Community involvement and development

In assessing the material issues, the Executive Group Management has made community involvement and development a priority topic. This is no coincidence. After all, this topic is more multi-faceted than almost any other. It involves the promotion of education, culture, and sports, as well as the targeted support of disadvantaged groups. Open, honest, and fair dealings with local and regional administrative authorities are also part of this complex of topics. Support for education, culture, sports, or disadvantaged groups can take the form of donations in cash or in kind, as well as vocational training positions or support for employees in their voluntary work within the community.
