The foundation annual accounts are audited by an independent accounting firm.

Financials and alignment.

The foundation is funded by five founding partners: Greenland Ventures, Greenland Ruby A/S, Rana Gruber, LNS Greenland and Hartmann’s. Distribution of assets will leave the foundation through distribution in accordance with the objective laid down in the charter.

Greenland Ruby A/S and founding member Hartmann’s became a sponsor as well and will each donate a percentage of sales revenues outside Greenland to the PinkPolarBear foundation. Number of other sponsors will grow in time.

It is also foreseen that the PinkPolarBear Foundation becomes a member of the CSR Greenland organization as well to link further with local society via the Greenland Business Association.
