Community involvement and development

In assessing the material issues, the Executive Group Management has made community involvement and development a focus topic. Community involvement and development stands out due to its many aspects. It includes the promotion of education, culture, and sports, as well as support for groups at the edge of social and workplace exclusion. Open, honest, and fair dealings with local and regional administrative authorities are also part of this complex topic. The company’s investments globally for projects in education, culture, sports, and for disadvantaged groups can be done in the form of donations in cash or in kind, as well as vocational training positions or supporting employees in their engagement through voluntary work within the community.
