The press release also serves as a way to outline the LEGO Foundation’s goals by 2032. These include the transformation of educational systems, reaching children around the world including those in situations of crisis and giving children access to more learning opportunities in the communities where there are LEGO factories, offices and stores.

For those who need a reminder, the LEGO Foundation owns 25% of the LEGO Group and uses a portion of the profits made from selling sets and other products to help further their goals.
