Scaling Business with Local Communities: A Case Study of Inclusive Models

Collaborative Growth

IAL’s growth strategy is built on inclusive business models integrating local communities into its value chain. The company supports thousands of Zimbabwean livelihoods by sourcing 61% of its procurement spend locally.

  • Agricultural Collaborations: Irvine’s poultry operations relied entirely on local out-growers, while Profeeds’ initiatives reached 230,000 small-scale farmers.
  • Empowering Women Entrepreneurs: Baker’s Inn container shops are predominantly managed by women, promoting gender equality and economic empowerment.

Impact of Inclusive Business on Rural Economies

These initiatives stimulate rural economies, ensuring that growth extends beyond urban centers. Programs such as “Empower Tomorrow” target underserved communities, providing resources and skills for sustainable development.
