What we do
Life has been good to us - and we are grateful for that.
We would therefore like to give a little more back to humanity in the long term and have set up a charitable foundation to do so. We have ensured that the endowment fund is properly endowed, and further endowments and donations are of course possible, desired and planned at any time.
The foundation pursues goals beyond our lifespan.
Purpose of the foundation

Background
We bear responsibility for future generations.
The 1987 Brundtland Report states:
“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without risking that future generations will not be able to meet their own needs.”
We are using up the earth’s fossil resources at a breathtaking rate. We release in a short period of time the amount of carbon that the Earth has stored in millions of years. This cannot go well. This is anything but sustainable.
