In 2009 and 2010, Orco reviewed the reporting structures of leaders in the real estate development industry and started adapting those structures to its own corporate structure. As such, the Company restructured its reporting by business lines in order to optimize reporting practices in its two activities: Development and Property Investments, thereby improving reporting for internal management and external communication.
