Economic Sustainability

Value-based economic performance is the foundation for sustainable development. All divisions operate in attractive markets and have high value-creation potential due to their leading market positions.
Economic Targets and Achivements

    • Sulzer’s prime economic objective is sustainable value creation. The corporation applies three key measures of financial performance: return on sales (ROS), return on capital employed (ROCE) and organic growth in sales.
    • In 2008, Sulzer achieved a very good performance with a ROS of 12.8%, a ROCE of 30.6% and sales growth of 5.0%. The current general economic environment and the uncertainties in the financial markets make forward projections challenging.

Economic indicators can be found int the Sulzer Annual Report: www.sulzer.com/AR08
