Employee-owners

In our opinion, the value of a contracting company depends very much on its structure and its employees. The involvement of its employees as shareholders is therefore an important and positive element in the development of the company.

Veidekke and employee ownership

A share-purchasing scheme has been developed to ensure that as many employees as possible hold shares in Veidekke ASA. This scheme gives employees the opportunity to buy Veidekke shares at a discount on the market price. Veidekke’s aim is to see at least half of its employees holding shares in the company with a total ownership share of about 15 per cent. It is desirable that people in senior management positions each hold a significant number of shares in the company.
