STRATEGIC BELIEFS

Our investment strategy and -approach is based on six fundamental strategic beliefs

A.P. Moller Holding is the cultural custodian of the Maersk name and values. We safeguard the name and we make sure it is developed in the spirit of our forefathers. We ensure the values are understood and lived by the Supervisory and Executive Boards of the Maersk companies.

A.P. Moller Holding is an engaged and influential long-term owner with a point of view on key matters, acknowledged as a valued parent.

A.P. Moller Holding is an investor in the spirit of our founder A.P. Møller; investing in and building new businesses – based on access to certain insights, market positions, assets, capabilities and networks – to safeguard the growth and renewal, and thus viability of our portfolio for the next decades. We believe portfolio renewal comes from building new businesses inside and outside of our core holdings.

A.P. Moller Holding is open to reconsider ownership of a business in our portfolio, if its business model does not have a positive impact on our name or society, and/or lacks prospects for competitive value creation over a long time.

A.P. Moller Holding wants to hold a diversified and financially robust portfolio to sustain black swans and unforeseen negative events.

A.P. Moller Holding wants to safeguard our ability to pay dividends to the A.P. Moller Foundation over the next decades, in order for the Foundation to contribute to society in the form of donations.
