In June 2016 Mercuri Urval (MU) was donated to the foundation “Stiftelsen Mercuri Urval” by its original founders and owners. Since that date, and in perpetuity, the foundation is the main owner of MU.
The statutes settled for Stiftelsen Mercuri Urval set the foundations priorities to reassure the sustainability and long-term survival of MU. The foundation appoints the board of Mercuri Urval (the Company Board) and provide owner´s directives that frame MU’s development according to the statutes. The foundation board also appoints shareholding partners in Mercuri Urval. Read more about MU, and our organisation.
