Dürr Group donates 65,000 euros at Christmas

Bietigheim-Bissingen, December 17, 2024 — The Dürr Group is donating 65,000 euros to charitable organizations this Christmas. 30,000 euros each will go to UNICEF for children’s aid projects in South Africa and Vietnam and to Aktion Mensch, a charity that promotes a more inclusive society in Germany. In addition, an aid project run by the Stuttgarter Nachrichten newspaper is supported. In this way, the company is continuing its practice of previous years and, true to the motto “Donations instead of gifts”, is once again foregoing Christmas presents for customers and business partners.

Dr. Jochen Weyrauch, CEO of Dürr AG: “As a technology leader, we drive innovation every day. However, in addition to technological progress, a sustainable society also requires improvements in social areas. That is why we regularly support the work of charitable organizations through donations. With this year’s Christmas donation to UNICEF, we want to help improve the living conditions of children in South Africa and Vietnam. At the same time, we support important inclusion projects in Germany through the Aktion Mensch charity to enable people with disabilities to lead a self-determined life.” The Dürr Group is also contributing 5,000 euros to the “Aktion Weihnachten” Christmas campaign. The charity campaign of the Stuttgarter Nachrichten newspaper helps people in the Stuttgart region who are experiencing social hardship.

About UNICEF

UNICEF is active in over 190 countries worldwide. For more than 75 years, the United Nations Children’s Fund has been using effective programs and political work to ensure that children are well cared for, can go to school and are protected from violence. One part of the Dürr Group’s donation will be used for an educational program for girls from South Africa to give them an insight into the professional fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. With the other part, a project for the installation of solar systems in rural Vietnam will be supported in order to improve the energy and water supply for the families living there and at the same time to contribute to climate protection.

About Aktion Mensch

For 60 years, Aktion Mensch has been committed to an inclusive society, where people with and without disabilities live together as a matter of course. At the heart of the charitable organization is a social lottery that has already distributed more than five billion euros to social projects throughout Germany. Aktion Mensch also provides information on the topic of inclusion through campaigns and activities.
