Business model
We are committed to providing high quality services and innovative solutions to our customers, while striving to minimise our environmental footprint and being a responsible employer and corporate citizen.
We believe that the best way to do this is by uniting companies within industrial IT and Automation, companies that put people first and prioritise sustainability for the greater good of our employees, our customers and society
.
Our Way is people first
Our Way is a set of value-based principles that guide the way we interact with each other and with our customers, and thus forms the very foundation of our business.
Our Way creates a connection between the way we behave as individuals, and the solutions we deliver.
Our Way is rooted in a ‘people first’ philosophy which recognises that, even in a technological industry, the relationships we create and nurture with one another lay at the heart of everything we do.
Corporate governance structure
Init Group’s corporate governance model is a two-tier system whereby the Board of Directors and Executive Management have two different roles laid down in the Rules of Procedure for the Board of Directors and Executive Management. Executive Management undertakes the operational management of Init, whereas the Board of Directors determines the overall company strategy and acts as a sounding board to Executive Management.
Management is on an ongoing basis monitoring the financial development as well as developments in the field of corporate governance to ensure that the Group – internally as well as externally – is managed in a manner that is in accordance with applicable laws, to protect the interests of all stakeholders.
Risk management is considered an essential and natural part of the realisation of Init’s objectives and strategy. The daily activities, the implementation of the established strategy and the continuous use of business opportunities involve inherent risks, and our handling of these risks is therefore seen as a natural and integrated part of the daily work and a way to ensure stable and reliable growth.
