ABOUT US
ANNUAL AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 - 4
Active markets.
Our relationships with customers are often very long term. It is therefore extra rewarding to see that during the year 125 new customers have chosen to use Prevas to solve their needs, which are often complex and demanding.
Several important events during the year:
Strong operational year with increased sales and profits.
Prevas' strategy with a focus on profitability and growth continued during 2022, with good results. During the year, Prevas' management and Board of Directors have reviewed and set the company's financial goals. See page 18 for more information about the goals.
Employer value proposition and increased equality.
To help retain employees and to attract new employees, during the year we have clarified our Employer Value Proposition (EVP). This also has also led us to publish a new careers page to attract more talent. There is still much to do within equality but we can be satisfied that the trend is going in the right direction.
Uncertain world.
The horrific developments in Ukraine, with so much human suffering as a result of the aggressive invasion, have not affected Prevas as a company to any great degree. Prevas has no employees, partners or customer assignments in Russia or Ukraine. There are also other aspects that create uncertainty for the future, especially with our customers, such as inflation, problems with transport, raw materials, material and semi-conductor components. These are risks that are difficult to assess, and Prevas' strategy to address them is to be as adaptable and dynamic a company as possible.
