And we are proud to say that it is a part of our DNA. 100 years of giving back to society Through the Egmont Foundation we contribute to creating a better life for vulnerable children and young people in Denmark and Norway. Our charitable activities help them get life skills and acquire learning. The foundation’s work is based on social indignation and empathy. The foundation was founded in 1920 by Egmont Harald Petersen’s wife, Elisabeth, and their children with the aim to alleviate the consequences for children and families living in poverty. Today, our focus is on “modern poverty” and the approx. 15% of young people who are at risk of not completing an upper secondary education.
