This year, in line with our corporate social responsibility policy, we have chosen to publish a compact report that will for the most part be made available online. The report provides a brief and informative outline of our national and international activities.
The past year was one of the most difficult years ever experienced by our industry. But, despite this, my colleagues on the Board of Management and I are able to look back on 2010 with satisfaction. We succeeded in realising a worldwide turnover of € 335 million. The net profit rose by over 60 per cent in comparison with 2009 to € 7.6 million. Our healthy solvency and liquidity position, combined with our new positioning and brand, form a strong basis for the future of our company.
I would like to thank all employees of Royal Haskoning. Their continued commitment to delivering solutions for the challenges our clients face is an important source of inspiration to us and the decisive factor in the success and sustainability of Royal Haskoning and that of our clients.
Erik Oostwegel
Chairman Board of Management
