Sustainable growth
At Vestum, sustainable companies are our business concept. We see our sustainability work as an important competitive advantage. We acquire and develop specialist companies in the construction, and the infrastructure industry. And we have a holistic perspective on sustainability which is integrated into our business model, investment strategy and investment criteria.
We want to make a difference in society, we want our company's products and solutions help customers become more sustainable and create long-term values for society.
Vestum's subsidiaries, which vary in size and focus, have reached different stages of maturity in sustainability work. Some companies work methodically and measure ongoing results and improvements. Development is underway in other companies. Within their specialist areas, the companies have knowledge and experience regarding environmental issues, quality and how good working conditions are ensured, which partly meets the client's requirements, and partly contributes to the development of new solutions and standards within the industry. All acquisitions consist of well-managed businesses with company managements that have a great commitment to sustainable business solutions in an industry that has to deal with many challenges.
