Our business model

We have a simple and self-sustaining financial model which supports investment in our growth strategy and our scalable organisational model, underpinned by Halma’s DNA. It delivers strong performance in both the short and longer term.

This is how we do it:

We are structured for growth

Our structure is simple and lean, with only three layers - companies, sectors and Group executives and teams – all three of which are focused and rewarded on driving growth. This allows for fast decision-making, and minimises bureaucracy. 

We have a sustainable financial model

Our purpose and strategy define the markets we operate in, and our focus on growing and acquiring businesses in global niches in the safety, environmental and health markets.

Our choice of markets results in a highly sustainable financial model: strong organic growth and cash generation allow us to reinvest in future growth and acquisitions.

We support our companies through our Growth Enablers

Our Growth Enablers support our companies in delivering our growth strategy. These seven Growth Enablers leverage a unique set of skills and expertise from across the Group, powered and co-ordinated by small central teams.

We measure our achievements and reward performance

We measure our achievements through financial and non-financial performance indicators (KPIs), and through customer satisfaction and the delivery of shareholder value.
