In 2022 – in addition to the pillars "Strengthening the Portfolio Structure," "Driving Innovation," and "Improving Performance" – "Striving for Sustainability" will be established as a fourth strategic initiative. The INDUS Sustainability Promotion Bank will support sustainability activities in the Group with immediate effect. The goal of climate neutrality by 2045 remains constantly in view. Further acquisitions are driving growth in the successful segments of Construction/Infrastructure and Engineering.

2023
Sharpening of strategy and clear focus on industrial technology
The focus of the portfolio on future topics is being driven forward with the strategy update 'PARKOUR perform'. The focus is on the three new segments ENGINEERING, INFRASTRUCTURE and MATERIALS: INDUS is thus concentrating on its strengths – on industrial technology companies with a clear technology focus. Automotive Technology and Medical Engineering/Life Science will be dissolved as segments. The Group's management is also realigning itself with segment management: In the future, one member of the Executive Board will be responsible for one segment. Free cash flow will become an important control parameter. The INDUS credo of 'buy, hold & develop' is paying off in terms of further growth: sales in excess of EUR 2 billion and an EBIT margin in excess of 10% are the clear targets by 2025.
