2023 was in many ways a historical year for global markets.

Each operating group continues to build its capabilities and is well positioned to best meet demand and to capitalise on market opportunities.
We continue to witness sharper strategic positioning and focus, better solutions for customers and stronger market share in targeted markets over the course of 2023.
