Charter and Values
As a business and corporate citizen we are committed to the national agenda of South Africa. This includes:
- The pursuit of employment equity throughout our organisation;
- The economic empowerment of all sectors of our society; and
- The facilitation of growth of direct investment into our country.
In order to meet the expectations of our international markets and investors we benchmark our performance and delivery against world class industry standards, while conducting our business in terms of best practice governance standards.
Rebuilding Murray & Roberts was a change process that commenced on 1 July 2000. At its heart was a non-negotiable commitment to sustainable earnings growth and value creation. Through this process we committed to world class fulfillment in the construction economy as our core market, enhanced our core skill in engineering and our core capability in contracting, and leveraged our value proposition through our core competence in industrial design.
Globalising Murray & Roberts was a growth strategy that sought new opportunity and value from the platform created over more than 100 years since 1902. We identified global best-in-class benchmarks against which we measure our performance in engaging our chosen natural resources and regional markets.
Reframing Murray & Roberts will ensure stability and performance between 2009 and 2014 as the Group introduces new leadership capacity and builds greater critical mass against the backdrop of changed economic and market conditions brought on by the global economic crisis.
