Group structure
Subsidiary table records legal holding routes. PT Perusahaan Industri Ceres, PT General Food Industries and PT Nirwana Lestari each have a direct holding plus a minority holding through wholly owned McKeeson; these reconcile to 100% effective Group ownership, and duplicate routes are merged.
Delfi Yuraku is a 60%-owned joint venture rather than a subsidiary because unanimous board consent is required. PT Delfi Yuraku Indonesia is disclosed under joint ventures; its 99.9% immediate legal holding is not the effective Group percentage, which the report explicitly states as 60% including a separate 0.1% holding.
