STRATEGIC FOCUS AREA
UNLOCKING VALUE
SYNERGIES
Unlocking value synergies focuses primarily on reaping the benefits
of shared corporate functions and operational efficiencies across
the group.
Objectives
� Identify the untapped benefits of shared corporate functions
and operational efficiencies, by means of co-ordination between
business units, joint ventures and corporate support divisions
across the group.
� Unlock the benefits of shared corporate functions and operational
efficiencies to the benefit of the Senwes Group.
Reflecting on the progress to date
All business units, subsidiaries, joint ventures and corporate
support divisions in the group have been tasked
anew with driving improved integration amongst
themselves in order to identify synergies and operational
efficiencies that have not been utilised as yet and to
unlock the benefits thereof across the group.
Establishing a Commodity Execution unit to enhance
co-operation and integration of the grain business chain.

Looking ahead

tapped into and utilised fully across the Senwes Group.
