Our business model

Our objective is to drive improving returns on capital as this is the ultimate generator of value for shareholders. To deliver on this objective, the group is continuously seeking growth opportunities in and adjacent to existing industries and geographies.

Our deep involvement in all aspects of the motor value chain provides Imperial with a competitive advantage in this market, while generating the cash needed to grow our operations.

Our business model is centred on generating cash in the motorrelated businesses to grow the logistics operations, while continually investigating opportunities to enrich our involvement in the motor value chain. The cash generated in our motor-related businesses allows us to take advantage of attractive opportunities within niche sectors of the logistics market in Europe and the fast growing economies in Africa.

When we acquire businesses, we maintain their entrepreneurial spirit and simultaneously mitigate the related acquisition risk by securing the existing management, often by retaining ongoing minority management shareholdings in those businesses. Our shareholder objectives and management incentives are closely aligned, and our businesses strive to achieve maximum efficiency in their industries.
