Why Stokke Industri?

We adopt along-term industrial approach to what we do. With a focus on active ownership and an active development board, we believe it is vital to spend time with management to establish a focused strategy and specific action plans, and engage in ongoing dialogue with the CEO and CFO.

As owner we focus on:

-

End clients and building strong brands

-

Developing efficient value chains

-

Developing and enhancing products and services that cater for actual needs

-

Ensuring that the organisation has sufficient competence, experience and capacity to do what is required to achieve the goals in the next 1–3 years.

We adopt a long ownership horizon and are willing to make the necessary investments in the product, market and organisation to realise our established strategy. Stokke Industri wishes to be an active contributor, not just invest funds.

ESG policy

Our vision is to drive the value of the future. That is why Stokke Industri looks for sustainable investments that create lasting value for society and future generations.
Our vision is founded on the experiences and attitudes we have built up over 90 years of working in industry, and we will manage our investments on that basis.

We believe that profitable growth is a prerequisite for solving the challenges of the future and creating an exciting workplace that attracts skilled people. We believe that companies that strive to improve the environment through more efficient resource utilisation will enjoy a competitive edge, better profitability and better risk-adjusted returns over the long term. 
As a responsible and long-term industrial owner, we will contribute to sustainable value creation by actively addressing ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) issues in our investments. That is why we look for investments and partners who share our values and attitudes. We believe that exercising our ownership role in a responsible manner together with other owners, management and employees maximises opportunities to make a positive difference in relation to the environment, social conditions and sound corporate governance.

Based on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, we will adopt a holistic ESG perspective in all we do, including assessment of new investments and our work with existing investments. We will demand that our portfolio companies understand and manage their challenges and opportunities around ESG, and that they have ambitions and goals for genuine and actual improvements. This is best achieved through specific and measurable actions in each company and regular reporting.
