Targets

A close and constructive dialogue is maintained between Addtech group and the companies, including Thurne. The Group supports companies within areas relating to acquisitions, business development, accounting, IT and data security, and in particular within sustainability. In our annual strategy process, we establish development plans, where we specify activities to advance our positions in important areas such as growth, profitability, digitalization, and sustainability.

For Addtech, it is important to build strong partnerships with various actors to secure development towards our 2030 goals, while also contributing to the development of global sustainability challenges. We perceive a continuous need to analyze risks and opportunities, linked to the area of sustainability, to support our companies in business development.
