History
The Ramboll Foundation was established in 1971 by the founders of Ramboll - Børge Johannes Rambøll and Johan Georg Hannemann and three other partners. It was their wish to ensure long-term existence of the company for the benefit of the employees. In 1971, it was decided, based on a proposal by Børge Rambøll, that Rambøll & Hannemann would become a limited liability company – owned by a foundation. The Foundation charter states the purpose and obligations of the Ramboll Foundation. The charter has undergone adjustments over the years, and the current version was signed in March 2018.
