We operate in an industry in which new issues emerge before old ones are solved. Understanding how to build a business, that can grow sustainably and make a contribution, is a challenge that successive generations of Heineken management have been addressing, since the Company was founded nearly 150 years ago. Today though, we are luckier than our predecessors. We have the benefit of more than a hundred years of science and experience. Today's generation of Heineken management knows more about our impact on society, understands more and is able to deliver more in this regard, than any before it. With our acquisition of key parts of the Scottish Newcastle business, I am pleased to say that we will welcome into Heineken, individuals who have helped to build a strong reputation for citizenship and sustainability. My colleagues and I are looking forward to sharing ideas and learnings in order to build a stronger business and social agenda. This report helps us to explain our social agenda as well as our achievements against it. The explicit focus on seven areas last year was a significant step in the transparency of our operations and received positive feedback from many groups of stakeholders. Real, two-way communication between our stakeholders and Heineken is crucial. That is why in 2008, we will continue to actively seek dialogue with stakeholder groups across these seven focus areas.
