“Creating meaningful change is a team effort. We can all take part and make a difference. ”

Letter from Elna-Kathrine Grieg, Chair

“We want to support individuals and people who create a future world in an ethical and morally sustainable manner to the best of all humanity.”

Per Grieg sr.

2002 -

Our foundation was established in Bergen by the Grieg family in 2002 and derives from a long and proud maritime tradition which began with Joachim Grieg’s shipbroking firm in Bergen in 1884. The Grieg Group is a familiy owned group, where the Grieg family owns 75% of the Grieg Group and Grieg Foundation owns 25%.

The Grieg Group adopts technology and knowledge-sharing to drive a change both in business and the societies in which they operate. Their business is based on long-term partnerships, creating value within shipping, ship broking, maritime services & port operations, seafood, investments and finance.

For generations, the Grieg family has been conscious of leaving footprints, by giving back, by supporting humanitarian, social and cultural aspects of life. They are committed to improving the lives of future generations through the support of projects and initiatives that create a meaningful change for individuals and communities.
