Navigate – Gränges’ strategy for long-term sustainable growth

The Navigate strategy is based on three parts – restore, build and invest – where the long-term target is sustainable growth. It is about continuing to build the company based on Gränges’ business model. People and sustainability, areas where Gränges believes it outperforms most other companies in the industry, are at the core of the strategy.

Gränges has had many years of strong value creation. However, the positive trend was broken in 2019, and following the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 the return on capital employed declined below the cost of capital. This called for action and a new strategy that would bring the company back to a solid long-term performance. And thus, the Navigate plan was born. The Navigate strategy is based on three parts – restore, build and invest – where the long-term target is sustainable growth.
