Decentralisation contributes to increased profitabilityOur decentralised governance model was introduced in 2022 and has gradually had positive effects. We see that profitability improves when the power of the subsidiaries is released to the business instead of internal administration, which contributed to Berner Industrier being able to report a record-high EBITA result in 2023. The journey does not end there, we continue to strive for each business to reach its full potential through clear management by objectives combined with room for entrepreneurship.
