Pivosto invests steadily and responsibly.
History
Pivosto owns approximately 10% in the shares of Cargotec Corporation, and its roots trace back to Cargotec’s inception in 2005 when Kone Corporation was split into two separate publicly traded companies, Cargotec and the new Kone. Since its establishment, Pivosto (formerly its predecessor D-Sijoitus) has engaged in active securities investment and gradually expanded its holdings. Today, it is particularly focused on the circular economy, and alongside its stock holdings, it has capital and fund investments.
Circular economy
Circular economy is an economic system aimed at ensuring that the economy operates within the limits of environmental sustainability. This is achieved by keeping materials and products in circulation for as long as possible while maintaining their value. Circular economy solutions can enhance biodiversity, facilitating the transition to a world where production and consumption are based on services rather than ownership. Circular economy has multiple dimensions, which can be categorized into five groups: product as a service, sharing platforms, renewability, extending product life cycles, and resource efficiency.
Impact investing
One of Pivosto’s key themes in its investment activities is impact. Therefore, we are looking for investments that not only offer financial returns but also have significant positive effects, for example, on the environment and society. Pivosto is involved in Credit Suisse’s Asia Impact Investment Fund, which aims to improve living conditions for the poorest population in Asia.
