Our Strategy
We are facing an increasingly complex and fast-moving environment. In the coming years, sustainability, innovation and digitalization, as well as increased competition for talent, will shape Investor and our companies.
Sustainable value creation process
Each company we are engaged in has a dedicated business team, consisting of our board representatives in the company and investment professionals at Investor. The business teams build company knowledge, benchmark versus competition and evaluate corporate structures. Considerable time is being spent on finding
and capturing value-creating opportunities offered by long-term trends such as new technology and sustainability. Based on the analysis, we develop and constantly refine value creation plans, identifying strategic key value drivers that we believe that the companies should focus on to maximize long-term value. We present these plans to the company's Chair and CEO, drive them in the board discussions and follow up on the progress.
Our ultimate target to generate an attractive total return, is supported by our strategic and operating priorities:
