Argidius : Business founded by Arnold and his brother Egidius
Argidius was established in 1956 as a philanthropic initiative by the Brenninkmeijer family business owners. Its founders, Arnold and Egidius Brenninkmeijer, created Argidius in the spirit of the success of the family business, global retailer C&A, which had grown from small beginnings in the nineteenth century to become a major employer worldwide. Argidius·Äô mission was to encourage entrepreneurship and help small businesses grow and create jobs, with the goal to tackle deep-rooted poverty challenges.
After supporting a number of social causes throughout the ·Äò60s and ·Äò70s, Argidius·Äô first significant breakthrough came in the ·Äò80s, when its new chair, Anthony Brenninkmeijer, spotted the potential for a pioneering micro-loan scheme to support livelihoods and microbusinesses.
Since the mid-2000s, Argidius has focused on supporting small and medium-sized businesses, both as agents of formal employment growth and productivity and as an important driver of emerging economies·Äô overall growth. Improved results monitoring and evaluation show that many thousands of jobs have been directly created as a result.
