SPAR International

SPAR International is responsible for the co-ordination and development of the worldwide SPAR organisation. The Board of SPAR International develops the strategy and agrees specific objectives to be achieved. The current strategy 'Towards 2010', has focused on the development of SPAR into new countries. While each SPAR country is completely responsible for its own operations, SPAR International supports the implementation of best international practice in food retailing and distribution.

The principle activities of SPAR International can be summarised as:

  • New Country Development
  • Retail Development
  • Marketing
  • Human Resources
  • Buying
  • Logistics and ICT
