Strategy

Intelligent growth
with Green and Lean.

PORR is focussing on its core competence, the construction business. Our business partners benefit from our holistic expertise and our services as a full-service provider.

The transformation in our industry and our environment requires flexible, resource-conscious and customer-orientated action. This is why we are focussing on intelligent growth with "Green and Lean" , particularly in those markets where there is an increasing demand for holistic construction solutions. The opportunities arising from global megatrends and sustainability requirements are guiding us on this path. We also want to achieve profitable growth in the coming years and are focussing on four strategic pillars.

Strategy & Growth

Our company
our home.

Our aim is to provide first-class solutions in construction and technology. PORR expects its markets to grow in the long term. The goal is to secure leading market positions in the long term by strengthening in-house construction value creation and holistic solutions as a general and total contractor. PORR is selectively expanding its existing service portfolio through targeted, value-generating acquisitions. This secures strategic benefits in a challenging environment. Selective orders promote an order backlog with good profitability. We are not only interested in growth. Above all, we want to be resilient and strive for sustainable profitability. A strong equity and liquidity position strengthens us in this respect.

People & Principles

Our employees
our culture.

We live our corporate culture - we want everyone to feel this, whether they are employees, partners or shareholders. Our five principles - reliability, shoulder to shoulder, appreciation, pioneering spirit and passion - unlock internal potential and increasingly promote innovative thinking and short decision-making processes. Securing skilled labour and talent in the long term remains our priority. With our own PORR Academy and start-up solutions in the e-learning sector, we want to promote our strength from within our own ranks. We live diversity, equal opportunities and performance and are convinced that these are decisive success factors.

Smart Construction

Our Lean
our efficiency.

The more complex our projects are, the leaner we want to be. As a technology pioneer, PORR is increasingly utilising networked and innovative solutions in planning and construction. In this way, it is actively driving forward the development of digital future topics. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the costs incurred and thus increase profitability.

Green by PORR

Our ESG
Our responsibility.

Sustainability is a key concern for us along the entire construction value chain. To this end, we see it as an opportunity and not a contradiction. Our goal is to be the market leader for resource-conscious, recyclable construction. The building blocks for this are not only topics such as energy- and cost-efficient construction, but also the circular economy. To increase synergies for climate protection across the entire Group, PORR rolled out the Green programme in autumn 2021. We also fulfil our social and economic responsibility through various initiatives and measures. Ethical, fair and transparent behaviour is not only in line with our corporate principles, but also means stability in times of change and responsible corporate governance. Legally compliant and transparent behaviour is a top priority at PORR. This is the only way to build trust with stakeholders and practise responsible business practices.

New strategy

Green and Lean
a strategy for the future.

Climate change and digitalisation are the two most important challenges of this decade. For us as a company and for us as a society. Climate change is an existential risk, but together with digitalisation it also offers our generation great opportunities. In the EU (Green Deal), in the USA (Climate Plan), in China (14th Five-Year Plan) and globally (Paris Agreement), a reorientation of the economy towards ecological goals has already been established. As one of Europe's leading construction companies, we want to play an active role in shaping this change. Because we build change.

PORR has existed for over 150 years, and innovation and diversity have always been the building blocks of our success. And this will continue to be the case. We have developed the new "Green and Lean" strategy based on our experience, the enormous knowledge within the company and the challenges of the future. It represents the next step into the future.

What these words "Green and Lean" mean in concrete terms:

  • We will change the way we build.
  • We will think holistically in terms of a circular economy.
  • And we will act lean - both in our management approaches and operationally with Lean Design and Construction.
