Our strategy

Our strategy is focused on growing faster, executing better and doing even more to inspire and empower our people. We are moving with greater pace and urgency, to deliver performance reflective of our vast capabilities.

 

The Smiths Value Engine connects our capabilities to our potential, enabling us to deliver value to our stakeholders on a sustainable basis. The Engine has three key components: Our Values and Purpose, Our Strengths, and Our Priorities.

 

Pioneers of progress: our purpose, our strengths, our priorities

Our values and purpose

We are Pioneers of Progress. For over 170 years, Smiths has been improving our world through smarter engineering. Our technology benefits millions of people every day – making travel safer, supporting sustainable energy transition, efficiently heating or cooling our homes, and helping our world stay connected.

Our values and our commitment to doing business responsibly are more than just words. They influence every decision and help to make Smiths a place where people want to work, an organisation that is valued, and one that people want to do business with.
