Family ownership
An active and engaged ownership is about being guardians of how the Kirk Kristiansen family enterprises do business.
To ensure a continued active and engaged family ownership, the Kirk Kristiansen family decided that in each generation one person should be taking the role as the most active owner. The most active owner will, on behalf of the whole family, be close to the LEGO Group, the LEGO Foundation, LEGO Education and KIRKBI. The family agreed that Thomas Kirk Kristiansen should assume this role in the fourth generation.
Furthermore, the family agreed that all owners in each generation are engaged and responsible shareholders as well as ambassadors and culture carriers of the family’s core values. All owners are engaged in different ways in the business of the LEGO Group, KIRKBI and the associated foundations – acting as members of the Board or undertaking representative duties.
