With Formica, we get a long-term partner whose experience of building strong companies and knowledge in scaling sustainable solutions will be a great asset for us. Their strong belief in sustainable wooden construction, with a focus on positive impact and responsible entrepreneurship, is in line with our values ​​and our view of the future. With this collaboration, we see great opportunities to realize Nock's full potential.

The  ongoing Swedish cement crisis has demonstrated the need for cost-effective alternatives to concrete in the construction industry. Nock uses our local forests to build housings at the right price while storing carbon dioxide. We have for some time been looking for investments in wood-based construction and have in Nock found a unique company with a high degree of innovation and fantastic ability to get things done. Together, we hope to contribute to meeting both climate challenges and the housing crisis with high-quality buildings that people will enjoy living in.

We need to speed up the transition to fossil-free vehicles, and our technology plays an important role in creating more charge points, both in Sweden and across the world. Formica’s vision to address global challenges with sustainable solutions matches our ambition. They are a dream partner for us and with our shared values and our mutually strong drive, we will make a difference together.

The combination of an innovative and revolutionary solution, an impressive team, and a fast-growing market which contributes to the transition, makes ChargeNode a company of great potential to create both impact and value. I am very much looking forward to this journey. Now we have five investments in climate-effective solutions for properties, a segment we will continue to focus on as we see further attractive investments opportunities ahead.

We are very excited to release our first impact & responsibility report. Impact is central to our view on value creation and we hope this report clarifies our approach to potential partners. We believe in acting together with others with the same ambition to improve our positive impact on society.

We hope to inspire others by the clear distinction between responsibility and impact, which are both very important in the shift, but of different nature. Our Formula shows how we can support our companies to be successful and is something that we will continue to build upon in coming years. Hopefully after feedback from others reading this report.

Cybercom has had a remarkable development over the last few years. It has been incredibly inspiring to see our customers’ response to our strategic direction with specialization, the integration of sustainability into our offering and with an increased value in our deliveries. When Cybercom now merges with Knowit I can proudly look back at what we, as Makers of Tomorrow, have created and I am excited to follow this next step in the development of the company.

Niklas Flyborg, his team and all the great employees of Cybercom have done a tremendous job in taking Cybercom to its current position. We now see this transaction as a strategically sound next step for all parties - the operations complement each other well and constitute a strong platform for continued acquisition-based growth. We see our ownership in Knowit as a long-term investment in one of the strongest and most fast-growing digitalisation companies in the Nordics, with excellent opportunities to leverage on Cybercom's position in sustainable digital transformation.

For several years, we have seen a development towards more complex customer needs that require our expertise through the entire value chain, from product development to completely new customer interfaces and processes. Cybercom will complement our offering with more technology-oriented services and a sustainability offering at the forefront, areas that are developing rapidly. Further we are strengthening our market positions in cyber security and cloud services.

We are very excited to take part of the 1.5°C Business Playbook initiative, which we believe is a scientific yet practical way for companies to reduce carbon emissions while improving their competitive advantage and bottom line results.

The Playbooks inclusion of the full value chain and emphasis on including carbon strategies in the heart of business strategies is the only way of being successful in your climate ambitions and to future proof your business

This Playbook is aligned with the target to limit global warming to just 1.5°C. The only pathway left is massive emissions reductions across all business sectors in the next decade. We show that this is achievable
