Boosting Benefits

“Synergy. This is the spirit of an organization that sees cooperative interaction as the ideal path to balance, productivity, and surpassing the high levels of performance it sets for itself”

We need to complement, contribute and strengthen each other to meet the expectations of those who have entrusted us with realizing their dreams in an integrated and qualified way.

To do so, we must to know each other and share our daily challenges and learnings. That way, we will be more and more in sync and consolidate that cohesion.

In short, it is key for unity to make the difference. To leverage expertise. To boost development. To signify growth, both individual and collective.

That’s synergy. In an entrepreneurial organization like Odebrecht, it can be everything, because it can mean people making the most of their creative and transformative potential with a level of motivation that exceeds their highest expectations. Because it can mean achieving client satisfaction in a way they may never have imagined.

In 2012, synergistic business operations accounted for 6% of the Odebrecht Group’s earnings and 38% of all its investments.

In the pages of this issue of Odebrecht Informa, you will find inspiring stories of the joint efforts of the organization’s companies and teams working in the same venture or environment. You will see how complementary skills can make previously unattainable goals become the purest, most concrete reality. You will attest to how special it is to strive to ensure that the star of all the company’s initiatives – the client – is serviced with the same high standards and quality to meet all their needs.

From the harmony among the teams in the units of Odebrecht Agroindustrial (Agroindustry) to the integrated operations of several companies in Venezuela; from the exchange of experiences and knowledge among the professionals involved in hydropower projects in Brazil and Peru to the strong interaction between communities and projects in Angola, in the following pages you will have a chance to better understand why Odebrecht members take great pleasure and express conviction when saying that they work for a Group, “with the Group.” They know that they spend their daily lives in a broad, multifaceted and complex whole that is connected by a single culture and focused on getting the best possible results.

Synergy. This is the spirit of an organization that sees cooperative interaction as the ideal path to balance, productivity, and surpassing the high levels of performance it sets for itself.
