We reacted swiftly and decisively to the global downturn. Our portfolio of innovative products and concepts aligned with the wellness and sustainability trends, strengthened by the launch of about 50 new products, has enabled us to leverage our strong position in dynamic markets effectively. This, combined with our systematic efforts to improve efficiency and productivity, meant that we were able to improve our operating result despite the decrease in sales volumes seen last year.'
