Helping with Hands

Being a family business, we believe that true success also means giving back - to society, to nature, and to future generations. Already back in 2016 the Barenbrug Helping with Hands Foundation was launched, an initiative funded by the Barenbrug family. The foundation is a public benefit institution (PBI), which aims to support charitable projects in the field of environment, education, culture and sports, aligning with our views on sustainable business and corporate social responsibility. 

Employees may submit a wide range of charitable projects to the Foundation’s board for approval and a financial contribution when needed. For each project it is a condition that a physical and active contribution of a team of five or more Barenbrug employees is needed, hence the “Helping Hands”. Every Barenbrug employee, anywhere in the world, may take one working day per year of paid leave to devote to a Helping with Hands project. Over the past years many projects across the world have already been completed with the help of enthusiastic Barenbrug employees.
