A MESSAGE FROM BOB L’HEUREUX
GUIDE FOR SUPPLIERS 2022 Edition Updated August 2022
Dear Valued Supplier, As we head into 2022, we’ll be well past the mid-point of work across Ahold Delhaize USA companies to transform the supply chain to an integrated self-distribution model for the future. As you know, this transformation is an integral part of enabling all Ahold Delhaize USA companies to deliver for Connected Customers – whenever, wherever, however they choose to shop – and position each brand, and your companies for continued omnichannel growth. As this journey continues, Ahold Delhaize USA companies recognize the important role of strong relationships and partnerships with the supplier community, and inside the supply chain, we are taking active steps to help you navigate the various aspects of the transformation, especially the transition of facilities into the self-managed network. This second edition of the Supply Chain Transformation Vendor Toolkit is one of many examples. In the subsequent pages, you will find comprehensive information to help guide you through the 2022 facility transitions, including the specifics around facility transitions and the context, scope, timing, and details of each. As new information becomes available, this document will also evolve. Please be sure to check the link regularly to access up-to-the-minute information. Key facility transition items are also reinforced through Ahold Delhaize USA companies’ monthly supplier updates. If you’re not already subscribed to the Vendor Portal, I encourage you and your team to sign up. Registration takes less than a minute, and access is granted instantly. Within the Vendor Portal, you can find a Self-Distribution tile, which houses this toolkit and many other tools and resources related to the supply chain transformation. If you need additional information or have suggestions for ways we can continue to enhance our partnership, please reach out to any of the contacts found in this toolkit or your brand category representatives. We look forward to continuing to drive mutual business growth and appreciate your support as we together optimize the capabilities of one of the largest supply chain networks on the East Coast.
