Craig Cooper, the general counsel and executive vice president of The Wonderful Company, is set to speak at the upcoming 2025 Fiji Institute of Chartered Accountants Annual Congress. With over 22 years at the company, which boasts a $6 billion global operation employing around 10,000 individuals, Cooper will provide insights into the company’s business in Fiji and future investment plans.
Cooper emphasizes the substantial impact of The Wonderful Company, particularly through its product FIJI Water, on various sectors including shipping services, which have become more reliable and cost-effective for Fiji. He expresses enthusiasm about participating in the conference, viewing it as an invaluable opportunity to network with accounting professionals and engage in vital discussions surrounding Fiji’s economic prospects.
The congress, running from June 6-7 in Nadi, aligns with its theme, “Shaping Fiji for Tomorrow’s Challenges and Opportunities,” focusing on navigating the complexities posed by global economic changes, including recent U.S. tariff policies. These challenges highlight the importance of resilience and robust business fundamentals, a sentiment echoed in similar recent discussions during the congress’s promotion and previous execution events that also stress sustainable growth.
Cooper’s participation echoes the ongoing commitment of The Wonderful Company to contribute positively to the Fijian economy, and he looks forward to sharing updates about both the business and its philanthropic efforts in the region.
This engagement underscores a proactive approach by local and international businesses to foster an environment of collaboration and innovation, ultimately aiming to ensure sustainable development and resilience in Fiji’s economic landscape.
