Press release

Antwerp, Belgium. February 21, 2020: The VGP Foundation, a registered Belgian private foundation founded by VGP, a leading pan-European developer, manager and owner of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial real estate, today announced the appointment of Olaf Tschimpke as new member to its Board of Directors. In his role, Mr. Tschimpke will oversee projects related to the protection of the environment, one the three key areas of focus for the VGP Foundation.

Olaf Tschimpke joins the VGP Foundation's Board following the appointment of Jan Van Geet, CEO of VGP, to the Board of Directors. The foundation was established in 2019 to fund European projects that support child and youth education, the preservation and creation of biospheres as well as the protection of European cultural heritage.

Businesses bear a special responsibility to protect and conserve the environment. At the same time, they have numerous opportunities to make significant contributions. I am keen to leverage my expertise to contribute to the lasting success of projects supported by the VGP Foundation", he added.

The Board of Directors of the foundation decides at its own and full discretion on funding decisions and oversees the implementation.
