Statutory report on foundation governance

Each year, the Foundation publishes a statutory report on foundation governance covering the previous year.

• Statutory report on Foundation Governance regarding 2023 (March 2024)

Good governance gives the Foundation peace to work and fulfil our primary purposes of taking good care of Grundfos and supporting philanthropic activities. But it is not just something we have to do. We genuinely believe that good governance makes us better at what we do.

Good governance helps us ensure that our Board of Directors stays professional and independent, and that we have the right combination of skills and experience.

Strategic focus makes day-to-day decision-making and follow-up simpler. Execution will be more efficient when there is a clear ambition for the Foundation’s work.
