IJM

Corporate Objectives
To achieve leadership in any industry takes more than just making use of a corporation's vast financial resources and size. It also takes vision, daring and a strong sense of purpose. And these are the hallmarks of IJM Corporation - one of the largest building and construction firms in Malaysia.

Building for the future, IJM aims to continue breaking new grounds for progress. This would include its thrust into the international arena to be a major force in building and construction, and further diversification into related industries that will provide all-round support for the Group's core business.

Continual development of teamwork among staff and associates, too, will be pursued with new vitality.

These aspirations will be founded on 3 well entrenched objectives envisioned by the founders:

PROFITABILITY

The cyclical nature of the Group's core business requires that constant attention be given to the inherent peaks and troughs in the business cycle. Sustained long term profitability, therefore, is the essence of continued corporate existence for IJM. It is a factor that must be considered in the planning of all corporate strategies.

PERFORMANCE

Apart from price, a client's main criteria in awarding contracts to the Group would be its reputation for performance. Performance includes, among others, the ability to complete jobs on schedule and within budgeted costs, with no compromise on high quality of workmanship.

PEOPLE
People make the Organization. A dynamic and professional workforce is the personification of a dynamic corporate entity. In return, the workforce looks for a caring and innovative organization to cater to their individual aspirations. IJM must provide a conducive environment in order for such professionalism and dynamism to thrive.

The Mark Of Excellence
Success stories are about people. And it is the employees of IJM who have demonstrated that "Excellence Through Quality" is more than just a motto, it is the Group's philosophy.
This philosophy reaffirms IJM's commitment to quality products and services. At IJM it is the employees, as much as the products they create and sell, that make the difference. They provide the ultimate long-term competitive advantage, as IJM considers all its employees as key people. An innovative, enlightened management style, together with a pro-active, hands-on management approach at all levels, allows the Group to continually maintain and enhance high standards in work performance. More important, IJM people strongly believe in the shared destiny of the company and its employees.
Constant training, workshops and seminars keep this standard of excellence sharpened and honed.
In 1996, IJM was awarded the internationally recognised ISO Quality Management Systems certification standard "for Provision of Construction Services in Building and Civil Engineering Works", testimony of living up to its motto "Excellence Through Quality". Since then, many of IJM's subsidiaries have been similarly certified.
With the emphasis on safety in the construction sector, both locally and internationally, IJM enrolled in the OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) Pilot Program conducted by SIRIM QAS Sdn Bhd in 1999. Through the commitment and untiring efforts of the management and staff, IJM became the first construction company in Malaysia to be awarded the OHSAS 18001 certification in 2000, true to its Safety Motto of "Health, Safety and Environment Is Everyone's Responsibility".
Besides achieving the OHSAS 18001 Certification, IJM has gone a step further by developing the IJM Quality and Safety Assessment System or IQSAS. IQSAS is self-regulatory and ensures that higher standards of quality and safety are achieved through a culture of entrenched discipline in routine work methods and processes in all IJM's construction projects.
With steadfast commitment in the implementation of international quality and safety standards, IJM has taken a step forward in stamping the "Mark of Excellence" on all its products and services.

Corporate Profile
“... Steady growth, uninterrupted profitability and a very international business defines IJM today ...”
n 1984, three enterprising local construction companies – IGB Construction Sdn Bhd, Jurutama Sdn Bhd and Mudajaya Sdn Bhd – merged in a bid to compete more effectively against bigger foreign rivals.The result was IJM – a professionally managed construction group that gained immediate market acceptance, and had the financial capacity to compete effectively against established foreign players.

Since then, IJM has grown in reputation and renown internationally. Its excellent track record is accredited with numerous awards. Recent ones include the Malaysian International Contractor of the Year Award (2000), the Malaysian Builder of the Year Award (2001), the Project Award 2003 (Major Building Category) and the Excellence Award for Export of Services (2003) by the Malaysian International Trade and Industry Ministry. The Company’s excellent reputation for professionalism, performance and good governance also saw it being conferred the inaugural Malaysian Business Corporate Governance Award in 2002, and the KLSE Corporate Merit Award (Construction Sector) in 2002 and 2003.

IJM’s exponential growth over the past two decades is the result of its focus on core competencies, diversifying into related businesses and expanding into new markets. Leveraging on its intrinsic construction expertise, IJM soon ventured into property development and successfully merged its resources to offer quality delivery at great value to the Malaysian market. Today, Property Development is a major part of the Group’s activities.

The demand for building materials fueled further growth. IJM forged another stronghold by creating its Industries Division; expanding internal operations such as manufacturing of concrete products and quarrying into core activities focused on demand outside the Group. It continues to expand its operations in this sector with strategic acquisitions such as the recent takeover of Industrial Concrete Products Berhad.

The Group showed great foresight by venturing into plantations in 1985 as a source of steady income to cushion the cyclical nature of construction business. This investment has since paid off handsomely. Now listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Malaysia), IJM Plantations Berhad has contributed significantly to the Group’s earnings over the years and also helped cushion the Group’s earnings during difficult times such as the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis.

Leveraging again on its construction expertise, the Group targeted infrastructure investments to build long-term recurrent income streams. Initial attempts for breakthrough in Malaysia proved difficult and, thus, an overseas focus was then chosen.

It’s involvement in overseas infrastructure privatisation (Build-Operate-Transfer) schemes proved tremendously successful. These include investments in major infrastructure projects such as Guangdong Provincial Expressway in China, Western Access Tollway in Argentina, Swarna and Rewa tolled highway in India, and Binh An Water water treatment concession in Vietnam.

With several concessions under construction in India and, for the first time, an opportunity to participate in Malaysian toll roads, the infrastructure concession business is set to become a major part of the Group’s future operations.

IJM went public in 1986 with a market capitalisation of RM66 million and total assets of RM172 million. As at 31 March 2006, the Group’s market capitalisation and total assets stood at RM2.45 billion and RM4.12billion respectively.
Steady growth, uninterrupted profitability and a very international business defines IJM today. More importantly, an excellent reputation for professionalism, performance and good governance is the trademark of the Group.

With the implementation of the EMP, feedback on compliance and progress are provided to contractors and the relevant authorities to ensure that immediate necessary action is taken when non-compliance report has been filed.

• integrated pest management,
• soil conditioning and enrichment, and
• the zero-burning approach.
The Quality, Training and Research Centre of IJM's Plantations Division constantly monitors the effectiveness of implementation, compliance and the development of new practices to enhance the environment management practices in all its oil palm plantations.
