AOITORI is the community magazine for Japanese people in Belgium.
Colruyt Group is Belgium's largest retail company with 34,000 employees and annual revenue of 10 billion euros. We visited Mr. Stefan Goethaert the CEO of Colruyt Group, at its headquarters in Halle for an interview. The family company, which had been headed by members of the Colruyt family for generations since its founding, attracted media attention when it appointed a CEO from outside of the founding family for the first time in its history. Recently, Mr. Goethaert has been demonstrating his brilliant skills by acquiring Match/Smatch, which is familiar to the Japanese people living in Stockel.
The interview explores how Mr. Goethaert became the CEO of the group, the history of Colruyt with its expansion and the future as the sustainable company.
- Our AOITORI magazine (paper version) is distributed at the Japanese Embassy, food stores and contact points. We provide advertising opportunities for Belgian companies and organisations.
