Profitability throughout the entire economic cycle
We intend to grow profitably throughout the entire economic cycle. This is reflected in an adequate return on invested capital (ROIC) that is at least equal to our weighted average cost of capital. Thanks to our extraordinarily strong earnings position in the 2022 financial year, we clearly exceeded this target with a ROIC of 111.6%.
Growth in attractive markets and safeguarding of our position as a global player
We want to grow in attractive growth markets and consolidate our position as a global player with a market share of around 10% worldwide. To achieve this, we are investing in our vessel and container fleet and are simultaneously expanding our global presence with new office locations. By acquiring regional service providers, we are also able to quickly tap into new markets.
Global Player
Number one for quality
Differentiation by focusing on quality and customer satisfaction
Our ambition is nothing less than to become the number one for quality in our industry, because we firmly believe that service quality, reliability and adherence to schedules are decisive competitive factors. We want to further increase customer satisfaction by offering more added value and creating market-driven solutions for booking, monitoring and processing shipments.
Making climate-neutralshipping a reality – together
Climate change, diversity and social engagement are more important than ever before. We have thus expanded our Strategy 2023 by adding a fourth pillar: sustainability. In the coming years, we will gradually strengthen our sustainability contribution and make continuous improvements. The decarbonisation of our fleet by 2045 is one of our core objectives; we are working towards achieving it together with our customers, partners and competitors.
