Shareholder Value—Approach
We are focused on maximizing total shareholder returns, generating above cost of capital returns, and driving year-over-year earnings per share growth. Our continued strong financial track record has positioned us to achieve our primary financial goal—creating significant value for our shareholders.
While our 2007 total shareholder return was good, we are far from satisfied. This is why we took action to address our business portfolio, invest in capital projects around the world, continue to build bonds with our customers, and develop technologies that will deliver customer benefits—and cash—to the bottom line.
In 2008, we will continue implementing our growth projects around the world, delivering continuous improvement, and serving our growing customer base with solutions that help them serve their customers. As in years past, our focus will be to deliver for today while also building for the future.
