Distribution of Lauritzen Fonden's assets:

As parent company of J. Lauritzen A/S (100 % owned), DFDS A/S (43 % owned) and LF Investment ApS (100 % owned) and as a commercial foundation our task can be divided into two: 1) maintaning and running our subsidiaries. 2) granting financial support to humanitarian and social projects. Thus we are not like the traditional humanitarian foundation only focusing on philantrophy. Our assets are, as depicted in the chart above, primarily bound up in stocks from our subsidiaries. The profit from these investments determine the amount of which we distribute grants from.
