Our mission & values
We create long-term value through sustainable growth by investing in innovative solutions and building partnerships that address societal challenges. With a strong financial foundation, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on people, communities, and the environment.
Long-term perspective
In alignment with our long-term strategic objectives, we are committed to providing financial support for the strategic initiatives of our portfolio companies. Our primary emphasis is on fostering long-term, sustainable growth in operating cash flows and shareholders' equity, rather than prioritizing short-term dividend maximization.
Sustainability
Our focus is on fostering the sustainable development and growth of our portfolio companies, while upholding respect for individuals, the environment, and society at large
Active ownership
We are actively involved in the governing bodies of our portfolio companies and wish to be also involved in selecting the senior management and defining the long-term strategy. We actively support strategic projects (M&A, internationalization, innovation and operational improvements).
Growth
Ackermans & van Haaren positions itself as a long-term partner dedicated to building high-performing market leaders and supporting a more sustainable world. As entrepreneurs, we are committed to developing leading companies through international expansion, innovation, and diversification.
Our history
Ackermans & van Haaren represents 150 years of business innovation. The company, now a diverse group listed on Euronext Brussels, began in 1876 as a partnership between the Ackermans and van Haaren families.
