Halma’s DNA runs through our business at all levels. It embodies the core elements of our organisation and culture that are inextricably linked to enable our success. Even though we have to continuously change, these core elements remain constant.
Halma Organisational Genes
These are the core elements of our business structure and they have proved themselves to be fundamental drivers in delivering consistent, long-term growth. They describe what we will protect while we continuously transform ourselves.
Purpose drives us
Our purpose powers every business decision we make, from choosing our markets to finding the right talent.
Agility is everything
We are built to be responsive. Individual businesses make decisions close to our customers. We manage our portfolio to respond rapidly when market dynamics change.
We bet on talent
We insist on exceptional leaders who are empowered and accountable to set strategy and grow their own businesses. Diverse viewpoints on every team help to ensure we don't miss a thing.
We are global niche specialists
We are disciplined in targeting high return, global niches in markets with long-term growth drivers. We innovate with cutting-edge technology in these niches using our deep application knowledge.
We invest for the future
Our diverse portfolio allows us to take a long-term view and means we can continue to innovate for the future regardless of individual short-term market conditions.
We are structured for growth
Individual businesses within the Group have access to our internal and external networks, enabling us to go faster by learning from the experiences of others. Central expertise and capital are available to accelerate organic growth, which in turn allows us to continue to acquire additional growth and capabilities.
Halma’s cultural genes
These are the unique cultural and behavioural principles that we require, protect and leverage to effectively optimise our organisational genes and deliver our purpose.
Live the purpose
Be passionate about making the world safer, cleaner, and healthier. See real problems and create innovative solutions.
Embrace the adventure
Continually grow and change, as individuals and collectively. Challenge assumptions and see opportunities. Seek insight from all directions and leverage diverse points of view.
Be an entrepreneur
Be an owner, risk-taker, visionary. Transform bold ambitions into reality. Be agile and responsive in the face of constant change. Be successful through and with others.
Say Yes, and...
Be comfortable with paradox. Choose Yes, and... to seemingly conflicting priorities. Build for tomorrow and deliver today. Have stability and constantly evolve. Enjoy autonomy and eagerly collaborate to accomplish our goals.
Just be a good person
Play to win, but not at the expense of others. Operate with impeccable ethics, transparency and integrity in all that you do.
Our business model is simple. It is driven by our strategy and supported by our DNA. It is focused on sustaining our companies’ growth and returns over the long term, while delivering strong performance in the short term.
