entrepreneurship
Acting conscientiously
The foundation in figures
What are our focal areas? What’s the story with growth and funding? Together with experts, the Haniel Foundation reviews its work and its strategic focus every five years. Good foundation practice includes transparency, clear and binding operating principles and the publishing of our principles.
Far-sighted action
Founding company
Acting with foresight and taking social aspects into account – this is a principle that the grandchild of the company founder Franz Haniel was already pursuing in order to increase the value of the company and to take on social responsibility.
Promoting change and exchange
Events
With the »Haniel Lecture«, started in 1993, and the »Haniel Circle«, founded in 2007, the Haniel Foundation is proactively addressing social exchange and change.
‘Strengthening future managers and the image of entrepreneurs within society’
Promoting future generations
The Haniel Foundation stands for value-oriented entrepreneurship – out of a sense of tradition and conviction. Focusing on sustainable ideas and creative approaches to societal change, we promote talented up-and-coming managers.
Qualifications for working internationally
Haniel Scholarship Program
The German students who qualify for a Haniel scholarship from the study foundation each year are given the perfect preparation for a future in an international company. This gives them the opportunity to then embark on business-related postgraduate studies at leading universities around the world.
Shaping change
Willy Brandt School of Public Policy
A business mindset and application-oriented analytical methods are in demand not only in the private sector. They are also used by decision makers in not-for-profit organizations, who thus promote sociopolitical change. The Haniel Foundation has therefore been lending its support to the Willy Brandt School of Public Policy since the school was founded.
