Mission Statement & Strategy

Our mission

making infrastructure happen

The John Laing mission is to succeed globally as a leading sponsor of privately financed investment in infrastructure through our expertise in creating sustainable value for all stakeholders.

We will achieve this by enabling and organising winning partnerships to deliver innovative development solutions with the public sector which operate for the benefit of communities world-wide.

Our strategy

We are a long-term investor, developer and operator of facilities and serviced assets and will usually take a position of between 50% and 100% of total equity in each project. Although we rarely seek to fully exit from significant operational investments, we may reduce our holding in a project once the early phases of risk management and delivery have been successfully completed. Non-core interests are disposed of as the opportunity arises.

Our strategy is to deliver predictable investment returns and consistent growth in the value of our investment portfolio. This is achieved through the active approach we take to managing all of our projects, and the strong relations that are built and maintained with our public sector customers and the end users.
