We are committed.
We consider the social responsibility of business, also SMEs, as indispensable. This is the cornerstone for value-oriented and sustainable company management. We are involved in selected children’s charities and recruit new supporters among our staff, customers and partners. In addition, we support privately organised aid campaigns for children in developing countries with donations of money and goods.2007, relief supplies donated to UNICEF: We participated with 100,000 antibiotics. UNICEF staff support the cause of children in over 150 countries, also in the poorest and most remote and war-torn regions and help protect them against aggression, exploitation and abuse – irrespective of a child’s skin colour or religion or in which political system it grows up.
We support the promotion group "Die Schwestern Maria" – Help for children from slums e.V. [registered association]. The Sisters of Mary look after displaced slum children in overpopulated mega cities. They run hospitals, homes, schools and training workshops in Korea, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil and the Philippines. “The Sisters of Mary” is one of the small circle of aid organisations distinguished with the dzi [the German Central Institute for Social Issues] seal of approval. The aid organisation now looks after more than 22,000 children!
In 2005, the true extent of the earthquake catastrophe in northern Pakistan was completely underestimated in the wake of the tsunami catastrophe. For ten thousands of children it was a matter of bare survival. With the campaign “Bring the children through the winter!” UNICEF urgently appealed for donations! We spontaneously dispensed with the usual Christmas presents and followed the donation appeal. Many employees, relatives and business friends followed suit.
Donation and appeal for the Hänsel + Gretel Foundation to promote child protection in schools: Since its foundation in 1997, the Hänsel + Gretel Children’s protection projects have offered direct aid for abused children, but also in working on structures and improving the lobby for children.
We support the work of pro familia a religiously unaffiliated association offering assistance in family planning, partnership and pregnancy conflict counselling, dedicated to the interests of women, men, youngsters and children since 1952. In 170 counselling centres, people of all religions and nationalities obtain qualified advice on a factual and personal level. Specific offerings for migrant families – an increasingly important subject in our society
What else we do:
Support for private projects and industry-specific relief campaigns, such as "Dentists for India". We help by way of material donations, e.g. in “Direct fitting of hearing aids for hard of hearing children in Pakistan”. Furthermore, we assist the helpers in overcoming formalities, e.g. transport procedures.
