I. Introduction
Laudes Foundation (hereafter ‘the foundation’) is an independent foundation and part of the Brenninkmeijer family enterprise. Launched in 2020 to address the climate and inequality crises working with and through the finance, fashion and built environment industries. The foundation builds on the six generations of entrepreneurship and philanthropy and stands next to the COFRA businesses and the family’s other private philanthropic activities, including Porticus, Good Energies, and Argidius Foundations.
