“Our ambition is to reach 50 billion euros in sales by 2030.” “We continue to be a major employer, we continue to create jobs (...) We grow, we make profits, but we also do more for the societies where we are present and we scrupulously fulfil our obligations.”
Pedro Soares dos Santos Chairman and CEO of the Jerónimo Martins Group
RESULTS ANALYSIS
“Our business is only relevant as long as it grows. We're not a business with very high margins. Just do the math: our profit margin is no more than 2%.” “We've grown in number of clients and increased volumes. This means that we serve well those who trust us every day.”
Ana Luísa Virgínia CFO of the Jerónimo Martins Group
Approximately 72% of our sales are generated in Poland, 19% in Portugal, and 8.5% in Colombia.
THIRTY YEARS DRIVING THE POLISH MARKET
“What we see [in Slovakia] confirms the intuition we had: what we have built over 30 years in Poland is a value proposition that we believe is unique not only in the Polish market, but even at European level.” “We are a crucial part of Polish society, not just because of the number of people we employ, but also because of the network of partners we work with.”
Luís Araújo CEO of Biedronka
FOOD SPECIALISTS
“Pingo Doce is celebrating 45 years, and today we have several generations of customers with us who trust the Company, who like our offer and the way we welcome them every day.” “We're focused on ready meals, on the Comida Fresca brand. Today we are the largest restaurant chain in Portugal, with 237 restaurants.”
Isabel Pinto CEO of Pingo Doce
JERÓNIMO MARTINS FOUNDATION
“We believe the Foundation's mission will be strategic in strengthening our position as an employer and will evolve in the countries where we are present.” “The Foundation will essentially work on three main areas of action to mitigate internal and external vulnerabilities: in education; in health and in social emergencies, particularly in the fight against poverty.”
Marta Lopes Maia Chief People Officer of the Jerónimo Martins Group
