Dürr Group supports UNICEF with donation

Press Release Dec 7, 2021

Bietigheim-Bissingen, December 7, 2021—In line with its motto ‘Donations instead of presents’, the Dürr Group will not be giving Christmas presents to customers or business partners again this year and will, instead, be donating €50,000 to the children’s charity UNICEF. The money will benefit the worldwide nutrition programs of the UN aid agency.

“Being a world-leading mechanical and plant engineering firm, we carry a particular social responsibility,” explains Ralf W. Dieter, CEO of Dürr AG. “That’s why we have always supported various social projects and organizations through donations. It is especially around Christmas that we want to help children in need and give them a chance for a better future.”

In addition, the Dürr Group will once again participate in the ‘Aktion Weihnachten’ Christmas campaign run by the ‘Stuttgarter Nachrichten’ newspaper by making a €2,000 donation. This charity campaign provides financial support to people in need in the Stuttgart region whose lives have been knocked off course by illness, unemployment, or family problems.
