Corporate Social Responsibility
We strive to be a good corporate citizen. Our ambition and responsibility cover a number of areas, such as the environment, human rights and working conditions. It also includes a commitment and responsibility to participate in the development of society at large. We have a tradition of behaving as a responsible company and owner that spans nearly 100 years.
We believe there is a strong link between long-term profitability and a sustainable business model. Our thinking and activities within the corporate sustainability field are split into two perspectives: our role as an owner and investor, as well as our role as a company and employer.
Our corporate sustainability efforts also include ongoing dialogues with large businesses, international business networks and government representatives in different countries about the conditions for owning and developing companies over the long term. These dialogues give us early indications about trends, political changes and opportunities, which we convey to our holdings. As in all business activity, if handled appropriately, a sustainability focus should provide interesting opportunities for us as well as our holdings.
