All the activities engaged in by the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, from the time of its establishment up to the present day, were funded exclusively by the profits of the Business Foundation, which have been achieved thanks to the hard work, clear-sightedness and good planning of its presidency assisted by the board of directors.
The Business Foundation engages in different activities, of which shipping traditionally remains the most significant, continuing the tradition of its founder Aristotle Onassis, who was, according to Lloyds List shipping newspaper, the most important figure in shipping enterprise in the 20th century.
