Purpose of the Atlas Copco Group

Our ideas and technology empower our customers to grow and drive society forward. This is how we transform the future.

Circle with the Atlas Copco Core values and in the center the purpose statement

What is the greater value of what we do?

Why is our innovation and technology needed in the world? What is our impact on society, and where do we go from here? This is described in our common purpose statement, covering all companies and brands. Our purpose is to develop ideas and technologies that empower our customers to grow and drive society forward; this is how we transform the future.

 

When we were founded, our very first mission was to make products for the emerging railroad networks that revolutionized communication and trade and pushed the world into a new era. Since then, we have continued to develop solutions that meet real needs. We do it together with our customers, and we have reached many milestones together. Ergonomics, safety and energy efficiency are some areas where we have made a big difference, and still do.

 

How does innovation, interaction and commitment fit in?

These are our company's core values. They guide us in everything we do, including how to fulfill our purpose.

Our focus on innovation, our close interaction with customers, and our commitment to all stakeholders is what creates long-term value and contributes to a better tomorrow.
