We are South African
This statement is now embedded in the concepts,
metaphors and vocabulary developed around Rebuilding
Murray & Roberts. It has defined more clearly,
the agenda with which we will finalise this first
phase of our journey through the next 100 years
of our being. It sets a challenge not only for how
we embrace our national and business environment,
but also how we engage the global investor community.
Murray & Roberts is a strong brand with a rich
history and a promise of sustainable value creation.
We offer our core competence and expertise to implement
major project solutions into the developing economies
of the world and, combined with our South African
competitiveness, to supply engineered products under
contract into the developed economies of the world,
leveraging global partnerships as appropriate.
To prosper within our chosen markets we must exist
as an integral and seamless element within each
market. We must be legitimate. The various dimensions
of our business environment have numerous criteria
that will determine our legitimacy.
South Africa
To our stakeholders in South Africa, legitimacy
will increasingly be measured by our visible commitment
to the national agenda, including:
•
the
pursuit of employment equity throughout our
organisation.
•
the economic empowerment
of all sectors of society.
•
our capacity to
facilitate growth of direct investment into
the economy.
International
To our international stakeholders, legitimacy
will be measured more by the manner in which we
deliver on our performance promise, including:
•
our
financial performance measured in US Dollars
against global benchmark.
•
our delivery performance measured against
specified competitive criteria.
•
the governance framework
defining best business practice.
To be South African in a global
context precludes
too narrow a business focus, demands a clear
common purpose, requires domicile in South Africa
as the primary market, with a strong reach
into those areas of the global economy where the
reward is appropriate to the risk involved
