1. Maintain world-class technical expertise, continue to build on this expertise, and expand into other sectors.

We have world-class expertise in some of our sectors of activity and are constantly looking to enhance the expertise we have in all our sectors. Over the next 10 years, we would like to increase, perhaps even double, the number of sectors in which we have achieved world-class recognition.

2. Develop well-established engineering bases in several key geographic areas.

Our management philosophy is based on distributed leadership, which allows our offices around the world to take the initiative in developing and expanding their operations based on economic developments in their respective regions. In 2006, we increased our international presence in this way on virtually every continent, and we continue to look for good growth opportunities around the world.

3. Continue to invest in infrastructure concessions.

The combination of our technical expertise and our global financing abilities positions us well for future infrastructure concession investment opportunities.
