Case Study: a major waste management company achieves portfolio rationalization and 30% share price growth with LEK Consulting

a major waste management company boosts share price 30% with LEK Consulting

LEK Consulting assisted a major waste management company facing instability due to excessive debt and a shareholder seeking an exit. The board engaged LEK to lead a whole-of-enterprise transformation to fundamentally restructure the business.

LEK Consulting's solution involved a multi-month strategy and performance improvement project, identifying cost reductions and redesigning the operating model. This led to portfolio rationalization, the sale of businesses, and the launch of continual improvement programs. The transformation resulted in a stabilized balance sheet and a 30% increase in the company's share price once the changes were released to the market.
