Huge commitment to voluntary work worldwide

Hettich supports charitable projects to the tune of € 59,500

Across the globe, colleagues from Hettich operating bases have been involved in various projects within the "Hettich Ehrenamt 2022" volunteering campaign. Each receiving funding worth € 500, the Hettich Group has helped no fewer than 119 projects in Germany, the Czech Republic, Australia and the United Kingdom, making out donation cheques totalling € 59,500. Of this, € 37,000 alone went to projects in Germany which involve Hettich colleagues.

Hettich colleague Ursula Kreitschmann from Vlotho is involved in the Kalletal Erder children's fire brigade as the group's youth leader/supervisor. Among other things, the young people there are familiarised with the objects found onboard a fire engine, practise first aid and are taught about potential hazards, such as faulty power cables. The funding from Hettich will be spent on a smoke house in aid of fire safety education. Photo: Hettich

Anyone working at Hettich can apply for funding in aid of projects they do voluntary work for. Funding in the amount of € 500 go to projects related to social matters, education, science, nutrition, exercise, culture and the environment.

"We are absolutely delighted to have once again been able to give meaningful support to numerous projects within our 'Hettich Ehrenamt' volunteering campaign. The tremendous amount of positive feedback we have had from associations, clubs and societies shows we are making a valuable contribution," says Laura-Sophie Putschies, Corporate Communications at Hettich.
Since the "Hettich Ehrenamt" volunteering campaign was launched to mark the company's 125th anniversary in 2013, over 1,200 projects have already received funding of no less than € 700,000.
