The <strong>Hempel</strong> Foundation<br />

The main purpose of the <strong>Hempel</strong> Foundation is to own,<br />

secure and provide a sound economic basis for the<br />

continued existence and development of the business<br />

carried out by the <strong>Hempel</strong> Group worldwide.<br />

The <strong>Hempel</strong> Foundation also supports charitable projects of<br />

a cultural, humanitarian and scientific nature around the world,<br />

especially if they help meet the world’s environmental and poverty<br />

challenges. To make this contribution as effective as possible,<br />

the Foundation focuses on two key issues: the education of<br />

children in need, and research into environmentally<br />

sustainable solutions for the coating industry.<br />

You can read about other <strong>Hempel</strong> Foundation projects at<br />
