Promasidor Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive leadership and women’s empowerment as it joined the global community to celebrate the 2026 International Women's Day themed “Give to Gain.”
In a statement commemorating the day, the company celebrated the resilience, achievements, and transformative contributions of women across its workforce, distribution network, and communities.
According to the company, the theme “Give to Gain” reflects its corporate philosophy of creating opportunities for women across its value chain — from female professionals driving innovation within its corporate structure to women distributors, retailers, and community partners strengthening its nationwide presence.
Promasidor noted that women play critical roles across its operations, contributing to innovation, operational excellence, and strategic growth within the organisation.
Speaking on the significance of the day, Chief Executive Officer of Promasidor Nigeria, François Gillet, emphasised the transformative power of inclusion and shared opportunity.
“Women are not just participants in development; they are drivers of transformation,” Gillet said.
“At Promasidor, we believe sustainable growth is built on shared opportunity. Through access, mentorship, leadership pathways and support, we build stronger institutions, resilient communities and a more prosperous nation. ‘Give to Gain’ is not just a message for today — it is a call to action for the future.”
He further noted that empowering women remains both a moral responsibility and a strategic imperative capable of driving innovation, operational excellence and long-term economic progress.
Beyond its internal workforce, Promasidor also acknowledged the important role women play within its broader ecosystem as mothers, professionals, entrepreneurs and key decision-makers who influence household and business purchasing choices.
As a major player in Nigeria’s food and beverage sector, Promasidor continues to strengthen its commitment to gender-inclusive leadership, talent development and support for female entrepreneurs within its distribution network.
The company also said it remains focused on policies that promote work-life balance, productivity and community initiatives aimed at uplifting women and girls.
Promasidor Nigeria is widely recognised for its leading consumer brands including Cowbell, Loya, Miksi, Top Tea, Onga, Twisco and Kremela.
The company reaffirmed that investing in women delivers measurable returns not only for business performance but also for stronger communities, thriving economies and more inclusive workplaces.
