All Egmont’s companies are a part of the Egmont Foundation, because Egmont is a foundation with a dual purpose: to develop media and to support children and young people at risk. The profits we generate are either reinvested or used to help children and young people in Scandinavia.
As an employee in Egmont or any of Egmont's companies, you make it possible to give back to the next generation.
We work to ensure that all young people can complete an education and have a good life. And we focus on four target groups: Vulnerable families with small children, dyslexic children and young people, children and young people placed in care, and poor children and families.
“It is important to me that Egmont is a foundation that gives back to society and helps children.”
Cecilie Brogaard Larsen
“It makes me proud and attest to the fact that you are a part of a unique workplace.”

It is tradition for employees in Story House Egmont in Denmark to gather an afternoon in June and wrap summer presents for children who will be spending their holiday at a crisis centre.
The presents are donated by our companies and count e.g. cinema tickets, books, magazines, and subscriptions for digital content platforms. And they are accompanied by a personal greeting.
Children and young people placed in care are generally lacking behind their classmates. Only every other child in care completes the 9th grade, and only every fifth completes an upper secondary education.
We have initiated and continue to support Learn for Life (Lær for Livet), which is a six-year learning programme for children and young people placed in care. The programme includes e.g. learning camps and mentoring schemes.
After finishing the programme, eight of ten children finish the 9th grade with a diploma. And the same amount continues to an upper secondary education within two years.
