Stable and long-term ownership
In order to ensure that the Olav Thon Group and its underlying organisations retain a stable and long-term ownership and in accordance with the business management principles adopted by Olav Thon, the Olav Thon Foundation was established in 2013.
The foundation is also a way for the Olav Thon Group to share its values with society.
"It is important to me that the Olav Thon Group is managed in the best possible way in the future, so that the business provides safe workplaces for all employees, and at the same time can work for the charitable causes that I want to support and for society at large."
