  • 2020 Report Executive Summary Letter from the Chairman
    2020 Report Executive summary Letter from the Chairman I would like to begin this message by thanking all the people who make EROSKI possible. People who, individually and collectively, have lived up to the demands of society, and who have done so with determination and efficiency, always giving their best for the benefit of the community. The quality of this response did not come as a surprise to any of us. But it must nevertheless be recognised, especially when it reaches this level of commitment. Our main priority is to guarantee the safety of both our employees and customers. It was complicated at the beginning, but we ended up certifying our establishments with the Bureau Veritas Safer Shopping seal. In the meantime, we had to ensure that our stores were well stocked every day. The entire value chain performed exceptionally well and we were able to provide an optimal response to an accumulated demand that increased significantly at the onset of the crisis. The pandemic adversely affected different groups and, fortunately, we were able to meet the pressing needs of many of them. Thus, we donated one million face masks to municipal councils and social organisations and the equivalent of more than 6.5 million meals to Food Banks, amongst other actions. The most complicated year had to be the most supportive year. Consumers changed their shopping habits and we wanted to accompany them in that change. The much talked-about innovation and digital transformation in business is about making life easier for customers, allowing them to find different, innovative products and providing them with a more satisfactory, agile and efficient shopping experience.

  • Assessing Mondragon: Stability & Managed Change in the Face Of
    THE WILLIAM DAVIDSON INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Assessing Mondragon: Stability & Managed Change in the Face of Globalization By: Saioa Arando, Fred Freundlich, Monica Gago, Derek C. Jones and Takao Kato William Davidson Institute Working Paper Number 100 3 November 2010 Assessing Mondragon: Stability and Managed Change in the Face of Globalization Saioa Arando, Fred Freundlich, Monica Gago, Derek C. Jones and Takao Kato November, 2010 Abstract By drawing on new interview evidence gathered during several field trips and new financial and economic data from both external and internal sources, we document and assess the changing economic importance and performance of the Mondragon group of cooperatives as well as the two largest sectors within the group. Compared to conventional firms in the Basque Country and Spain, and producer co-ops (PCs) and employee owned firms elsewhere, in general we find evidence of growing group importance and strong performance and a similarly strong record for the industrial and retail divisions. These stylized facts do not support hypotheses concerning PCs such as predictions that PCs will restrict employment and become progressively comparatively undercapitalized. In accounting for this record, we highlight key and, at times, not uncontroversial institutional developments in the group during the last 20 years or so that indicate the existence of a continuing capacity for institutional adaptation in Mondragon-- an ongoing ability to innovate and make institutional adjustments to deal with emerging challenges. In addition, we provide more detailed information than before on some key distinguishing institutional mechanisms of the Mondragon group, including the extent of worker-member transfers during economic crises, the patterns of profit pooling and the type and volume of training.

Key Themes National players are capturing growth and increasing concentration in Spain Despite the economic turmoil in Spain, leading Spanish grocery retailers are expected to see their growth accelerate in the coming years, led by retailers such as Mercadona and Dia, both growing at over 5% per year. Mercadona is by far the largest Spanish grocery retailer in terms of sales and has successfully adapted its strategy to the economic crisis that Spain is facing. Its impressive business model has enabled it to retain shopper loyalty and support robust physical expansion and the retailer is looking to further strengthen its domination of the supermarket channel and the grocery market overall. Due to the strong growth of two of the top five grocery retailers in Spain the dominance of a few major players will increase.

The full effect of the operation is subject to some conditions precedent, such as certain regulatory and contractual authorizations. EROSKI’s Chairman, Agustín Markaide, has a very positive view of the operation, as it places EROSKI where they planned it to be. “There is no doubt that, with the agreement concluded today, we are completing this process with higher capacities.
