Our ambition is to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders

We are transforming our business portfolio towards higher value creation. The FY2021 results are a reflection of our focus and delivery on the key priorities set forth on our transformation journey.

In 2020, we have made significant progress in enhancing our profitability, strengthening the balance sheet, and generating cash. Despite the turmoil that Covid-19 has created in our markets, Bekaert has secured the business continuity of customers around the world, the health and safety of people in our facilities worldwide, and we were successful in offsetting the impact of the pandemic on our financial performance.

Based on the strong performance of 2021 and confidence in the set direction, the Board of Directors has decided to propose to the General Meeting of Shareholders of 11 May 2022, a gross dividend of € 1.50, up 50% from last year and in line with the company’s Dividend Policy.

As an investor, analyst or shareholder, you can count on the Bekaert investor relations team to answer your questions should you wish to discuss Bekaert’s investment case.
