PICKING UP THE PACE! Shape 2012 iS driVinG ChanGe structure. in taking this step, we are laying the foundation on which we can further build our international business. To sum up: your METRO GROUP is more efficient, more customer-focused and more international than ever before – and is generating more growth as a result. We have already achieved more than one-third of the planned €1.5 billion in earnings improvements from shape 2012. more than anything, this is the result of our approximately 283,000 employees in 33 countries who contributed significantly to our strong business performance. their extraordinary commitment makes it possible to provide our customers with a comprehensive range of products and services. i – and my colleagues on the management Board – would like to express our deep gratitude to all employees of metRo GRoUP. the positive business developments have also been reflected in the performance of the metro share. during the year under review, the share clearly outperformed the German daX stock market index with a gain of 26.6 percent. naturally, you as a shareholder in the Company should benefit from our Company’s earnings performance. For this reason, the management Board and the supervisory Board will propose to you at the annual General meeting in düsseldorf on 6 may 2011 that an increased dividend of €1.35 per ordinary share be distributed for the financial year 2010. What lies ahead in 2011? We will firmly consolidate and build on the successes achieved in 2010. this means that we want to set a Group-wide standard with these earnings achievements. While we have already come a long way with shape 2012, we will need more stamina in future. that means: our key focus in 2011 and 2012 must be on further increasing our productivity. in the process, we will benefit from the fact that we have internalised shape 2012 as the programme has become a part of our corporate dna. the entrepreneurial spirit that i can sense across metRo GRoUP reinforces my conviction that we will again implement a great number of measures in 2011 that will propel our long-term growth. METRO GROUP’s future success is closely tied to the success of our sustainability strategy. our Company can continue to achieve profitable growth only if it conducts its core business on
PICKING UP THE PACE! Shape 2012 iS driVinG ChanGe a sustainable basis. this principle is firmly embedded in our strategy. in their business activities, all sales divisions and companies carefully weigh not only economic issues but also social and environmental aspects in particular. the success of our approach has also been recognised outside the Company: in the dow Jones sustainability World index, which benchmarks the performance of the world’s leading companies, we have improved in all three dimensions – economic, environmental and social factors – compared with the previous year. in addition, oekom research recommended our Company as a “prime” investment for sustainably minded investors for the first time. We will continue to move forward on our chosen path. In addition, 2011 will be a special year for METRO GROUP as we celebrate our 15th anniversary. on 25 July 1996, the metRo aG share was listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange for the first time. since that day, our Company has demonstrated over and over again its fortitude and willingness to change. We began as a business group focused on Germany. today, we are one of the world’s most international retail and wholesale groups. and we have ambitious goals for the future. We intend to exceed the sales and earnings results of 2010. We are continuing our international expansion and plan to open more than 110 new locations. We are continuously refining our successful formats. and, in the context of our multichannel strategy, we are moving forward with the dovetailing of stationary sales with online retailing. dear shareholders, in the name of the entire management Board of metRo GRoUP, i would like to express my gratitude to you. as a shareholder in our Company, your trust forms the foundation of our entrepreneurial activities. We will continue to diligently and actively safeguard your interests this year and ask you once again to express your confidence in us.
