Stakeholder Policy

What is a stakeholder policy?
A stakeholder policy regulates how and the extent to which a company wishes to interact with its stakeholders within the framework of the law.

Why does Athena Investments A/S have a stakeholder policy?
The Group’s stakeholder policy is a key component of its communications policy.
Optimising stakeholder relations serves the Group’s best interests, and good relations help Athena Investments A/S attract investors, collaboration partners and employees, thus creating value for the Company in the short and long term.

Basis for stakeholder policy
Our stakeholder policy is based on the Group’s business concept.
The business concept of the Athena Investments Group is founded on the Company’s capacity as an energy company that operates wind farms and solar plants, with specific core competencies divided into four key parameters to ensure that the Group is able to accommodate industry demand and requirements.
These four parameters are:
  1. Project evaluation
  2. Management of development processes
  3. Attainment of optimum financing models
  4. Retention of existing collaboration partners

Project evaluation is associated especially with the Group’s ability to analyse projects at an early stage in order to optimise resources for use in feasible and profitable wind turbine projects.
The management of development processes is associated especially with the Group’s ability to stringently manage the project development process, which is often affected by outside factors such as the political environment, financing conditions and the supplier situation.
The attainment of optimum financing solutions is associated especially with the Group’s ability to create innovative/alternative financing models.
The retention of external collaboration partners is associated especially with the Group’s ability to consistently retain and develop close collaborations with local and competent business partners with knowledge in fields such as wind, turbine production and project development.
