For Lappset, this means that the management of corporate finance aims at enabling long-term growth. Our familyowned company’s objective is to ensure that business operations continue from one generation to the next, while creating added value for stakeholders. Economic responsibility also includes following the principles of good corporate governance in all operations. In addition to good corporate governance, compliance with the national and international legislation related to corporate financial management and the associated good practices is a natural part of our operations. Lappset is a financially solid and stable company, as proven by the AAA credit rating certificate we have been granted for several years in a row.

This means our company’s relations with any stakeholder group, including the staff, owners, investors, customers, end users, subcontractors and suppliers, co-operation partners, competitors, the authorities, subsidiaries, distributor network, organisations, educational institutions and their students, the media, and visitors.
