Values and Cultures
Core values
Passion for Colleagues and Clients is the basis for our philosophy and attitude to one another and our clients. Passion presumes commitment, which in turn demands the desire and the ability to listen to the client and each other; to be interested in and have respect forcolleagues’ and clients’ needs and issues; to take initiatives; to preserve and to deliver what we promise.
We choose not to work with everyone. Our values determine our way of working, cooperating and investing. No matter whether you are a colleague or client, our core values – ‘Excellence’, ‘Innovation’ and ‘Integrity’ – need to be recognised.
Excellence is the desire and the ability to deliver solutions and services of highest quality – exceeding both the clients highest expectations and the best capabilities of our competitors.
Innovation is the desire and the ability to seek, identify, and implement new solutions; to lead the development of new services and products – to have the courage to break with tradition.
Integrity is the ability to ensure that every client’s confidentiality is respected and that every task is undertaken with the client’s best interests in mind – at all times with the highest business ethics and morals.
If we can create a culture where all our employees are engaged and where they know that their contribution is appreciated, then client focus will follow naturally. This is why we have great emphasis on employee development. Stronghold University – our approach to learning and building competence – lets us continuously evaluate and build the skills necessary to develop our employees.

Business Principles
The success of the Stronghold Group does not solely depend on the quality of the work we carry out for our clients. It is at least as important that we build and maintain an acknowledged reputation regarding business morals and correct ethical conduct.
This naturally applies to contacts both inside and outside the Group. It allows for more trust and confidence and means that we can work in an open and non-bureaucratic atmosphere.
To guide and inspire, our Business Principles helps us navigate and to ensure that we have a common view on business moral and ethics.

Social value
Many companies take pride in contributing to the creation of social values, over and above their regular business. For companies in the Stronghold Group it comes naturally to be an active community builder in the cities we operate in and to contribute to those cities’ attractiveness. Cities are a breeding ground for creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and GDP growth and essentials for a thriving economy.
Our mission stems from many years of experience of observing g the close relationship between a city’s prosperity and property returns. A study carried out by Newsec concluded that as much as 70 per cent of the total property return could be explained by the GDP growth.
“We Love Cities” represents our view on success factors for developing attractive cities and how Stronghold Group contributes to these factors.

Equality and diversity
Different cultures and backgrounds, men and women, students and senior citizens – a city embraces us all. It is encouraging to see that women’s position in society further evolves in urban communities. With the belief that people are qualified for the task and share our core values, Stronghold Group have taken a stand towards a culture that mirrors the overall society.

An attractive city is a city that demonstrates competitiveness and sustainable growth. Both today and in the future. However, Stronghold’s mission is not solely the result of a desire to do good. Our mission stems from many years of witnessing the close relationship between a city’s prosperity and property returns. As much as 70 percent of the total property return can be explained by the GDP growth. “We Love Cities” represents our view on success factors for developing attractive cities and how Stronghold Group contributes to these factors.
Environmental responsibility
The real estate industry has become increasingly aware that we need to act here and now if we are to reach the EU climate targets by 2020. It is not yet a norm, but we are definitely seeing a difference in the pricing of buildings with environmental classifications, both for rents and valuations. High standards of environmental governance make a city attractive for both businesses and people. The great opportunity within Corporate Social Responsibility lies in the ability to engage the entire Group’s power of innovation in environmental issues and encourage businesses to seek new opportunities within those areas.
