributable to shareholders increasing by 35% year-on-year to US$270 million, reaching the high end of the Group's guidance. The improvement was driven by better subsidiary performance, including stronger Health and Beauty results, earnings recovery in Singapore Food, along with lower financing costs and a material uplift in associate contributions following the divestment of the Group's minority stake in loss-making Yonghui.

These encouraging outcomes reflect disciplined execution of the Group's strategic priorities and stronger profitability across subsidiaries following portfolio optimisation.

Revenue from subsidiaries was broadly stable at US$8.9 billion. On a LFL basis excluding cigarettes, revenue increased 1%, with strong sales growth

in Health and Beauty partially offset by softer performance in other segments.

Higher profitability in Health and Beauty was supported by strong LFL sales performance. In Convenience, a continued decline in lower-margin cigarette sales weighed on overall

performance; however, non-cigarette categories delivered improvements in both value and margin contribution. Food recorded improved profitability, supported by earnings recovery in Singapore.

Profitability in Home Furnishings also improved, supported by continued cost-efficiency initiatives.

Net financing charges reduced by US$26 million year-on-year, mainly due to lower interest expense on external borrowings and higher interest income. The Group ended the year with a net cash of US$70 million, following the divestment of Yonghui completed in February 2025. This compared to

a net debt of US$468 million at end of 2024.

The Group's share of underlying profit from associates rose to US$88 million, up US$45 million from the prior year, bolstered by stronger contributions from Maxim's and an improved earnings mix following portfolio optimisation.



The Group's tax charge increased to US$58 million in 2025, compared to US$27 million in 2024. The higher charge primarily reflected the increase in underlying profit during the year, and the one-off impact in 2024 relating to the new Hong Kong tax rule allowing the deduction of reinstatement costs, which came into effect in late 2024.

Overall, the Group's performance underscores its strong operational momentum and disciplined execution as a strategically focused operating company.

return of approximately US$740 million to shareholders, including a special dividend of US$600 million.

The Group recorded net cash of US$70 million at end of 2025, compared with a net debt of US$468 million at 31 December 2024, marking the Group's strongest financial position in recent

years. This strengthened financial position provides the Group with greater flexibility to reinvest in higher-return strategic initiatives for inorganic growth opportunities.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group and its associate operated 7,580 stores across all formats in 12 Asian markets, compared with 7,438 stores at the end of 2024 on a continuing basis.

Dividend

Following the announcement of the Group's new dividend policy with an increased payout ratio of 70%, the Board is recommending a final dividend of US¢10.50 per share, giving a total dividend of US¢14.00 per share for the year. Including the special dividend and interim dividend, total dividends announced in 2025 was US¢58.30 per share, returning approximately US$740 million to shareholders.

Financing

Borrowings to support daily operations and working capital needs are typically arranged in local currencies and managed by operating subsidiaries, while borrowings for strategic initiatives are managed centrally.

The Group maintains healthy liquidity through its cash pooling arrangements and committed credit facilities, ensuring resilience and strategic flexibility.

Financial risk management

A comprehensive discussion of the Group's financial risk management policies is set out in note 38 to the financial statements. The Group manages its exposure to financial risks using a variety of techniques and instruments. The main objectives are to limit

exchange and interest rate risks and to provide a degree of certainty on costs. It is our policy not to engage in speculative derivative transactions. The investment of the Group's cash resources is managed to minimise risk while seeking to enhance yield.

Overall, the Group's funding arrangements are designed to keep an appropriate balance between equity and debt (short- and long-term), to maximise total shareholder return while maintaining strategic flexibility for inorganic growth opportunities that are accretive to long-term shareholder value.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Group continues to face risks arising from macroeconomic conditions, evolving consumer sentiment, competitive intensity in core markets, and foreign currency volatility.

Operational risks, including supply chain disruption, labour availability and regulatory developments, remain a priority for management. These risks are mitigated through sourcing diversification, cost transformation initiatives, and strengthened organisational agility.

A comprehensive review of the principal risks and uncertainties is set out on pages 128 to 137 of the Annual Report.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted by the Group in 2025 are consistent with those applied in the prior year. The Directors continue to review the

appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the Group with regard to developments in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards). There are no new accounting standards and amendments, which are effective in 2025 and relevant to the Group's operations, that have a significant impact on the Group's results, financial position and accounting policies.

‌Group Chief Legal, Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer's Review

Guided by our purpose to 'Sustainably Serve Asia for Generations with Everyday Moments', 2025 marked another year of steady progress in delivering on our sustainability ambitions. During

the year, we continued to strengthen governance, embed sustainability into our business strategy, and deliver measurable progress across our three pillars - People, Products, and Planet.

Governance, strategy and risk management

Our Board and Sustainability Committee maintain strong oversight of our progress and priorities.

We uphold our key principles of being 'focused, balanced and collaborative' in delivering our strategy, concentrating our efforts on our most material issues and working with our team members, suppliers, partners, and communities.

This year, we streamlined our sustainability disclosure, and enhanced our double materiality assessment, climate scenario analysis, and transition plan, further improving transparency and alignment

with IFRS S1 and S2.

People

We continue to create value for our customers through a wide range of health, wellness and nutritional products to help them live healthier lives. Across banners, our community giveback programmes supported over 1.25 million beneficiaries, empowering lives through health, wellness and community initiatives. Our new platform for learning and development (DFILEARN) and structured leadership development

programmes strengthened capability building for our team members. We maintained 100% approved ethical audits for Own Brand factories

in high-risk countries, reinforcing our commitment to human rights in our supply chain.

Products

Our Own Brand strategy continued to make sustainable choices accessible and affordable. We expanded our offerings with sustainability certifications, such as Rainforest Alliance-certified

coffee and responsibly sourced seafood. We launched Own Brand Low-Carbon Rice and 7-Eleven products that embraced circularity through our 'Grounds

to Green' programme. By the end of 2025, we successfully transitioned 83% of our Own Brand product plastic packaging components to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable.

Planet

We are proud of our decarbonisation achievements across our operations and supply chains. As of 2025, we achieved a 22% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to our 2021 baseline, marking clear progress towards our 50% reduction target

by 2030. This reflects the cumulative impact





of our initiatives, ranging from investments in refrigeration upgrades to energy-efficiency projects across our stores.

Our focus on four key commodities in our Scope 3

portfolio is also yielding results. We launched 380 tonnes of Low-Carbon Rice, surpassing our 200-tonne target and demonstrating that

sustainable options can be affordable and scalable by advancing collaboration across value chains.

We achieved 100% certified deforestation-free sourcing for coffee beans used by 7CAFÉ in Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore, as well as IKEA.

We initiated a systematic supplier engagement programme and launched a Sustainability Innovation Challenge to support decarbonisation for the beef and dairy industries.

Waste diversion improved to 66% from 61% across the Group, driven by enhanced recycling and reduction practices across our distribution centres and stores, and the expansion of food donation partnerships.

Recognition and collaboration

Our efforts have been recognised through multiple accolades and most importantly by our customers and shareholders. We continue to invest in industry

collaboration by participating in the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF)'s Climate Transition and Plastic Waste Coalitions, and the World Economic Forum First Movers Coalition for Food, reinforcing our belief that systemic transformation can only be delivered through collective action.

Looking ahead

As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, we remain focused on delivering our plans across our priorities within the People, Products and Planet pillars.

These include continuing to embed sustainability into learning and governance frameworks across the Group, scaling our low-carbon rice programme, amplifying supplier engagement and innovation across key commodities, accelerating energy-efficiency and renewable energy procurement

in priority markets, and progressing on waste diversion programmes. These initiatives will continue to position the Group as 'Customer First, People Led, Shareholder Driven' to support our long-term success.
