How we work

Our way of working

Seriously active
ownership

We are active owners. This means we take a hands-on and engaged approach to managing and influencing the companies in which we invest. We believe active ownership involves more than just providing capital; it entails actively setting clear goals, defining KPIs, aligning accountability and incentives with management, and closely monitoring performance.

We also factor in environmental, social, and governance factors that will impact the long-term performance of a company and the well-being of society as a whole.

All of this enables us to significantly enhance operational efficiency and unlock value for our stakeholders, as well as leave a positive footprint on the Icelandic economy.

Our approach

From investment to divestment

The way we work is quite straightforward. Not to be confused with ‘easy’ or ‘superficial’. No, rather, it means that we follow the same recipe every time we collaborate with a portfolio company.

Our Commitment

Living up to the highest standards

As PRI signatories, we have publicly committed to the six Principles for Responsible Investments.

Alongside our philosophy of Positive Impact Investing, our responsible investment policy aims to assess potential risk factors that could impact each investment, minimize the likelihood of these risks materializing, and enhance value through environment,

social, and governance (ESG) strategies in the post-investment period. Ultimately, we want to deliver a positive impact for Iceland.

Alfa Framtak’s policy on responsible investments includes the firm's ESG criteria, as well as sustainability risk in investment decisions and during ownership.
