One of the biggest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in the world, Cadbury Nigeria Plc, a subsidiary of Mondelez International, celebrated 60 years of operational resilience in the nation yesterday and pledged to keep adding value.
BrandSpur news brand reports that the company promised to keep adding value for all of its stakeholders, including investors, consumers, distributors, and employees, during the diamond jubilee celebration held at its Lagos headquarters.
Its former chairman, Dr. Christopher Kolade, stressed the value of upholding fundamental values despite changes in the corporate environment in a lecture marking the event. Speaking about his personal worldview, he stated that while excellent ideas never change, change is inevitable.
Citing a personal experience while still at Cadbury Nigeria, he emphasised the importance of putting people above prestige, drawing inspiration from Winston Churchill’s leadership during World War II, which demonstrated the need for leaders to adjust to the changing situation. He asserts that the company’s dedication to sustainable growth and development is in line with its human capital. He claims the most valuable asset in any company’s management is its workforce.
With people at the centre of its operations, Cadbury, which is publicly traded on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, stated that it plans to stay in Nigeria and is dedicated to advancing innovation, quality, and profitability.
