‘Nyttig virksomhed’ is our Group’s long-standing purpose
Arnold Peter Møller defined the purpose of the A.P. Møller Group in the charter of the A.P. Møller Foundation in 1953: Businesses should be developed to have a positive impact on society, while also being financially sound and profitable.

Over the last decades, the A.P. Moller Group has invested in and built many businesses that have a positive impact on society – and this continues to be our purpose.
