Sustainability is an integral part of how we build companies
We see sustainability as a natural part of value creation. When our companies take responsibility for the environment, people, and governance, it strengthens both the business and the trust of customers, employees, and investors. That's why sustainability is integrated into everything we do.
How we work
We don't believe in short-term measures. Sustainability isn't about one-off initiatives – it's about building companies that remain resilient over time and through change.
We work closely with our companies to support them in identifying, developing and following up on their most important sustainability priorities. We believe in the power of small steps with meaningful impact – when insight informs decisions and becomes a natural part of everyday work.
Our ambition is simple: that every company in Priveq's portfolio integrates sustainability as a natural part of its strategy and leadership.

Three strong examples from our companies
FrostPharma
FrostPharma is an entrepreneur-led pharmaceutical company creating medicines and healthcare products that meet real, clearly defined needs. Sustainability is closely woven into how the company operates. In recent years, FrostPharma has established a new ESG agenda, updated its governance framework, and further developed its sustainability initiative, Woodsafe.
Lamiflex
Lamiflex develops packaging solutions for the steel, aluminium, and cable industries. The company offers circular solutions as well as solutions that reduce workplace accidents, waste, and the carbon footprint of its customers. The company continues to work actively on creating and developing recycling systems, increasing the use of recycled materials, and developing a climate plan based on Scope 1–3 emissions.
Frontit
Frontit is a management consultancy with a clear ambition: to make both people and organisations more sustainable. Focusing on four ESG areas; employees, customers, business and society, the company has taken a structured and long-term approach to sustainability.
Our climate work
We reduce our climate impact both through our everyday choices and through long-term responsible decision-making. In the office, we choose renewable electricity and prioritize trains or electric cars when possible, and climate-compensate for our travel. With clear targets for emissions across Scope 1–3, we also support our portfolio companies in measuring, tracking, and reducing their emissions. That is where we have our greatest impact.
Our own initiative – the ESG Award
Priveq annually presents an award to the portfolio company that has made the greatest progress in sustainability over the past year. In addition to honor, the winner receives a check that is presented to a charity or non-profit organization of their choice. The first winner was announced in spring 2022.
