Our Beyond Charity Programme
ESSENTIAL FOODS is about much more than profit - although we take great pride in running a successful business. ESSENTIAL FOODS is our founder's vision of a company that can and will make a difference. For dogs and other living beings and their habitat.
In other words we are a purpose driven company, working every day to change the world to being a better place for animals and the nature.
The heart of our charitable activity lies within the ESSENTIAL Charity Program. This expands every year. Our publicly annonced goal is 134.000€ yearly (1.000.000DKK).
