How we invest
We invest in brands and consumer-oriented companies where we currently have strong positions geographically, with the ambition to further develop our international footprint over time.
We accelerate growth and cultivate opportunities for our existing portfolio companies by investing organically and through M&A.
We source and invest behind new platforms that can produce meaningful value over the short term and sustainable competitive advantage over the long term.
How we create value
Our approach lies in the ability to jointly execute on five specific drivers of sustainable value alongside each portfolio company management team:
Industry shaping
We maximise value creation through structural opportunities, dynamic capital allocation and new growth opportunities.
Active ownership
We implement our proven approach to strategy, compose industry leading boards and design incentive programmes tailored to the strategic agenda to ensure accountability.
Combined expertise
We combine ownership expertise, benefits of scale within procurement and IT,
and best practices within sales, marketing and sustainability to accelerate performance.
Flexible approach
We tailor our ownership approach to maximise the value of our holdings,
and we are flexible to investment horizons and ownership structures.
Our sustainability promise
We create positive change by enabling a responsible transition towards net zero and sustainable production and consumption.
Our presence
Orkla's portfolio of brands and consumer-oriented companies reaches consumers in over 100 countries across the world.
While we are a truly global company, our investment in the Nordic countries is where our expertise runs deepest and where 60% of our revenue is generated. By investing in our home markets, we continue to deliver quality and value both locally and worldwide.
Over time, it is Orkla’s ambition to develop its international footprint even further. The goal is increased growth and to capitalise on strategic opportunities. Orkla builds on its experience of markets and categories that it knows well. When attractive opportunities arise, Orkla considers investments outside the group’s core areas, provided that they are compatible with Orkla’s unique areas of expertise and investment strategy.
