Division Strategies
Under our vision “WITH AFRICA FOR AFRICA,” we work alongside CFAO to contribute to Africa’s growth for the future children of Africa. With approximately 23,000* employees, we operate a diverse range of businesses spanning all 54 African countries, focusing on four business domains: Mobility, Green Infra, Healthcare, and Consumer. Across these domains, we build and expand value chains from imports and production to retail, delivering products tailored to local needs and high-quality services. By leveraging the network built over more than 170 years, we capture growth opportunities in Africa and aim to achieve further expansion through accelerated investment.

Mobility is one of the keys to the continent’s development. We constantly try to find the most efficient mobility solutions for the greatest number of people. Whenever we operate, we need to move from selling vehicles to providing solutions for everyone. We aim to renew the African vehicle fleet with safer and cleaner mobility solutions.
We aim to accelerate green infrastructure development through sustainable and high-performing solutions centered around renewable energy suited to each country’s situation. By building a green energy value chain, we contribute to low-carbon growth in Africa.
We are integrating our value chain across local production, wholesale, and retail of pharmaceutical products. By strengthening the reliability of supply and distribution chains, we will contribute to securing access to affordable, high-quality medicines across Africa.
To meet the diverse expectations of the emerging middle class, we offer premium experiences in shopping malls and varied, high-quality products at hypermarkets and supermarkets. By rolling out modern retail formats, we will continue to contribute to the development of the retail industry in Africa.

The African continent, often referred to as the “greatest frontier of the 21st century,” offers significant growth potential. Its population, driven largely by younger generations, is projected to increase from approximately 1.5 billion today to around 2.5 billion by 2050*, accounting for roughly one quarter of the global population. Alongside this demographic expansion, economic growth exceeding the global average is contributing to the steady expansion of the middle class. These dynamics are enhancing the attractiveness of African markets. While challenges such as political instability and security concerns remain, Africa is expected to overcome these hurdles and contribute to global economic growth.
