We are convinced that there are good opportunities for continued organic growth and improved profitability. We continue to invest long-term to strengthen our delivery capacity and product development. The commitment to a good indoor environment and technical innovation are central driving forces in our business, supported by global climate goals and directives in energy saving.”
