The strategic focus of DT Group is primarily to develop value-creating services and to make the overall logistics chain of the building materials industry more efficient. The existing strategic plan was approved in late 2001 and is divided into three parts: value creation, efficiency and managed growth.

DT Group’s strategic plan contains a number of goals and targets for the Group’s further growth and development. The overall goal is growth for the shareholders – not just for the sake of growth.

The strategy is formulated in four clear targets, which are defined in plans 10, 20a, 20b and 45. Together with the key focus areas of value creation, synergy and managed growth, the targets are to establish a clear and uniform basis for development and change.

Plan 10
All growth is based on value creation. The Group is to find managed and focused growth partly on new geographic markets around the Baltic Sea rim, partly in new types of stores and finally in development of the product range and customer base.

Plans 20a and 20b
Here we are working to reach a return on capital employed of not less than 20% before tax and goodwill for all enterprises and an adjusted operating profit of at least 20% of gross profit for each enterprise.

Plan 45
Under this plan, the staff costs of each enterprise may not exceed 45% of gross profit. You can find a detailed description of the Group’s strategy in the latest annual report.
