To achieve this, and in accor- dance with our approach to corporate social responsibility and the Model Company Objective, we maintain a responsible investment policy aimed at incorporating ESG considerations into our financial portfolio. At VKR Holding, we adhere to four key ownership principles: 1. Financial independence The business areas of the VKR Group must generate a profit that can finance growth and development over time. 2. Active investment strategy Investments in the business areas are made on an ongoing basis, and acquisitions of companies are made to supplement and complement existing business for long- term ownership. 3.
