Of course we are proud the day a building or structure is officially ope- ned, but that is not when we measure our success. A building is for people. When we see it benefiting and giving value and pleasure to the people using it, that is when we know we have succeeded. All the work we did in 2001 was guided by this basic philosophy. At the same time, we had to focus on our immediate chal- lenges. Our financial results for 2001 were disappointing. The reason for this is to be found both in a weak market and in our own ability to create a profitable operati- on. We are therefore still quite a long way Liseberg Park, the largest amuse- from our target of a 20 per cent return on ment park in Scandinavia, is cont- inuously being renewed. In 2001, equity capital, but this target stands firm Veidekke played an active part in that renewal.
