At International Breweries, determination and innovation drive our success. Here's a look back at the grand finale of the second edition of our Retailer Development Programme, GRIT – Growing Retailers Innovatively Together, held in Lagos. This inspiring event marked the conclusion of a month-long journey across Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Ilesha, and Sagamu, where we trained over 700 retailers with a goal of reaching 1,000 by the end of the year. Through GRIT, we empower retailers with the skills, tools, and mentorship they need to adapt to changing market dynamics and grow sustainable businesses. From access to financing and digital tools to business training and mentorship, the initiative reflects our commitment to Inclusion, Education, and Growth. The Lagos finale was a true celebration of progress, showcasing the dedication of our partners and the success of this transformative programme. Together, we’re fostering entrepreneurship and driving economic growth across Nigeria and Africa.

We recently wrapped up an incredible edition of "My Culture, My Heritage", our exciting initiative that brought together the vibrant cultures within our organization. 🎉 From traditional attires to authentic cuisine, music, and fun games, this initiative provided a unique space for our employees to share their cultural roots and foster deeper connections within our team. With a vibrant runway filled with dazzling colors, where our employees proudly strutted down, showcasing their traditional outfits. Each step was not just a walk but a celebration of heritage, pride, and identity. Between rounds, we captured beautiful moments of freezing smiles, goofy poses, and heartwarming group shots into memories that will last a lifetime. This wasn’t just a day of activities – it was a journey through cultures, stories, and connections that brought us closer together as a team #MyCultureMyHeritage #CelebrateDiversity #InclusionInAction #DEI #TeamCulture #TogetherWeThrive

In the months leading up to our recent 47th Annual General Meeting, we took a significant leap in strengthening our financial foundation with the successful completion of our Rights Issue which enabled us to fully repay our forex-denominated loan. During the meeting, our Board Chairman @Nnaemeka Achebe noted that the elimination of #IBPLC’s FX exposure will improve cash flows and will support the company's return to profitability. The offer was supported by our core shareholders and Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), who took up their rights in full. This has greatly improved our cash flow and reduced risk exposure. Despite the challenges of inflation and currency devaluation, we’re proud to report that we achieved a 19.2% increase in revenue for 2023. With a stronger balance sheet post-AGM, we’re now better equipped to drive innovation, invest in growth opportunities, and deliver increased value to our customers and shareholders. Acknowledging this transformative moment, shareholders expressed optimism and confidence about the company’s future following its upward trajectory We remain committed to the sustainable growth of the company and we’re confident that with our strategic investments and focus on operational efficiency, we’re on the path to long-term profitability. #AGM2024 #IBPLC #SustainableGrowth#BusinessTransformation #RightsIssue #Shareholders
