Adeka’s strategic focus is based on “aspiring to become an aggressive and progressive” company. Through its basic management plan the company will concentrate on economic efficiency, social awareness and environmental preservation. The two key themes of the management plan include “substantial growth" and "further increase of profitability".
The company’s key strategy includes:
