    For Tiger Brands, the past year has been one of the most challenging in recent memory, with external and internal events combining to truly test the mettle of the group’s leadership, including its board.

Turning outputs into competitive advantage

Collectively, various outputs (marketing investment, innovation, minimising environmental impact) are transformed into a key outcome for an FMCG company – leading brands. Our strategy is to have the first or second-placed brand in our chosen categories.

In the review period, our operating environment has had a markedly greater impact on our performance. Given the number of issues outside our control, we have had to focus carefully on balancing the trade-off between addressing each issue effectively and preserving our own capitals.
