Q8 has set the following strategic objectives:

• To achieve competitive edge by fully exploiting our strengths, in particular the backing of our parent company, which provides us with financial strength and access to a stable, long-term source of hydrocarbons.
  
• To reward our shareholders at a level comparable to that of our competitors.
  
• To develop and strengthen our existing businesses in markets where we can maintain a strong competitive position.
  
• To grow significantly by expanding our marketing and refining activities into new markets.
  
• To achieve and sustain a level of performance that is consistently superior to that of our competitors.
  
• To develop a high quality integrated marketing and refining business, with a link to petrochemicals wherever possible.
