Pillars and strategic targets

Creating added value for all key stakeholders while providing a sound investment for shareholders is a key pillar of TKH’s operations. We do this with healthy balance sheet ratios and a strong cash flow from our operating activities, with a focus on sustainable long-term continuity of the company. We aim to achieve an annual increase in earnings per share, and a net debt/EBITDA ratio of no more than 2.0. Generated cash will be reinvested in businesses with above-average growth potential and/or distributed to shareholders. Structural surpluses of cash can be used for share buyback programs, dividends, and/or strategic investments with an attractive return on investment.

TKH will expand through organic growth and acquisitions, with a geographical focus on Europe, North America, and Asia. Acquisitions will focus on structurally healthy companies that strengthen our portfolio of proprietary technologies or enhance our sales network.

TKH aims to be an attractive and responsible employer. A key pillar of our corporate level strategy is investing in human capital and building a strong, diverse workforce of talented people. Working together with talented and qualified people is vital to achieving our mission of creating best-in-class Smart Technologies.

Being an attractive and responsible employer is an important commitment that we take seriously. TKH offers an inspiring, safe, and healthy working environment for all our employees, and we are constantly striving to improve. TKH has an open business culture with a high level of entrepreneurship and short lines of communication. Our organization is also characterized by delegated authority, trust, and transparency.

TKH conducts business in a socially responsible manner with a strong awareness of our environment. We continuously seek to strengthen our contribution to a sustainable society by creating a sustainable product portfolio and business proposition; for example, around 68% of our turnover is related to one of the SDGs. In addition, our focus on sustainability also improves TKH’s commercial position, by helping our customers to meet their sustainability criteria.

Furthermore, at TKH we continue to increase the importance of sustainability in our business decision-making processes. We attach great importance to the principles of good governance, including integrity, transparency, accountability, and adequate oversight. In addition, we follow a zero-tolerance policy on issues such as fraud, bribery, and corruption.
