Our vision – a better tomorrow
Our vision is a guide and a direction finder, our compass for all important decisions. It is through our actions, large and small, that we make a real contribution to a better tomorrow. Whether this is about customer value and employee development or engagement and, not least, sustainability. We try to constantly challenge ourselves by always thinking and acting on the basis that there is a better way.
Our mission – building better companies for future generations
All Ernströmgruppen companies should improve over time with the goal of performing best in their niche, where best has significantly more dimensions than just profitability. This is about everything from customer satisfaction and employee engagement to sustainability and longterm growth and profitability. Overall performance is what counts to stay at the top in the long term.
If we are to remain competitive in the future, we must be at the forefront today. It is therefore our ambition to constantly challenge ourselves, to deliver long-term stable results and to contribute to society from a sustainability perspective with a focus on people, the environment and the economy. We work systematically to promote the development of more sustainable customer offerings in the industries in which we are active, and climate and environmental responsibility are high on the agenda. We have clear goals for our sustainability work in both environmental and social responsibility and corporate governance.
For companies that want help and support in developing their business, being part of Ernströmgruppen and one of our business areas should be attractive. Through our business areas, we provide an industrial context in which companies can jointly achieve a better customer offering and greater competitiveness. Ernström gruppen should be perceived as the obvious choice, and for this to be possible we need to outperform our competitors and attract high-performing new companies run by strong-willed entrepreneurs. By performing at our peak, we show in practice that Ernström gruppen is serious about building and developing strong companies by means of industrial business areas.
Our values – transparency, responsibility, impact and professionalism
Building strong businesses requires many different qualities. We have a trust-based governance model that is guided by the values we believe in and share. Our values of transparency, responsibility, impact and professionalism guide us in everything we do and form the basis of a healthy working climate, reinforcing the collective, entrepreneurial mindset of all Ernströmgruppen employees. Our Code of Conduct, our policies and our common guidelines apply to the whole Group, but each individual company is free to develop them and adapt them to suit its own business.
