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, innovative solutions using environment-friendly technologies such as those related to renewable energy resources suited to each country’s situation. We invest in the green energies value chain to support low-carbon growth and prepare E-mobility infrastructures.
We are expanding our business areas to include local production, wholesale, and retail of pharmaceutical products. With complete value chain integration, we will continue to strengthen our efforts to secure access to high-quality medicines for all African countries.
We respond to consumer expectations. We offer consumers the possibility to have a good time in our shopping malls and to shop in comfort at supermarkets. We also touch the local economy with the production of everyday consumer goods such as household hygiene products and beverages. We will continue to contribute to the development of modern distribution.
