Vision Statement

​

It is the intention of the company's directors and shareholders to see the group build on its existing core businesses within Papua New Guinea. Whilst there are and will always be, periods of political instability and doubt as to the ability of the country to develop; the diverse makeup of its people and the nature of the resource base, we believe, are a recipe for success. The makeup of our organisation gives us the flexibility required to adjust to these trends.
