A Legacy Beyond Business

Philanthropy 1998 - Present

Philanthropy has always been an important part of our family business story. Our late founder Hugh Green and his wife Moira established the Hugh Green Foundation (formerly the Hugh Green Charitable Trust) in 1998 as a vehicle to formalise their charitable giving, born out of the family’s deep sense of benevolence, generosity and humanitarianism.

Throughout their lives, Hugh and Moira have been known as generous supporters of many charitable causes, creating a culture within their family and business around assisting those in need.
