compañía que no persigue/pone el énfasis la posesión de activos


Explanation:
....ejercitamos nuestros principios éticos así como medioambientales por medio de una cuidadosa selección de subcontratistas convenientes que se ajusten a nuestros objetivos en cuanto a medioambiente y calidad

Hi Rikke,
every company has assets, they can be more or less in quantity or in quality.
In this case we understand the co. does not have a lot of tangible assets, like vessels for instance, but sure they have an office, which, although small, is an asset. Morover, they sure have intangible assets, as the goodwill for instance. That is why I think that we cannot translate by :"que no tiene activos" or "carente de activos". The co. has assets but it is not its goals to build tangible assets...
