What is your strategy?

Today, we shared our Kraft Heinz Q2 earnings. While this quarter was not without its challenges, we worked together to unlock efficiencies, improve productivity and protect our bottom line. I’m particularly proud of our International Developed Markets (the UK, Europe and Pacific) for growing our Adjusted Operating Income* in the first half of the year, and for making great progress in gaining share since Q1.   Big thanks to our teams around the world who continue to show up every day with a commitment to greatness and to always doing better than yesterday as we aim to lead the future of food. I firmly believe in our long-term strategy and our path towards delivering consistent, profitable growth. #HereAtKraftHeinz #Earnings #DevelopedMarkets *Non-GAAP financial measure.

🚀 Building Trust: Marketing & Finance Alignment 🚀 Unlocking growth requires more than just numbers; it demands trust and transparency. During the 2024 CommerceNext Growth Show, CFOs from UNIQLO, Brooklinen and Coach discussed how regular communication, open dialogue and learning from failures can foster a culture of collaboration between marketing and finance. These elements are crucial for driving innovation and success.

M&S both pilloried and congratulated on their 'digital first' AGM by ShareSoc’s Patron - Lord Lee, Director - Mark Northway and Member / M&S Shareholder Panel - Cliff Weight. After 2023's digital only AGM, M&S revert to a hybrid, but still try to discourage anyone from attending. Heart in the right place? The original big 'Hoo Haa!' in 2023 was to draw attention to broken Shareholder Rights and the seemingly wayward Digitisation Taskforce that was supposed to fix it. Not much has changed in 12 months. In last year’s campaign main issue was the need for Government to change the Companies Act to modernise it to allow electronic (ie digital) communication with and between shareholders. Sadly, very little progress on this much more important point has been made.

Should nearly half (43%) of the S&P 500 (by market cap) be under investigation at once? How much of an economic drag, a fundraising drag (if you can't merge, you can't exit, if you can't exit, you can't raise) is this? From SEMAFOR: "This... combines the two big forces in today’s corporate world: stock-market concentration and Lina Khan (who no longer lets herself be tagged)/the Federal Trade Commission, who along with the Justice Department and competition authorities in Europe and the UK have active probes or lawsuits against nearly every big tech company plus scores of others, including Visa, Kroger, and Coca-Cola." This is overreach and bad for business. Agree? Disagree? #FTC #regulation #overreach #economy
