Our experienced leadership team continues to work closely with our sole shareholder, PSP Investments, and our Board of the Directors, as we remain committed to expanding our global footprint and growing our platform. This year we welcomed two new members to the ROADIS Board of Directors: Ignacio Moreno, who joins as an Independent Director, contributing his extensive experience in managing and governing major companies; and Patrick Charbonneau, Managing Director of Infrastructure Investments at PSP Investments, who brings with him experience in transaction execution and asset management.
In 2017 we announced our agreement to acquire two key highways in Portugal: Auto Estradas do Atlântico (AEA) and Auto Estradas do Litoral Oeste (AELO). In 2018, we commenced operations and we are proud to now have a portfolio of 10 road concessions located in five strategic countries across three continents.
At ROADIS people come first. The concern for the communities in which we operate, and health and safety have a major influence on our strategy.
This year, we once again signed an agreement to support Fundación Real Madrid’s (FRM) projects in India. As FRM’s reference partner in India, we are continuing to support development and creation of social projects in the country. FRM focuses on academic training, health and the family environment, through the practice of sports, for 200 disadvantaged boys and girls from rural communities in India.
In Brazil, we have intensified our efforts to improve the living conditions in the state of Bahía, through programmes such as Saúde no Trecho. Through the programme, free primary healthcare assistance is provided in the most disadvantaged areas.
ROADIS’ future is exciting – we are upholding our commitment to offer an attractive return on investment through asset management based on the highest standards of quality and good governance. ROADIS will continue to selectively seek new opportunities to extend its current portfolio and consolidate its position in the markets in which it operates.
I am confident that we will continue on our path towards the successful fulfilment of our long-term strategy and continue connecting over two hundred million people worldwide.
