To reduce its risk exposure, BESIX has been diversifying its activities on a geographical and sectoral level, through organic growth, acquisitions or shareholdings. The group’s expansion in the Middle East, where it has built an impressive portfolio over the last 60 years, and more recently in Africa and Australia, illustrates the success of this strategy. Through its many projects and initiatives, BESIX is constantly seeking to consolidate its purpose: “To excel in creating sustainable solutions for a better world.” Find out more: www.besix.com
