Social responsibility is a vital part of Egmont's DNA. Our founder, Egmont Harald Petersen, came from humble beginnings, and he never forgot. To fulfil his last will, his family established the Egmont Foundation in 1920, converting Egmont's life's work and business into a foundation with a dual purpose: to develop media and to support vulnerable children and young people.
Today, we continue to work in a responsible manner, and every year we donate about EUR 13m to charitable activities through the Egmont Foundation, supporting vulnerable children and young people to an education and a good life.
In addition to our charitable activities, we work with responsibility within three focus areas: our company, our employees and our supply chains.
