The first Global Meeting of GD Energy Services was held in Valencia on the 24^th and 25^th of November. It involved more than thirty-nine people from our business group with a high level of responsibility, as well as partners from different companies such as: GDES Wind, GDES Erba, GDES Lineman and Innomerics.

An annual meeting that focused on the presentation of the 2017 budgets and on a reflection on the future of the Group: the analysis of the business perspective, goals and opportunities of each country in which GDES is present. An excellent opportunity to meet the leaders who manage the GDES business in each country, fostering the spirit of collaboration of the different geographical areas.

Internationalization has been revealed as one of the bases of growth of GDES. As a strategic objective, a potential growth plan was presented in which opportunities were created that would allow us to grow exponentially beyond our borders. ‘In order for these objectives to be met, it is important that we be united and well coordinated,’ said the CEO of the Group, Héctor Dominguis.

We add value to provide energy to the world

To achieve the principles of cohesion and unity, the Group Meeting 2016 has been chosen as the place to present the new identity and common strategy of GDES. The mission, and the values that will imply our road map and the commitments to be assumed as a Group and as people working in GDES. ‘We add value to provide energy to the world’ has been presented as the new motto of our company. A claim built on the new definition, what we do, at GD Energy Services:

We contribute to the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the industry, through Engineering & Services, Innovation, Technology and Diversification as differentiating factors.

GDES is a synonym of commitment.

We provide high value-added solutions with the guarantee of a Service Company with more than 80 years of history, backed by the trust and loyalty of our clients as their strategic partner.

5 are the commitments that, from now on, should guide our actions and decisions to make this definition a present and future reality:

Energy, which not only speaks about the industry in which we work, but also defines our vital energy: to work with enthusiasm and passion, differentiating our efforts from those of our competitors.

Innovation as one of the most important strategic pillars for GDES, that makes us stand out in the energy sector. It is what allows us to maintain leadership in the markets in which we work.

People are everything for the Group and it is everyone’s commitment that this will never change. People are the way we build trust between us and the client. In essence, it is the commitment that sustains our growth.

Excellence, our commitment is to work with the highest quality standards. Being efficient, flexible and able to work as a team responding to one unique purpose: to be excellent.

And Sustainability. Everything we do, we must do it to keep growing in the long term. All the Group’s decisions must be sustainable and forward-looking. GDES is a family business and for that reason we look beyond a few years, we think of future generations.

‘These are the commitments that we must all assume as our own, and from now on, they must be part of the DNA of our organization,’ said the CEO of the Group, Héctor Dominguis.
