Tiger Brands delivered strong first-half growth while advancing affordability, renewable energy adoption and food security initiatives that continue supporting communities across South Africa.
Tiger Brands has reported a robust performance for the six months ended 31 March 2026, demonstrating resilience despite ongoing pressure on consumer spending and broader economic uncertainty.
The company achieved volume growth across key categories while maintaining a strong focus on affordability, recognising the challenges faced by many South African households.
Chief Executive Officer Tjaart Kruger said the business remains committed to ensuring its products remain relevant and accessible during difficult economic conditions.
“The South African consumer bears the heaviest burden during challenging economic times and as Tiger Brands we remain committed to driving affordability and relevance in everything we do,” said Kruger.
Beyond financial performance, Tiger Brands continues to strengthen its environmental and social impact commitments.
One of the company’s most significant sustainability milestones is a renewable energy wheeling agreement with Apollo Africa. The project will support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across Tiger Brands’ Gauteng manufacturing facilities when implemented from 2028.
The agreement will enable sites supplied through the Ekurhuleni Municipality to receive approximately 60% of their electricity from renewable energy sources.
Tiger Brands also reported continued progress in programmes addressing food security in vulnerable communities while expanding digital transformation initiatives and operational efficiencies.
The company’s sustainability strategy reflects a growing commitment among South African manufacturers to balance commercial performance with environmental responsibility and community impact.
Looking ahead, Tiger Brands will continue prioritising affordability, operational excellence and strategic investments, including its Super Bakery and Mega Distribution Centre projects, while advancing initiatives designed to create long-term value for consumers, communities and the broader economy.
