This morning, our CFO Jolanda Poots-Bijl sounded the gong at Euronext Amsterdam to celebrate Ahold Delhaize's 10th anniversary 💚    What started as one of the world's largest cross-border mergers in food retail has evolved into a leading food tech and retail company, combining strong local brands with international scale, innovation and advanced omnichannel capabilities. And today, we relived a defining moment in our history: the first day of trading on Euronext as a merged company.    Over the past decade, we have successfully navigated a period marked by unprecedented change, from a global pandemic and inflationary pressures to rapid technological advances and evolving stakeholder expectations. Through it all, our associates and strong local brands have remained focused on what matters most: serving customers, supporting communities and creating sustainable value for all stakeholders.    It was especially meaningful to mark this milestone together with associates from Albert Heijn stores, Delhaize operations, and Ahold Delhaize Group’s head office in Zaandam, including colleagues from HR, technology and sustainability.     Thank you Euronext for celebrating with us.     Here's to ten years of Ahold Delhaize and to the next decade of growth, innovation and success.

"Everything we do is for the customer. Every decision should ultimately make life better, easier, or more affordable."    This summer, we're celebrating 10 years of Ahold Delhaize. To honor this milestone, we’re launching the 10 Series: a collection of stories where people across the company share their perspective on the topics closest to their work.     In our second edition, we explore a topic that impacts millions of households: keeping food and products affordable. From global supply chain pressures to commodity prices, it’s a challenge we navigate every day. Through our cost savings program Save for Our Customers, we continuously find efficiencies and reinvest those savings into better value and experiences for our brands' customers. Together with André Blesing, we dive into how this works in practice. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ecWUN8xE    #AholdDelhaize #AD10years #The10series

Today, we recognize Independence Day in the United States, marking 250 years since the country’s founding on July 4, 1776.    At Ahold Delhaize, this milestone also reflects our deep-rooted presence in the U.S., where we are proud to support many colleagues, brands, and communities across the country. Moments like these highlight the strong connections we have built between those over time.    Every day, and especially during celebrations like this, our teams go the extra mile to help create meaningful moments and bring people together.

10 years ago this Summer, Ahold N.V. and Delhaize Group - two retail pioneers with over 150 years of individual heritage - came together as Ahold Delhaize. This moment marked the foundation of a company built on shared family values, strong local brands, and a deep commitment to serving communities. Combining all we’ve learned through our rich histories, we started an exciting new chapter together. Over the past decade, our teams and brands have continued to grow, innovate, and adapt – always with customers at the heart of everything we do. Today, this journey is guided by our “Growing Together” strategy, which underpins our vision to be the trusted local (food) retailer, placing vibrant customer experiences and trusted products front and center. Over the coming months, we’ll be celebrating this 10-year milestone by sharing stories from our colleagues, showing exclusive footage, and, of course, focusing on the future of Ahold Delhaize. Stay tuned! Here’s to the foundation that shaped us over the past 10 years – and to growing together for many years to come.      #AholdDelhaize #AD10years #growingtogether
