Word from the CEO
“2019 was a mixed year for the Group. We managed to realise double-digit turnover growth of which nearly 5% was organic, but unfavourable developments in some of our key markets in the second half of the year together with the logistical constraints in the first half, had a significant effect on our results.
In parallel, we further invested in our digital and operational infrastructure, focused on leveraging our positions in key growth markets, and continued to execute our M&A strategy in selected niche markets. In 2019, we identified a number of strategic initiatives to support our future years growth strategy allowing us to meet changing market conditions.”
Business priorities
Supporting our strategy
In executing our strategy, we are committed to three business priorities that support long term value creation for al our stakeholders. The principles per business priority and progress we made during 2019 are presented in the report of the Executive Board.
