On September 14th, 2006, Eternit created a foundation to financially support the employees of the Swiss plants of Payerne and Niederurnen which are ill due to asbestos, as well as their family. This institution is rejected by a Swiss association of asbestos victims. (Ref 061067)
The indemnity will be paid by the foundation to the employees or ex-employees of Eternit who develop diseases linked to asbestos, particularly cancer, or to their family. « We could also pay benefits to persons who have never worked at Eternit, says a leader of the firm who will also chair the foundation, as long as their illness is objectively linked to the sites of Niederurnen or Payerne. » The Stiftung Eternit-Werke Schweiz foundation will receive a subsidy from Eternit Switzerland : 800 000
