The greater Eurofins’ success, the greater its opportunity to give back to society. Since the early days of Eurofins’ growth, its companies have taken on a philanthropic responsibility to raise funds for and awareness of worthwhile causes, both internationally and in their local areas.

Some of the charitable links that Eurofins maintains today were formed some twenty years ago! From the early 2000s, Eurofins companies have made impactful contributions towards philanthropic causes. The first donations made by Eurofins went to medical research foundations, social service organisations, cultural institutions, and schools - several of which Eurofins has continued to support in the long-term, including ProGreffe and Plan International, among others.

In 2017, to mark the 30th anniversary of Eurofins, this spirit of giving back was recognised by a significant gesture: Eurofins donated one million euros to 40 charities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), selected at the recommendation of its employees. These donations inspired a long-term vision among employees, leaders and founders of Eurofins companies, who wanted to commit to consistent philanthropic efforts. Thus, the decision was taken to formalise a charitable channel within Eurofins, and in 2019, the Eurofins Foundation was born.

The Eurofins Foundation aligns itself with the commitments of all Eurofins companies by supporting projects that aim to make a real difference to the safety, health, and equality of societies and the environment, from facilitating access to clean water and sanitation, to protecting our ecosystems. The selection of causes chosen for support is driven by the values close to the hearts of Eurofins employees across the network: often, the organisations are not only active in the local communities where they live and work, but many organisations are actually nominated to the Eurofins Foundation by these very employees, who are passionate about making a positive impact in their local communities.

In 2022-2023, the Eurofins Foundation is donating to more than 80 projects, renewing its long-term support for several organisations and establishing new relationships with other organisations, too. On the occasion of Eurofins’ 35th anniversary, and five years since it ramped up its philanthropic efforts, six of these organisations have shared an insight into the tangible impact that Eurofins’ funding has on their activities and the role their work plays in creating a healthier, more advanced, and fairer society.
