Creating long-term value

For us at Coor, sustainable value creation is about taking long-term responsibility for what we do as a business. Our primary objective is to develop services that generate a positive financial return, without compromising on respect for people or the environment.

Profitable growth with responsibility

We want to continue to grow both in IFM and as a provider of single FM services, through new sales, extensions of existing contracts and acquisitions of well-managed companies.


Strong customer partnerships

Our partnerships with our customers are key. We endeavour to deliver professional and proactive service, and a service experience that ensures customer satisfaction. We also work to leverage geographic economies of scale, uniform solutions and harmonised processes to deliver margins.

Engaged people and a strong employer brand

Our goal is to have the most committed, confident, competent and service-oriented employees, and the strongest employer brand in the FM industry. We also focus on driving the green transition in the FM market by offering our customers data-driven services that reduce negative climate impacts.

 

Strategy guided by global frameworks

We have joined the UN Global Compact and follow its Ten Principles for human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Our strategy is also based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and we prioritise the areas where we use the most resources and can have the most significant positive impact.

Quality, risk management and resilience

We also work in a structured way to reduce risks and have certified our operations in accordance with relevant ISO standards to ensure high quality.

To remain a market leader, we are focusing on a number of areas that are key to achieving our goals.

Our value creation model

Our strategy links business performance, people and sustainability. By combining customer excellence, engaged employees and reduced environmental impact, Coor creates long-term value across the entire value chain.

Our main focus areas

 

Business responsibility

Coor will achieve long-term business sustainability through stable and profitable financial development, while upholding strong business ethics and customer relations.

Our focus areas

Operational efficiency

We ensure efficient, secure and profitable services by leveraging geographic economies of scale, uniform solutions and process harmonisation. Our motivated employees, together with our continuous focus on improvement and efficiency, enable us to deliver high-quality services. Continuous operational improvements are an important part of everyday working life at Coor and contribute to long-term profitability.

Leading customer experiences

We focus on understanding our customers’ needs and on delivering professional, proactive services that ensure the highest customer satisfaction in the FM market. By combining our expertise with innovative solutions, we offer services that increase our customers’ efficiency and reduce their resource utilisation.

We also develop strategies and concepts for the modern workplace, adapted to hybrid working, in order to create workplaces that remain attractive, healthy and inspiring over the long term.

Customer loyalty

We strive to build long-term relationships by delivering top‑notch service and high‑quality deliveries that exceed our customers’ expectations. Our goal is to create strong and lasting partnerships that make our customers choose to stay with us.

Growth and acquisitions

By combining local expertise with innovative solutions, we aim to retain our existing customers in our Nordic home market and attract new ones. We work closely with our customers to ensure that our services generate the highest possible value and contribute to their success.

We grow our customer base by offering both IFM solutions and single services of a high standard. The single services where we primarily seek to expand are cleaning and property services. We also grow through acquisitions of well‑managed companies, with the aim of building capacity through clear synergies and expanding our market presence.

We take comprehensive responsibility for the environment by systematically reducing our own and our customers’ impact on natural resources and ecosystems. Our environmental efforts span the entire value chain and include everything from energy efficiency and waste management to transport emissions and raw material sourcing.

Understanding strategic risks

Strategic risks at Coor are defined as “Risks that primarily affect Coor’s ability to implement its current strategy”. Our strategic risk managementprocess is designed to assess, manage and reduce risks that may affect our strategic targets. 

This approach ensures that we are well prepared to navigate uncertainties while maintaining our growth. Risks may arise from external factors over which the Group has limited control, in which case our risk management focuses on flexibility and adaptation. Risks may also be directly within our control.

Risk management integrated into strategy

Risk management is integrated into our strategic planning process, and in 2025 we made several improvements to align our business risks more closely to our strategic framework. This alignment ensures that risk considerations are integrated into decision-making, improving our ability to respond effectively to potential threats. 


A structured and proactive approach

This structured approach to risk management underlines our commitment to maintaining resilience and achieving our strategic targets. By proactively managing risks, we aim to protect and increase the value for our stakeholders while ensuring a solid and reliable business for our employees and customers.  

Risk management at Coor is the process of identifying, assessing, prioritising and reducing risks to our organisation as well as the  implemented activities and continuous  monitoring of these activities. For 2025, our key risk map highlights the critical risks we are actively managing to ensure long-term success and alignment with our strategic targets. This map is supported by a monitoring model that tracks the effectiveness of our risk reduction  measures. Regular reviews and discussions in  the management team improve our risk 
management practices, making them more dynamic and strategically  relevant to Coor.
