Our vision, mission and strategic focus

This is Atlas Copco Group – technology that transforms the future

Our vision is to become and remain First in Mind—First in Choice of our customers and other stakeholders. Our mission is to achieve sustainable, profitable, inclusive growth. This means that we should continuously deliver profitable growth with an increased positive impact on society and the environment and by promoting diversity and inclusion. Inclusion is about providing everyone within our organization with support and inspiration to learn and grow. It also means that we include the perspective of different stakeholders, like customers and society, when we create value.

The Atlas Copco Group identifies profitable niches and operates in selected market segments. We increase our market presence through expanding into segments and technologies close to our core. Whether we sell our products directly or indirectly, and under which brand, depends on the customer and market. Our global presence and diverse customer base support lasting growth.

To secure a leading market position, we invest in research and development. Through leading technologies, we aim to develop new products and solutions that are critical to our customers’ operations, improve their productivity, and support their success. Energy efficiency, connectivity, and data-driven insights are often key to creating tangible customer value.

To secure long-term profitable growth over a business cycle, the Atlas Copco Group has a strong focus on service, speed, and agility. We also aim to have an asset-light balance sheet and a flexible cost base.

We seek to perform more service on a higher share of the installed base of equipment and extend our service offering by giving customers new insights supported by connected products. Speed and agility are achieved through a decentralized leadership model with clear accountability, an outsourced production model, a flexible workforce, continuous scenario planning, and a transparent organization with solid financial follow-up.

We believe in keeping production close to our customers and have production units in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. We continuously strive for improved operational efficiency with a responsible use of resources. This includes continued improved production processes and the development of top-quality and highly efficient products and services for our customers.

Our principle of decentralized responsibility

Atlas Copco Group is a decentralized Group consisting of independent divisions, organized into four business areas. The main role of a business area is to develop leading technology within its business scope and to follow up on objectives and strategies. This also includes people, environmental and social performance. The divisions are our highest operational entities with their own profit responsibility. They are in charge of product development, manufacturing, marketing and sales. Each business area also has one or more dedicated service divisions. The divisions generally conduct business through local customer centers and designated product companies.
