Our Strategic Direction

Our Strategic Direction

We believe that sustainable development is paramount for lasting economic success. That is why we take the proactive management of key sustainability factors so seriously.


Our mission statement:

“As business-minded investors, we want to have a positive impact on the markets and the world we live in. We take pride in nurturing generations and steering lifetime achievements towards a sustainable future. That is why we invest in companies that demonstrate a high level of resilience even in an ever-changing world, and that have the potential to play a part in shaping both digital and green transformation.”

We believe that sustainable development is paramount for lasting economic success. That is why we take the proactive management of key sustainability factors so seriously.

Effective sustainability management calls for systematic consideration of financial risks and opportunities that arise within the scope of social and ecological transformation processes on the journey towards more sustainability in business.

With this in mind, E3 Holding deliberately refrains from acquiring companies whose business models are sustainability-driven per se. Instead, our strategy involves the consistent development of “conventional” business models, to make them resilient and successful in the long term. E3 Holding is a transformation investor, striving equally

  • to generate an attractive return for its investors and also
  • to allow as positive a social and environmental impact as possible to flourish, with the human element at its heart.

We use the UN Sustainable Development Goals framework as a guideline, and we also expressly support the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment and the UN Global Compact.

To ensure constant access to a broad range of sustainability expertise, we have been involved in founding a consulting firm specialising in sustainability: fors.earth capital GmbH, which has been commissioned by E3 Holding and its group companies to support us in putting our ESG vision into practice.
