Social Commitment

For us as a family concern awareness of responsibilities is the term that is carried far beyond the company boundaries. With our commitment to health, social welfare and sports, we should also like to send out social signals that represent the tradition and ideals of our company. We not only endeavour do everything in our power for our employees but also to think of our fellow men. For instance, we regularly support social institutions. Our current project is the “Bärenherz” Institute for Seriously Ill Children (www.baerenherz.de).

Another aspect of our social commitment is the promotion of sport and exercise. For instance, we sponsor the local soccer club and also the occasional soccer match has been already been organised with partners and suppliers. Furthermore, we encourage our employees to take part in the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge Company Run in Frankfurt, which is an annual event.

But it is not only sports that make a considerable contribution to health. We therefore encourage our employees to support other health-promoting measures. How does that work? Quite simple: our non-smokers, for example, are rewarded with a bonus! We thank our employees for our daily success – in appreciation of this we like to give something them back.
