Based on many years of experience, the Group has built up comprehensive capabilities for its differentiated and scalable range of services. Its portfolio mix of sought-after real estate and infrastructure services enables sustainably profitable growth. By combining organic and inorganic growth, backed by an asset-light strategy, the Group is also tapping into innovative, high-margin business areas.
