📈 Growth is happening. But is it creating value?

💡 The results of a recent survey conducted by EMCS among Malta’s family businesses reveal a striking trend: many businesses are growing their turnover, yet profitability is struggling to keep pace.

The findings highlight the growing importance of strategic planning, governance, productivity and digitalisation in turning growth into sustainable profit.

An insightful article based on the survey findings and the discussions held during the Family Business Conference.

More turnover, but stagnant or lower profits: Malta’s mid-sized family businesses face ‘scaling canyon’ A new report shows firms with 10 to 50 employees are struggling to turn higher revenues into bottom line growth

We would like to thank The Malta Chamber and Family Business Office Malta for their collaboration and support in bringing together this important discussion and sharing the findings of the EMCS Family Business Survey.

The conference brought together business leaders, policymakers and family business owners to explore one key message:

📈 Growing bigger doesn't always mean growing better.

The survey findings show that the businesses creating long-term value are those investing in strong governance, strategic planning, productivity and digitalisation to turn growth into sustainable profitability.

The future belongs to businesses that don't just grow, but grow smarter.

"The problem isn't growth. It's profitless growth."

One of the key messages emerging from the Family Business Survey is that getting bigger doesn't automatically mean becoming more successful.

The businesses creating long-term value are those investing in structure, governance and digitalisation to improve productivity and strengthen profitability.

🌍 Behind Europe’s ageing research lies a powerful data network and Malta is part of it.

For over a decade, EMCS has been responsible for collecting SHARE data locally, contributing to key insights on health, society, and ageing.

Because better data leads to better decisions.

🎒📚 Making a difference, together.

A big thank you to EMCS employees who generously donated school supplies and contributed financially to support the Back-to-School Hero: Pave the Way for Learning campaign in collaboration with the Fondazzjoni St Jeanne Antide. EMCS also contributed by donating 10 school shoe vouchers to support children and families in need.

Stefano Mallia, Partner, EMCS reminds us:
"Every small positive gesture can have a big impact on the life of a child."

Together, we're helping children start the school year with confidence, dignity and the tools they need to learn. 💙 📖

⚖️ End-of-life planning isn’t driven by personality as much as we might think.

New research using SHARE data shows that personality traits have only a modest influence on whether people engage in end-of-life planning, meaning it’s something that can be encouraged across all groups.

This matters, because effective planning is linked to reduced stress for families, fewer conflicts, and better quality of life in later stages.

🇲🇹 Through its work on SHARE, EMCS ensures Malta’s data contributes to these important European insights, supporting better-informed policy and social interventions.
