With our business activities, we transform into value the different types of capital used by our operations. These include financial, human, natural, social, intellectual, and operating capital.

To define the net value we deliver to our surroundings, we have made the decision to measure our positive and negative impact using a tool called the Value Added Statement (VAS).

Retained benefit = EBITDA – income tax – financial expenses – dividends paid.
Figures in USD Million.

This provides us with a comprehensive picture of how we retain, add or reduce value, and provides us with useful information that allows us to:

  • Make more responsible and better informed decisions.
  • Manage risks with greater certainty.
  • Be transparent with our stakeholders.
