Strategic focus areas

Pursuing growth with prudence

SCL has grown over the years with a vision ‘To provide foundations for society’s future.’ In pursuing this vision, we have operated with a dynamic strategy, based on three focus areas, and a commitment to responsible business conduct with an emphasis on ESG integration. These focus areas are further supported by four core enablers that propel us forward.
