About Us
Hinrich Foundation was established with the mission to promote sustainable global trade. It advances its objective by fostering international trade policy research, supporting trade related education and training, and cultivating export led job creation.
Merle A. Hinrich founded the foundation on the belief that sustainable global trade promotes peace between nations. As founder, chief executive officer and now executive chairman of trade media company Global Sources, Mr. Hinrich has dedicated his life and the activities of the company to advancing sustainable global trade.
Through the endeavors of the Hinrich Foundation, we are able to extend his lifelong work in trade and human-development into areas best served by a philanthropic organization.
