Social Engagement
Taking responsibility – shaping the future
Success comes with responsibility. As a commercially operating company, we see it as our duty not only to offer high-quality products, but also to make a contribution to the social infrastructure. After all, a strong society is not a certainty – it is created through mutual support.
This is why we are committed to social organisations and initiatives whose work we consider to be particularly valuable. This is not just about regional proximity, but also about the conviction that companies – regardless of their market environment – can and should have a positive influence on social interaction. Those who enjoy economic success should also take responsibility.
With our regular donations and partnerships, we specifically support projects that help people, open up opportunities or strengthen cohesion. For us, sustainable business does not just mean economic growth, but also giving back.
