PC Rettig & CO Impact

What they do

Tracing its roots back to a tobacco factory founded in 1809, the firm has evolved over two centuries into a diversified holding company. In 2012, the broader Rettig family business split, creating PC Rettig & Co AB in Sweden to manage the Hans von Rettig family's interests. While traditional holdings are in tourism, real estate, and securities, they established "PC Rettig & Co Impact" as a modern venture arm. This arm deploys patient capital into Nordic and European deeptech, sustainability, and climate-focused startups, leveraging the family's deep industrial heritage.

What they look for

The firm's core values are centered around "Enable, Challenge, Commitment, Integrity & Respect, and Sustainable Development." Through PC Rettig & Co Impact, their thesis focuses on using business strategy and patient family capital as levers for environmental change. They believe family businesses are uniquely positioned to lead in open innovation, specifically targeting industrial decarbonization, circular economy, and climate resilience.
