Kingfisher plc has over 760 stores in Europe and Asia with leading position on the DIY retail markets in Britain, France, Italy, Poland, China and Taiwan. The company is strategically aligned with leading German retailer Hornbach, which has over more than 120 DIY retail stores around Europe, including Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Sweden and Czech Republic.

Kingfisher plc is an international company, with over 40% of Group sales and profit come from outside the UK and Ireland.

Kingfisher’s strategic goal is to be the leading international home improvement retailer.

To help achieve this we have set clear goals for each of our key stakeholders – our customers, staff, suppliers, shareholders and wide community – and we are now focused on delivering those goals.  For customers this means driving down the cost of home improvement, while also offering products that are easier to use and the highest possible quality.

For our employees we want to offer fulfilling careers where performance is recognized and rewarded, and principles of equality and inclusion are stringently applied.

Our key suppliers can expect to benefit from long term partnership that will boost their sales volumes and consequently allow thm to reduce costs and increase investment, helping them to become world class operations.

And we are committed to increasing shareholder value through a clear growth strategy to build on our strengths as a market leader while continuing to drive down products costs to improve our bottom line profits.

But we recognize that our influence on the community extends well beyond the geographic spread of our stores, and we are equally committed to minimizing the impact we have on the environment.
