Investing with discipline
BTG plans targeted investments worth USD 165 million to expand revenue, enhance productivity, and upgrade technology. Each project is evaluated under strict return thresholds, with expected double-digit IRRs and payback periods aligned with the company’s disciplined capital framework.
The company is also evaluating selective inorganic opportunities that offer strategic fit and earnings accretion, building on the successful integration of Eggriculture in Singapore.
Sustainability anchors long-term growth
BTG recently received a Highly Commended Sustainability Award at the SET Awards and retained its ‘AAA’ rating in the SET ESG Ratings for the second consecutive year. This recognition reflects the company’s continued integration of ESG principles into operations, governance, and risk management.
BTG remains committed to strengthening profitability, enhancing capital efficiency and delivering sustainable shareholder value over the long term.
“We are building a stronger, more focused Betagro; one that balances growth with financial discipline. Our priority is sustainable earnings growth, improved ROIC and long-term value creation” Mr Vasit concluded.
