About this report
Start of main content
The company report of Distribuidora Internacional de Alimentación S.A., DIA aims to communicate to its interest groups how the company manages its current expectations and how they are taken into account to determine its future strategy.
This report includes the information that is traditionally included in the Activity Report and in the Sustainable Development Report. The aim is none other than to provide, in a single document, the necessary information to know and evaluate how the company’s strategy contributes to value creation in the short, mid, and long term. The information included in this report is complemented with the Annual Accounts, the Management Report, and the Corporate Governance report, which are available at www.diacorporate.com.
The initial chapters provide an overall view of the company, focusing on its corporate governance system, its business model and strategy, and its financial results in the current fiscal year. In order to comply with Royal Decree 18/2017, information is provided about what corporate policies govern each of the main non-financial aspects covered by the decree (chapter II), the associated risks (chapter II), and the key issues on which the company is working, taking into account its entire value chain (chapter IV). The following chapters (from chapter IV to chapter X), which are structured around the company’s relationship with its main interest groups, provide information about the company’s specific performance in terms of these key or material issues that have been identified by the company.

The appendices include information about where to find the key indicators throughout the text of the report.
