This model has two components: the \u201chouse\u201d \u2013 the normative framework \u2013 on the one hand, and the rolling core process, which governs all other processes and activities, on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our excellence model provides a structural and procedural framework in our quest for continuous improvement, and helps develop a common language between E3 (as the investor) and its group companies (i.e. the investees). Even if the sub-elements of the \u201chouse\u201d and the core process differ from investee to investee, they will follow the model\u2019s basic structure.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"section-anchor\" id=\"anchor-block_493b4d501443d8f52f736091c7f008c5\"><\/aside><section class=\"custom-block section-quote text-left pt-medium quote-\" id=\"block_493b4d501443d8f52f736091c7f008c5\"><div class=\"section-inner\"><div class=\"wrapper-wide\"><div class=\"row g-0\"><div class=\"quote-content align-self-center mb-3 mb-lg-0 col-24 text-center ps-sm-3 pe-sm-3 ps-xxl-5 pe-xxl-5 parallax-section-content\"><span class=\"quote-icon fade-in\"><?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 27.4.0, SVG Export Plug-In .

E3 Holding\u2019s strategy, comprising its three verticals, is set. Clear guidelines on organisation and governance have been drawn up. Entrepreneurial action is guided by values such as sustainability, the promotion of women and diversity, and enhancing employer attractiveness. Our framework will be refined with each new investment made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enablement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation of the house serves to <strong>enable<\/strong> the entire organisation and ensure the company\u2019s future viability. A company\u2019s collective capabilities and opportunities are a crucial asset and the basis of its future performance. The \u201cpursuit of excellence\u201d is a long-term concept, which primarily aims at establishing differentiating or unique structures, including core expertise, the availability and use of state-of-the-art technology, functioning infrastructure, financial stability, and an open corporate culture based on mutual trust and respect. Achieving these goals requires systematic and continuous investments in infrastructure, future technologies, skills, and corporate culture; short-term thinking is out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core value creation and support processes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Core value creation<\/strong> forms the crucial middle part of the House of Excellence.
