FOREWORD FROM THE EXECUTIVE BOARD

Dear readers,

2021 was a record breaking year for us. We not only

managed to build on the success achieved in 2020, we

were also able to overcome the challenges associated

with the COVID-19 pandemic in an extremely demanding

environment, and to continue driving the transforma-

tion of our company forward. We would like to express

our sincere thanks to all those involved for this achieve-

ment and their contributions.

However, we should bear in mind that the next few

CHANGE WILL HELP US POSITION THE SEMPERIT

GROUP FOR

THE FUTURE AND TO

GRADUALLY SEE OUR VISIONS AND GOALS

COME TO FRUITION.

months will not be any less all-consuming. Whilst we have succeeded in continually developing as a company and setting some essential milestones, we are still a long way from reaching the end of our journey. External factors, such as the prevailing supply chain and logistics issues and the broader ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as geopolitical changes, will continue to keep us occupied and tie up resources. Our strategic objective to achieve the next phase of our company transformation by stepping up growth initia-tives (organic and inorganic) will also continue to present a challenge. Change is and will continue to be our constant companion going forward.

Change will help us position the Semperit Group for the future and to gradually see our visions and goals come to fruition. Alongside innovation, topics that will be at the forefront here are safety in the workplace and digi-tisation. Our focus will also be on increasing our attractiveness as an employer, stepping up our talent management activities and ensuring that the issue of sustainability is firmly anchored in our DNA. Semperit is a company rich in tradition with an excellent reputa-tion and a strong brand, something we not only want to maintain, but also to continue putting our weight behind and pushing forward. It is important to face the coming changes and requirements head on and with new ideas, whilst creating an environment that enables us to continually develop as people and as a brand in order for us to gain a sustainable foothold in the market in the long term.
