In the current year alone, Hettich colleagues have been involved in 133 different projects worldwide. The Hettich Group supported voluntary work in Germany, the Czech Republic, Australia, England and Spain with 500 euros per project and issued donation cheques totalling 66,500 euros.

"Many colleagues at Hettich worldwide are involved in social projects on a voluntary basis alongside their work. We would like to express our appreciation to all of them for dedicating their free time to various activities in the social sector and have therefore been supporting this commitment since 2013," says Jana Schönfeld, Managing Director of the Hettich Group.

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.

The diversity of the commitment is reflected in the support for children and youth projects, help for the sick and those in need of care, support for local clubs, rescue services and sporting institutions. "Hettich volunteering is more than just supporting projects, because it means that we at Hettich care for others. We receive a lot of positive feedback from the organisations we support, which shows that we are making a valuable contribution," says Laura-Sophie Fuchs, Corporate Communications at Hettich.

The Hettich Group is reaffirming its commitment to voluntary work and emphasising that it will continue to invest in social projects even in difficult economic times. The company is thus sending a clear signal for sustainable social responsibility. "We look forward to continuing to support the diverse commitment of our colleagues within the framework of Hettich Ehrenamt in the future and thus making a sustainable contribution to society," emphasises Schönfeld.
