Our many years of experience, our know-how, the responsibility for people and nature, the ability to react swiftly to market changes and customer needs, the diversity in our products, the skill and resources to identify and develop new markets, and the ex- ploiting of synergies in the three business segments Sugar, Starch and Fruit … … all these make AGRANA strong and profitable STRONG AND PROFITABLE SYNERGIES make us strong and profitable We are more than the sum of our three segments Sugar, Starch and Fruit. We leverage synergies and, by diversifying risks, generate a degree of stability that is without equal in the market. Possible short-term weaknesses in one segment are balanced by strengths in the other segments. This sym- biosis of three strong pillars is unique to AGRANA and gives the Group a critical competitive advantage, both now and especially going forward. SPECIALISATION makes us strong and profitable With our specialties strategy we will continue to develop new markets and ensure growth. In the Starch segment, AGRANA both strives for even higher levels of value-added refining, and is already successfully positioned in the market with starch specialties such as clean label, organic, and GMO-free starches. In the fruit juice concentrate business as well, we continue the consistent exe- cution of our specialties strategy (with beverage bases and the expansion of aroma capabilities). Specialisation is also pursued in the Sugar segment, where it means a stronger positioning as a supplier of a very diverse range of sugar products and as the leading organic sugar pro- ducer in Europe. In addition to being a dependable, trusted partner to the sugar-using industry, we deliver pleasant taste to consumers through our retail products. INVESTMENT makes us strong and profitable Worldwide capital investment strengthens AGRANA’s market position. We go where the global growth in the Fruit segment is and are expanding our production capacity in fruit preparations. The integration of the Argentine company Main Process S.A. is complete. The construction of the new, second plant of AGRANA Fruit in China, in the greater Shanghai area, has be- gun and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2018. And the purchase of a fruit preparations plant in India is another step in AGRANA’s expansion in the Asian growth market. AGRANA’s answer to the rising demand for starch, which is driven by the high share of recycled paper and the growing packaging needs of the online mail order market, is the doubling of the wheat starch capacity in Pischelsdorf, Austria. As well, in the 2017|18 financial year the corn starch factory in Aschach, Austria, through its own capacity expansion, in- creased its grinding volume to more than 500,000 tonnes of corn per year. RESPONSIBILITY makes us strong and profitable Our business success is also the fruit of our responsible, sustainable relationships with people and nature. We not only practice sustainability in our own business activities but are also establishing it in our supply chain. External audits in accordance with the standards of the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) were conducted for the first time in the 2017|18 financial year at contract growers of agricultural crops for several business segments. The audits confirm that a large majority of AGRANA suppliers follow environmentally and socially sustainable practices. In order to further raise awareness among all our suppliers for the importance of eco- logically and socially sound production methods, last year we expanded the presentation of the AGRANA Sustainability Award for contract growers to all categories of raw materials. EXPERIENCE makes us strong and profitable The formal qualifications, the experience and pioneering spirit of our approximately 8,700 employees at 581 production sites around the world inform our innovation, our continual product enhancements and the discovery of new products, and thus ensure the development of new markets. AGRANA as a global company recognises its responsibility to people. We strive for continuous further improvement in our human resource activities. Thus, a number of initiatives were launched in the 2017|18 financial year, including prepa- rations for the future implementation of a global human resource management system. 1 Number of sites as of 7 May 2018.
