The Fabrikant Mads Clausen Foundation supports Children of the World

The Fabrikant Mads Clausen Foundation was established on Christmas Eve 1960, when Danfoss founder, Mads Clausen decided to formalise his charitable activities.

The purpose of the Foundation is to grant charitable donations and over the past years, considerable support has been granted for many different purposes, in particular for acitvities in the local community surrounding the headquarters in Nordborg.

The Foundation is a cornerstone of Danfoss’ social responsibility towards the local areas where Danfoss operates, and as Danfoss expands and becomes more global the grant recipients have also increased to include Danfoss’ other locations in and outside Denmark.

Support for Children of the World

In 2008, the Fabrikant Mads Clausen Foundation donated 50,000 DKK, to build a children’s village in the federal state of Tamil Nadu in India, where the Danfoss India headquarters are located.

The construction and running of the children’s village is funded by the Danish relief organisation Verdens Børn (Children of the World), and the recipient of the donation from the Fabrikant Mads Clausen Foundation. In poor regions of India girls are not always as valued, and many poor parents leave their newborn baby girls in backyards in the cities or in desolate places in the countryside.

In the children’s village, the orphaned girls are given food, care and medical help and begin school when they are old enough.

Corporate Citizenship

Danfoss’ overall goal within Corporate Citizenship is "keeping our own house in order".
This applies to employees, so that they have an attractive workplace and a healthy work-ing environment. It applies to the environment, where Danfoss products contribute to energy savings, and where the environmental impact of their production is constantly being reduced.
And it applies, in a broad sense, to social and ethical responsibility.
Efforts are continually being intensified, because when employee satisfaction is high, consumption of resources is as low as possible, and the company’s ethics and reputation are good, the result is a positive effect on the accounting bottom line.
