What we’re made of

Above are the four generations of the Kirk Kristiansen family who’ve owned the LEGO Group from the start. And below are Kjeld and Thomas - the third- and fourth-generation owners.

Since Ole Kirk Kristiansen founded his carpentry business in 1932, the Kirk Kristiansen family have played a leading role in the business. This continues today, with our 4th generation owners. This means that the values, beliefs and traditions that Ole created still guide us today. To set these values in stone, the family created the LEGO® Idea Paper. It describes their fundamental belief that children are our role models. It also sets out our mission, vision, values and promises. As such, it’s the guiding star for everything we do.

Put it all together, and you get our brand framework.
