Leighton Holdings has been listed on the Australian Stock 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. At the same time, Leighton Holdings provides an umbrella framework of corporate governance, ensuring the highest standards of behaviour are adopted.
