This case presents the unique approach to philanthropy of the Ahlström family. A group of 25 fifth-generation female Ahlström family members founded the Eva Ahlström foundation in 2010, in the name of the family matriarch Eva Ahlström (1848–1920), who was a big contributor to society in her time. This led to the establishment of the Ahlström Collective Impact in 2020. The uniqueness of the Ahlström Collective Impact lies in the power that comes from bringing all entities together under one umbrella, and letting purpose and values be the guiding principles that unite the Ahlström network. The core mission is to inspire, engage and involve everyone – employees and shareholders alike – to create a better understanding of what rights children have, and why and how their realization affects our businesses, our societies and our future.
