At Murphy, we are a values-led business with a consistent, clear and concise strategy to achieve both our purpose and our vision. We take a disciplined approach to doing the basics consistently well and through operational excellence, we deliver value for our customers, forming win-win relationships which give a fair capital return. This return enables ongoing development of our people, creates a great place to work where everyone can feel secure and comfortable to be themselves, and supports increasing levels of social value in all of the communities in which we have a presence. We have a well-embedded safety culture, are always looking to improve, and are committed to tackling climate change and achieving our pathway to net zero. Through our direct delivery model, supported by a trusted supply chain, we enable our customers to achieve their business objectives by increasing capacity, improving customer service, providing resilience and delivering increased efficiency whilst being a safe and sustainable company. We achieve this by focusing on our key customers whose delivery business plans are underpinned by strategic national needs, regulatory commitments, legislation or essential performance requirements. And our people are at the core of everything we do.
A strong balance sheet and a long-term, profitable workload with trusted customers enable us to make the best decisions for our business. Robust governance processes, targeted contract selection and delivery excellence support our framework for future growth. With a proven track record of delivery, we continue to focus on our three geographies of the UK, Ireland and North America, and the strategic sectors of transportation, natural resources, power and water. Our delivery teams are supported by an expanding Investments team. We are passionate about our direct delivery offering and the benefits it brings to our customers. Internal delivery capabilities include our extensive plant business, ground engineering, electrical services, process engineering, bridge fabrication, urban infrastructure, utility connections, specialist welding, design and wider engineering, and digital support – all of which support our front-line teams in delivering world-class infrastructure.
In meeting the challenges and needs of a fast-changing world and the markets in which we operate, we are continuing to develop at pace our in-house Engineering, Murphy Applied Engineering and Digital expertise. These embrace innovative ways of working and support our delivery to harness greater efficiency, sustainable delivery and enhanced net zero construction, across the project and asset lifecycle. By harnessing this approach, we not only offer significant value-add options but make our operations safer and give greater delivery certainty.
