This March, we continue to celebrate International Women’s Day. We have launched our campaign “Journeys of Success: What Got Her Here?”, a campaign rooted in our servant leadership culture to honour the achievements of women across DFI.   Aligning with the 2025 global theme of #AccelerateAction, we spotlight a female team member each week, sharing their unique career journey, inspiration and how they have #AcceleratedAction. Meet River Hsu, a dedicated forklift operator at IKEA Taiwan, who has pursued her passion and earned her forklift licence independently. River takes pride in being true to herself, breaking stereotypes and proving that there are no limits to what she can achieve. Her story celebrates individuality, diversity, and the power of determination. River inspires us to embrace who we are and pursue our dreams and passion. Join us in celebrating her journey and the vibrant diversity she brings to our team. #DFIRetailGroup #IKEATaiwan #AccelerateAction #ProudToBeHerself #SuccessonYourOwnTerm #CelebratingIndividuality #NoLimit #Breakingbarriers

Every year on 8 March, we come together to celebrate International Women's Day – a day dedicated to recognising and honouring the incredible achievements of women around the world. This year, we are thrilled to introduce our new campaign, "Journeys of Success: What Got Her Here?" – a tribute to the inspiring stories of women across our organisation, rooted in our servant leadership culture.   In line with the 2025 global theme of #AccelerateAction, this campaign spotlights one of our female team members each week. Through their unique career journeys, sources of inspiration, and stories of how they have #AcceleratedAction, we aim to celebrate their success and empower others to follow their lead.   In our debut episode, we are proud to feature Crystal Chan, DFI's Group Chief Technology and Information Officer (GCTIO). Did you know that in Asia, only 10-15% of CTO positions are held by women? Crystal is a trailblazer, championing diversity in tech and inspiring the next generation of leaders.   Her resilience and determination have shattered barriers in this male-dominated field. With her innovative leadership and ability to turn challenges into opportunities, Crystal continues to inspire us all.   #DFIRetailGroup #IWD #AccelerateAction #BreakingBarriers #Resilience #BounceBack #InspireFutureLeaders

Mannings Hong Kong is excited to launch the Bupa x Mannings PharmaCare Programme with Bupa in Hong Kong. It marks the first-ever partnership between Mannings and an insurer to offer pharmacy consultations to Bupa members for minor ailments at over 60 Mannings pharmacy locations, making healthcare more accessible for Bupa members. This programme provides Bupa members with a convenient alternative to clinic visits for general health concerns. They can receive on-the-spot consultations from registered pharmacists at Mannings pharmacies by simply presenting their Bupa medical cards, and our pharmacists can give advice for managing minor ailments and dispense appropriate medications. As a community pharmacy, Mannings introduced the first-of-its-kind PharmaCare Programme to address the emerging healthcare needs in 2023. It is designed to offer our business partners and their members convenient and efficient community healthcare services through our network, ensuring they receive timely treatment and more recovery time. #DFIRetailGroup #manningsHongKong #BupaHongKong #PharmaCareProgramme #CommunityPharmacy #Healthcare #Partnership

Last week, we had the privilege of coming together for the DFI Annual Leadership Forum — an important event that united over 160 leaders from across our 23 banners and diverse markets under this year’s theme: “Stay Agile, Stay Ahead.”   This forum wasn’t just about reflecting on the achievements in 2024 — it was about aligning on how we continue building a better business, one that’s relentlessly focused on delivering everyday moments that matter to our customers. In today’s ever-changing retail landscape, agility is more than a strategy — it’s a mindset, and it’s how we’ll continue to lead and innovate in the years to come.   What stood out to me most during the forum was the collaboration, energy, and shared commitment across our leadership team. From celebrating milestones to exchanging best practices, it was clear that our collective strength lies in our ability to work together, adapt, and stay focused on our Purpose: “Sustainably serve Asia for generations with everyday moments.”   As we kick off 2025, the insights and inspiration from this forum will guide how we sharpen our competitive edge and deepen the connections we create with our customers. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this remarkable event — from the organisers to every leader who brought their ideas and passion to the table.   Now, it’s time to carry this momentum into action. Together, let’s seize the opportunities ahead and continue shaping a future where we don’t just stay ahead — we lead with purpose.   Here’s to an exciting and impactful year ahead, united by our vision and shared goals.   DFI Retail Group Tom van der Lee Martin Lindstrom Curtis Liu Andrew Wong Crystal Chan Erica Chan Shen Li Wee-Lee Loh Joy Jinghui Xu   #DFIRetailGroup #DFILeadershipForum #StayAgile #StayAhead #ServingEverydayMoments
