Latour makes long-term investments in companies with proprietary products and brands supported by global megatrends, and good prospects for internationalisation.
Latour´s operations are primarily carried out in two business lines: wholly-owned industrial operations and a portfolio of listed holdings. There are also a handful of other holdings, mainly in Latour Future Solutions.
In all holdings, Latour acts as an active principal owner, where the work of the Board is the most important platform for the sustainable creation of value.
Core values
Latour’s core values are:
- Long-term perspective
- Businessmanship
- Trust & Accountability
- Development
Governance is characterised by a delegated decision-making structure, with each holding having a unique corporate culture and its own strategic process. However, Latour’s core values permeate all holdings.
In all holdnings, there is a structured approach to the work of the Board, acquisition processes and integration processes. Latour’s interests in several global groups help the companies to develop in line with the adopted international expansion strategy, by enabling the holdings to exchange experiences and knowledge.
Leadership plays a central role in the corporate governance. Leaders at Latour should be culture carriers and role models. They should assume responsibility for performance, sustainable value creation and the well-being of the organisation. The leadership style is characterised by freedom with responsibility and is favourably combined with feedback and transparency.
