Introduction

"What gives me great pride and joy is neither our market capitalisation nor our ranking among the top 100 companies in the world, but rather, our loyal, dedicated and innovative management team who have shown outstanding performance and great leadership skills, and a group of well-trained, ambitious, hardworking staff who work so well individually and collectively. Our employees are our Group's greatest asset. Regardless of nationality, as long as a person shows good performance and is loyal to the company, he or she will be considered a member of our family, for better or for worse, and without exception. This is a long-term, fundamental policy which applies to all the countries where we have operations. That is why I feel that our businesses and prospects will transcend national borders."
