Mission

The Foundation's objectives are to promote qualified leaders in public authorities and government worldwide; to combat corruption at all levels and to promote ethics in private and business life; to combat malnutrition, child mortality, and contaminated food and water in developing countries; to improve holistic education, primarily in developing countries; and to promote environmental causes such as rainforest protection, sustainable organic farming, and the restoration/maintenance of ecological balance. To this end, the Foundation may, at its discretion, support foundations, institutions, organizations, projects, and individuals anywhere in the world that are dedicated to one or more of the aforementioned causes. If necessary, it may also support the Geneva-based Fondation Antenna Technologies exclusively and/or with its entire assets; and to support or participate in institutions and operational, commercial companies anywhere in the world with the same purpose. For planned projects, purchase land, including real estate, construct, renovate, expand, and furnish buildings, or adapt existing buildings to best utilize the aid measures. The foundation will strictly adhere to Swiss tax laws and regulations in all its activities. The foundation pursues neither commercial nor self-help purposes.

1957 gründete Henri-Ferdinand Lavanchy (1926–2012) in Genf den Arbeitszeitvermittler Adia Interim. Knapp zwei Jahrzehnte danach holte er Martin Pestalozzi an Bord. Zusammen sorgten sie dafür, dass das Unternehmen aufblühte und weltweit expandierte. Zwölf Jahre später ging die Firma an die Börse, Pestalozzi wurde dank seinem Aktienpaket zum Milliardär. 1996 wurde Adia mit der französischen Ecco zur heutigen Adecco fusioniert. Heute liegt dem 85-jährigen Pestalozzi vor allem seine Pestalozzi Heritage Foundation am Herzen. Der Stiftungszweck ist ungewöhnlich breit: Förderung qualifizierter Führungskräfte in Behörden und Regierungen, Bekämpfung der Korruption, Kampf gegen Mangelernährung, Kindersterblichkeit sowie anderes.
