Value-Based Management and Strategy: The Perfect Synergy

Marico's success highlights the powerful interplay between value-based management and strategic decision-making. By aligning its corporate purpose with stakeholder needs and ESG principles, the company creates a shared value proposition that benefits all. Value-based management guides strategic decisions toward initiatives that benefit not just financial returns but also social and environmental well-being. This long-term perspective ensures sustainability and builds resilience against short-term pressures.

For instance, Marico's investment in water harvesting aligns with its environmental goals and also reduces dependence on external water sources, mitigating risks and ensuring long-term operational efficiency. Similarly, its focus on responsible sourcing not only benefits communities but also secures a reliable supply chain, enhancing business continuity.

 Innovation with Purpose:




 Sustainability Driving Efficiency:


Marico's EV/EBITDA of 31.0x means that investors are willing to pay 31 times Marico's annual EBITDA for each share of its stock. The company average of 21.3x suggests that the industrial average is valued at 21.3 times its annual EBITDA. (Source: Bloomberg) Marico's EV/Revenue ratio of 6.4x is higher than the FMCG company average of 4.5x. This highlights the investor confidence in Marico's ability to expand its revenue base and generate future sales growth.

Investors expect Marico to have higher future profitability than its peers in the FMCG industry. This could be due to factors like:

·        Strong brand recognition and market share in growing segments.

·        Consistent track record of financial performance and innovation.

 ·        Potential for expansion into new markets or product categories.
