ABENGOA We are a leading company
We are a leading innovative company, with a clear forward-looking vision and
a global focus
Abengoa is a leader because …
1.We innovate and take risks
Innovation demands determination in order to adapt to
our changing world: the greatest risk lies in not taking
any risks at all
We are excited by the prospect of new discoveries and
interests (bioethanol, solar-thermal, reformed-based
technology, hydrogen, etc.)
2.We have a clear forward-looking vision
We are aware of our strengths, weaknesses, values and
view of the world
We align people whose involvement we need in order to
make our business project a reality: our course and direction
must be communicated verbally and through actions
We motivate and inspire: instilling people with drive and
transmitting energy are essential in overcoming obstacles
We create change, often drastic (Biofuels vs fossil fuels)
3.Our focus is a global one: the entire world is our home 14
