Under the guidance of these leadership teams, our employees are working even more collaboratively and productively. This is leading to improved productivity and a greater ability to deliver sustainable, profitable growth for the Company.

The establishment of our new North American affiliate is a prime example of how we are forming interdisciplinary teams to better serve our customers' needs. The affiliate will provide a single point of contact for our retailers, streamlining their interactions with us, which should strengthen our relationships with our customers and free up resources to ultimately increase store traffic. From an internal perspective, the new affiliate will allow for more focused service and enhanced support to all of our brands.

To better integrate our brands, we have organized them into four clusters according to channel and consumer segmentation. This enables our brands to draw upon their great strengths and share their deep knowledge with each other.
