    We announced today 📢 an important strategic milestone for our Group: What's Cooking? and AURELIUS, a global alternative investor, have an agreement on the intent to sell and acquire the SBU Savoury (464m of the EUR 832m consolidated turnover of What's Cooking? in FY 2023). The transaction will result in a net equity value for What's Cooking? of approximately EUR 100m after costs incurred. The proposed transaction is subject to customary conditions, employee consultation and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed during 2024 or at the latest early 2025. We are confident that the strong fundamentals of SBU Savoury will continue to flourish 💚 under the future ownership of AURELIUS and will support on a smooth transition. In addition, at What's Cooking? we accelerate 🍝 the organic growth of our SBU Ready Meals business, both under our own and private label brands, by investing and through potential acquisitions. Doing so, we continue to leverage the strengths of each business unit towards the future! We go for it! #WhatsCooking #Food #strategy #Savoury #ReadyMeals #YesWeCare

    Green-GO! @What’s Cooking?: we take CO2 reduction seriously! At What’s Cooking?, we believe in cooking up a better world, and our Green-GO! journey is at the heart of that commitment. 📉 240 tons of CO2 saved We’ve invested in measurement tools and developed great recipes (validated by external panels) that are lower in CO2 emissions and richer in vegetables. One of these is our Come a casa Moussaka, where we've combined delicious taste with sustainability. As a result, we’ve reduced our CO2 emissions by 240 tons per year. 🌳 This is equivalent to planting 11.000 trees and letting them grow for a year. Day by day, we craft with care to reduce our carbon footprint while offering good food for all and protecting the planet. Follow us for more Green-GO! updates as we continue this journey. #CO2Reduction #SustainableFood #GreenGO #WhatsCooking
