The                  

Way                  

Build a  
Balanced 
Portfolio.

harsco intends to operate a balanced, diversified 

business portfolio that mixes market-driven original 

equipment manufacturing (oem) with traditional service 

businesses. our two oem businesses, harsco rail 

and harsco Industrial, are capital-efficient operations that can 

build global scale from a strong and growing base. our large global 

services business, harsco metals & minerals, can build on its global 

leadership position and generate reliable recurring revenues by delivering more of the higher-

valued resource recovery and environmental solutions that large steel-producing sites demand. 

harsco will operate with clear criteria for what makes a strong portfolio company. our goal  

is that all harsco businesses will generate returns on Invested Capital (roIC) that exceed our 

cost of capital. They will focus on global industries with attractive long-term prospects. They 

will have solid potential for multinational expansion, especially in emerging markets. and they 

will strive for market leadership by delivering products and services that truly stand out. 

Pursue 
Growth And 
Financial 
Returns.

harsco will reward shareholders by making smart decisions about how  

we deploy capital. We will no longer accept low returns in pursuit of 

growth. Instead, we will hold each business accountable to meet clear 

performance criteria for everything from new contracts to investments 

in customer-focused solutions. We will take a disciplined approach to 

evaluate strategic opportunities, use rigorous analytics to screen them and make sure  

that the decisions we make advance our strategy. 

We also recognize that there are many pathways to profitable growth. Strategic joint ventures 

with customers, equity partners and third-party service providers will enable harsco to 

expand our global footprint as well as our opportunities to create value, while appropriately 

managing risks.

The                  

Way                  

Strive for  
Continuous  
Improvement.

Continuous Improvement and lean disciplines 

hold the key to harsco’s future as a company 

that thrives on efficiency, generates strong cash 

returns and effectively manages working capital.  

highly effective best practices exist across all harsco businesses, 

and there is a lot to be learned from them about how to manage 

receivables to improve cash flow conversion, how standardized equipment 

maintenance activities can extend the useful life of our vehicles, and how a well-tuned Concept 

to Commercialization engine streamlines and accelerates new product development. We will 

apply these tools more consistently across all harsco sites to boost performance.

no processes are more important than the environment, health and Safety practices we’ve 

designed to protect our people in very demanding environments. Together, we will work 

proactively to enhance safety and environmental responsibility by focusing on reducing risk, 

conducting regular safety assessments, ensuring “near miss” reporting and measuring incident 

response times. as harsco moves closer to our customers, the strong safety culture we are 

creating will be a critical differentiator that helps customers improve their own performance.

Competitive  
differentiation.

In today’s highly competitive global 

marketplace, harsco will win by 

leading the way in customer-focused 

innovation, and by helping customers 

solve their most critical business challenges. For metals & 

minerals, that means using our deep operational expertise 

and our Insight onsite™ to develop new environmental 

services and commercial applications that make the most 

of existing resources. For rail, it means offering a complete

that enhance railway performance, and applying our expanded global capabilities to execute

unit provide strong platforms for developing and supporting safe and efficient next-generation 

products—and for exporting these products to growing energy markets around the world.  

To emphasize how harsco is different and better, we will upgrade our marketing mechanisms, 

create more points of customer contact and build a sustainable profile of long-term  

value creation. 

Take a  
Long-term 
View.

harsco has a clear vision of what it means to operate as a balanced, 

smart, and efficient company that generates sustainable and profitable 

growth. But we understand that large-scale change is a multi-year journey 

that requires both urgency and patience. It takes time and genuine 

commitment to channel the passion and entrepreneurial spirit of all harsco colleagues to 

build and sustain a culture of execution, roIC focus, safety and continuous improvement. 

It takes disciplined investment to expand our footprint in emerging 

markets, to position all our growth platforms for success, and 

to develop harsco products and services to meet well-defined 

customer and market needs. and it takes continuous focus on our 

people—and systematic thinking about business contingencies and 

requirements—to ensure that we have the deep bench strength  

and advanced skill sets we need to translate vision into performance. 

To achieve this vision, we will manage all these variables with urgency 

and rigor. We will also scan the horizon to anticipate what’s coming, so we can scale our 

operations to seize these opportunities. 

By embracing the harsco Way, harsco colleagues can thrive by contributing their skills  

and perspectives to a dynamic and growing global enterprise that impacts the industries  

and markets we serve, engineers value for customers and shareholders, and creates  

attractive career opportunities.
