Mission
The Kühne Foundation is a family-owned foundation and primarily implements its own projects and programs. It works in four main areas: logistics, medicine, culture, and climate. It mainly works as an operational foundation and pursues its goals less by promoting third parties; instead by primarily initiating, steering and implementing its own projects and programs, sometimes together with partners. This approach is particularly important in the three major areas of logistics, climate action and medicine. Its projects are characterized by a high degree of practical application. The Kühne Foundation manages its projects with a creative and a long term approach, as well as with a high degree of cost awareness and budget discipline in lean structures.
