In FY2024, we strengthened our core businesses, delivering solid results and reaping the benefits of our strategic focus on the Drive Growth pillar. This year’s Annual Report theme highlights our pursuit of new growth engines as we venture into new development sectors such as industrial buildings—logistics, data centres and manufacturing facilities—and international expansions to the United Kingdom and Indonesia. These strategic moves position us for robust growth and reinforce our position as a Group built on synergistic partnerships, shared values and a unified vision.

Our people are the heart and soul of IJM, their dedication, professionalism and unyielding spirit have led to the success we celebrate today.

We pay tribute to our visionary past leaders and pioneers who laid the foundation for IJM's remarkable 40-year journey. Their foresight, determination and unwavering commitment have propelled us to where we stand today, shaping our corporate culture.

To all IJMers, past and present, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your outstanding contributions and enduring impact on IJM's growth and reputation.

The business dynamic has changed dramatically, and we cannot be using existing business models and transposing them onto the future. It is time to reimagine newer solutions for a tomorrow that is full of exciting possibilities and opportunities. It is also time to refocus our business, by viewing it through a more holistic lens, and be open to new perspectives. To arrive here, we have to revitalise the way we think, plan and act.

Our theme this year is one that embraces change, reflecting on the past and daring to dream as we position ourselves for greater good.

IJM prides itself on being resourceful, progressive and responsible, corporate traits that resonate in this year’s Annual Report theme: Delivering Today, Building Tomorrow. This outlook reflects our consistency as a profitable Group that has the tenacity to ride through economic storms.

The financial year ended 31 March 2020 provided an opportune time for IJM Corporation Berhad to take stock of its business and adjust to an ever fluid marketplace. The resilience we built over the years is fortified by our ability to capture opportunities in the wake of challenges that come our way.

Leveraging on IJM’s core strengths, we are jumpstarting a dynamic future by delivering inspired solutions in the way we do our business. This is spearheaded by Group-wide digitalisation initiatives, focus on uplifting the potential of our human resource, and a brand rejuvenation exercise. We are harnessing our people’s new ideas, new thinking and energised approach to execute innovative strategies and solutions that will keep us in the lead in a changing marketplace.
