Jo Maes, CEO Ordina, on the results

“Revenue and result both increased again in the third quarter. We realised the improvement in returns thanks to our focus on the added value of our services and higher productivity. This growth was largely driven by the increasing number of client contracts based on our five business propositions. Of these propositions, High performance teams and Data-driven delivered particularly strong performances.

In the Netherlands, we recorded continued growth in the public sector and financial services. In Belgium/Luxembourg, we delivered our strongest performances in the industry, financial services and healthcare sectors. The expansion of our operations in Wallonia also contributed to continuing growth.

On the labour market front, we have noted that Ordina is and remains attractive for talented people. The third quarter saw another increase in the number of direct employees. We also continue to score highly on the employee engagement front, with a score of 7.1. Despite this, retaining and attracting employees remains a top priority for Ordina, as this will enable us to continue to grow at the desired tempo.”
