Corporate Social Responsibility and Innovation

Innovation

INNOVATION encompasses the creation of value in our company’s markets, promoting change through the development of an innovation culture spread right across CENTUM, directed at our internal clients and divisions, as well as our human capital and our general operating environment.

Innovation Management

CENTUM has, from its very inception, firmly bet on itself as being ready and willing to get involved in pioneering research projects in its specialist areas of interest. Historically, CENTUM has alwyas promoted and supported this way of working, implementing a RDI policy based on the concept of “Open Innovation”.

  • » The best people are not all here – we have to work with the best there are, both inside the company and outside in the wider world.
  • » We’ll experiment in the here-and-now with our own ideas and those of others, using the ones that work best.
  • » Our strength lies in our ability to take advantage of, integrate and assimilate innovation and to colloborate with innovators, both within the company and externally.
  • » We’ll win if we’re able to get the most out of internal and external capabilities.
  • » We’ll get into new markets, either on our own or through other partners.

Definition of INNOVATION objectives

  • » Levelop CENTUM’s capabilities
  • » Develop and embed an innovation culture within CENTUM
  • » Systematize CENTUM’s innovation within CENTUM

Aligned with these INNOVATION goals, CENTUM has, within the framework of its Strategic Plan 2009-2011, allocated substantial budgetary resources to the management of INNOVATION, in line with those allocated to technology, processes and markets. This has facilitated us in achieving significant qualitative leaps forward in our market-focused value added proposals in recent years, and has also systematically benefitted us in moving forward with our clients.
