Annual Report 2023 - Enduring ownership

Dedication to our shared purpose

The Ramboll Foundation’s primary purpose is to be owner of Ramboll Group A/S and further Ramboll’s continuance and development through active ownership. As a Danish enterprise foundation, the Foundation operates independently of any other interests than those listed in the Foundation’s Charter.

In accordance with the Foundation’s Charter, the Foundation also donates to research, development, and education within the areas where Ramboll is active. Further, via our philanthropic obligations, the Foundation donates to humanitarian efforts and emergency relief, as well as offering support to Ramboll employees who find themselves in financial stress situations for reasons beyond their control.

In 2023, the Foundation’s donations amounted to a total of DKK 28m to 69 projects, a DKK 7m increase from 2022 and the highest amount ever donated by the Foundation.

During 2023, the Ramboll Foundation continued the work we started last year increasing our capacity to pursue our purpose and articulating our strategic ambition.

Looking back at 2023, we are very pleased with the increased focus we have had on employee engagement and empowerment. We established Flourish, a new global social impact programme with Ramboll, and we continue to see great commitment in our other employee interactions, including the Foundation Advisory Forum. The mutual dedication to our shared values and purpose is key to taking the foundation ownership of Ramboll a step further going forward when we implement our new strategic direction for the Foundation.
