Strategic

Unica aims to be well-prepared for crisis situations, in order to guarantee the continuity of the organisation and its services.

Report of the Supervisory Board

As in 2020, 2021 once again placed huge demands on the adaptability of Unica. Although more was known about COVID-19, the degree of social disruption was still considerable.

Acquisitions

Unica operates an ambitious Mergers & Acquisitions agenda, aimed at strengthening its network through the targeted acquisition of solidly performing companies.

Strategy

Following a year of economic contraction due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Dutch economy achieved almost a complete recovery in 2021. Whereas the company shrank in 2020 by 3.8%, economic growth in 2021 amounted to an average of 3.9%.

Continuous improvement

The Shared Service Center (SSC) is primarily responsible for coordinating a series of central improvement processes aimed at further boosting the professionalisation of the organisation at Unica.

Digitalisation

The services provided by Unica and in the world around us are becoming increasingly digitalised. Unica is convinced that digitalisation is a crucial precondition for future relevance.

Innovation

To maintain a strategic focus on innovation, established as a separate division, the Unica Innovation Center remains an important driving force for the innovation of service provision in the broadest sense of the word.

Network of companies

Decentralised entrepreneurship within the network of companies is a key component of strategy at Unica.

Outlook for 2022 and beyond

For technical service provision in general and for Unica in particular, expectations remain positive.

A word from the Board of Directors

2021 was also dominated by the serious consequences of the COVID-19 virus, which led to major disruption of society. The effects on the operating results of Unica were limited, but nonetheless demanded considerable adaptability from the workforce.
