Leighton Holdings has been listed on the Australian Securities Exchange since 1962 and has become a recognised name and leader in the development and contracting field.

Its principal objective is to oversee and monitor the performance of the Leighton Group’s operating companies, develop and maintain a financially sound, competitive and profitable organisation that recognises the needs of shareholders, clients and employees, as well as those of the communities within which Group companies operate.
