Our Purpose: is the same today as it was when we were founded 160 years ago, that is, to feed into the prosperity of our customers and their communities, not off it. To support our vision we have instituted a new integrated program of work - BEN+, aligned to our strategic imperatives of reducing complexity, investing in capability and telling our story.
