The foundation, as a holding foundation, aims to acquire companies, particularly in the fields of food economics, sustainability, and the environment, to further develop such companies, and to derive financial benefits from these companies. Furthermore, the foundation aims to establish and maintain new companies and branches in the future, particularly in the sectors of food economics, sustainability, and the environment, while maintaining the existing purpose of the foundation on a solid basis. The purpose of the foundation is thus not only to preserve and secure the company in the long term but also to expand it through the establishment of new companies and groups, particularly in the fields of food economics, sustainability, and the environment. This also involves protecting the company from takeovers. In exercising its shareholder rights, the foundation shall prioritize the long-term continuation of the company as its goal. The foundation also has the task of ensuring the economic security, continuation, and growth of the companies it acquires, as well as preserving and expanding the character of the company group as a family business. Within the framework of its purpose, the foundation as a holding foundation will acquire companies or company shares throughout Switzerland. This purpose is achieved, among other things, by using both the foundation's assets and its returns for the purpose of the foundation, thereby contributing to the expansion of the company group in the food economics sector of the founder.
