TITAN Group (Brussels:TITC) published today its 2024 Integrated Annual Report (IAR) which outlines the company's financial, as well as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. This report marks a year of record financial performance, strong shareholder returns and a continued focus on long-term stakeholder value creation. As TITAN accelerates the execution of its Green Growth Strategy 2026, it remains steadfast in its dedication to sustainability, innovation, and customer-centric growth, setting new standards of excellence across the industry.

In 2024, TITAN achieved record financial performance, with strong revenue growth and an over-proportional increase in profitability, while further strengthening its balance sheet. This strong performance for another year underscores the Group’s ability to execute its strategy, delivering growth and resilience in an evolving and volatile market environment. The “Sustainability Statement” section in the 2024 IAR is fully aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which was enacted by the EU this year, providing a comprehensive overview of how TITAN addresses key ESG matters, identified through a double materiality assessment¹. TITAN is shaping a future where business success and societal progress go hand in hand, driven by its purpose: "Making the world around us a safe, sustainable, and enjoyable place to live".

Distribution of dividend
