Investment approach

We focus on sectors and strategies where we can benefit from our long-term business approach, financial strength and commitment to also consider non-financial aspects of investments.

We are an engaged owner who always aspires to provide more than capital to our investments. By working in a decentralised manner, we improve our ability to make well-informed decisions while inspiring our many co-workers to continuously improve our businesses.

We believe that long-term sustainable competitiveness can only be achieved when businesses create value both for their owners and for other stakeholders, including co-workers, society and the environment.

Our entrepreneurial heritage calls on us to never stand still, dare to be different and be open for new ideas.
