Some people leave a company.
Others remain part of the story.
The IBL Retirees’ Circle brings together former colleagues who built friendships over decades of working together.
Today, years after retirement, they still meet regularly - not out of obligation but because those relationships still matter.

No two islands in the Indian Ocean are the same.

Across Réunion Island, Mauritius and Zanzibar, The Lux Collective is supporting initiatives linked to the needs of each destination - from protecting petrels and growing coral nurseries, to redistributing food, improving guest experiences, and helping women transform seaweed into natural products.

Featured in Guardians of the Indian Ocean, a 70-minute film by Mauritian director Asha Sumputh, these stories reflect something IBL values deeply: businesses that stay close to the places they are part of.

Last week, IBL Group was in Nairobi and Kigali for two major forums: Africa Forward and the Africa CEO Forum.

The events brought together businesses and decision-makers from Africa, Europe and the Indian Ocean, to discuss regional cooperation and investment as well as how to create stronger value chains and growth models grounded in local realities.

For IBL, these conversations speak directly to our Beyond Borders strategy. Regional growth is not simply about entering new markets - it requires an understanding of the contexts in which we operate, building trusted partnerships, and contributing to long-term solutions for the region.

With deep roots in Mauritius and a strong understanding of the Indian Ocean, IBL has a role to play in this wider regional conversation - working with partners to build platforms that respond to real needs.

The priority now is ex*****on: turning dialogue into real projects that create value for businesses, communities and the economies where we operate.

IBL delivered a solid financial performance for the nine months ended 31 March 2026.

Revenue grew 15.2% to Rs 94.8 billion, and operating profit increased by 25.4% to Rs 7.1 billion.

These results reflect the steady ex*****on of our Beyond Borders strategy and the continued momentum of our businesses across Mauritius, the Indian Ocean and East Africa in a complex environment.

Thank you to the teams, shareholders and partners who made this possible.

While Nairobi is still quiet at night, Naivas’ central bakery is already busy.

Ten years ago, Naivas took a bold step in transforming its bakery operations by establishing the Naivas Central Bakery. Today, the team produces over 15,000 loaves of bread daily through a 24-hour operation.

Moses Mugo, Head of Bakery at Naivas, takes us through the work that happens before products reach the shelves across around 56 stores in Nairobi — from night production to store orders and bakery essentials.

As one of Kenya’s leading supermarket chains, Naivas is part of IBL’s growth in East Africa. This short immersion brings us closer to the teams serving customers every day.

When Benoît Chevalier was in Mauritius recently, he joined a discussion with IBL leadership team around his book “Ce qu’attend l’Afrique, ressources locales, tensions mondiales”.

He shared a perspective shaped by 20+ years across the continent: each African market has its own trajectory, and long-term growth will depend less on external narratives than on local value creation, industrialisation, and ex*****on.

On the panel alongside Benoît were Preetee Jhamna, IBL's CFO Group Operations, and Yannis Fayd’herbe, COO of IBL's logistics activities, who work across multiple markets and see first-hand the opportunities, the trade-offs, and the need to adapt constantly.

For us at IBL, that’s exactly the balance we’re trying to strike as we invest, partner, and work across the region.

Not all journeys follow the expected path.

For Guillaume Alcindor, it meant leaving behind 12 years of office life to step into a completely new environment — one that challenged him, shaped him, and revealed strengths he didn’t know he had.

Today, in the control room at Cervonic, he navigates complexity with calm and precision, finding meaning in every challenge solved and every system running smoothly again.

Progress isn’t always about big leaps. Sometimes, it’s about showing up, learning every day, and moving forward; step by step.
