New chair to the Ramboll Foundation

Robert Arpe looks forward to the duties of chairman of the Ramboll Foundation:

The foundation does not participate directly in the strategic or operational management of Ramboll but maintains close contact with the Board of Directors and focuses specifically on maintaining the company’s high ethical and professional standards. The Foundation awards grants for both research and non-profit purposes. I am now very much looking forward to continuing this work as chairman of the Foundation” says Robert Arpe and continues: “In 2020, Ramboll will celebrate its 75th anniversary. The strong spirit of the two founders Børge Johannes Ramboll and Johan Georg Hannemann is still very much alive.
