Foundation

Commitment to a sustainable future.

Throughout his life, Michael Zajadacz was particularly committed to his employees, his environment and society. In 2001, he established the charitable Adalbert Zajadacz Foundation. It is the sole shareholder of the Zajadacz Group.
‍
Michael Zajadacz has thus given lasting expression to his social responsibility. After all, one of the foundation's main tasks is to use the profits generated by the group of companies to promote charitable projects in various areas of our society. Today, the Adalbert Zajadacz Foundation forms the core of the company's social and charitable conscience.
