Business Model

GLOBAL MARKET LEADER

TRACK RECORD OF SHAREHOLDER VALUE CREATION

At the Group level, in the medium- to long-term we expect to deliver GDP+ organic revenue growth that is margin accretive and strongly cash generative. This will enable us to allocate our resources in a disciplined fashion, to create further value via carefully selected capital expenditure and M&A investments in high-margin and high-growth areas that in turn deliver further accelerated margin accretive revenue growth.

OUR STRATEGY

Companies are doing far more today to improve quality and safety than they were even five years ago, but there is much that needs to be done to establish a robust, reliable, end-to-end Total Quality Assurance approach that reduces risk. That is what we offer and will continue to bring our clients. Leveraging our broad service portfolio, our technical expertise and our global laboratory network to allow corporations to concentrate on their core value-generating activities.

Intertek has been the pioneer of the industry across the world for 130 years and we continue to be its chief innovator, constantly evolving and improving our service offering to customers to meet their changing needs.

Importantly, this entrepreneurial spirit is a fundamental aspect of our '5x5' differentiated strategy for growth. This strategy comprises five strategic priorities and five strategic enablers, targeted at the achievement of five corporate goals that help us measure progress.

Our earnings model supports our '5x5' differentiated strategy for growth, which aims to move the centre of gravity of the company towards high-growth, high-margin areas of the industry. Today, the Total Quality Assurance (TQA) solutions we deliver go beyond assuring the quality and safety of a corporation's physical components, products and assets to also look at the reliability of their operating processes and quality management systems.

Our TQA approach is fundamental to enabling our clients to operate safely and with complete peace of mind.
