In 2018 the Hempel Foundation donated a little more than EUR 20 million to 66 different organisations.
Half of that we donated in Denmark. The other half abroad.
We refined our donation strategy so we now have three strategic focus areas in addition to donations by application.
The strategic focus areas are:
