Sus­tainable value crea­ti­on

Engagement & Projects

We do not see our eco­no­mic suc­cess as an end in its­elf.
Sus­tainable value crea­ti­on pro­vi­des the foun­da­ti­on for social enga­ge­ment, cul­tu­ral diver­si­ty, and sup­port for for­ward-loo­king, inno­va­ti­ve pro­jects.

Our acti­vi­ties focus on initia­ti­ves and pro­jects that bring peo­p­le tog­e­ther, deve­lop crea­ti­ve poten­ti­al, and gene­ra­te las­ting posi­ti­ve momen­tum for our regi­on and bey­ond.

We belie­ve that eco­no­mic pro­gress, cul­tu­ral iden­ti­ty, and social cohe­si­on are not oppo­si­tes, but rein­force one ano­ther.

Cul­tu­ral events crea­te iden­ti­ty, fos­ter dia­lo­gue, and con­nect gene­ra­ti­ons. We sup­port sel­ec­ted pro­jects that make cul­tu­ral diver­si­ty visi­ble and streng­then net­works.

Entre­pre­neu­ri­al thin­king, too, is an important dri­ver of social pro­gress. We sup­port initia­ti­ves and pro­jects that advan­ce inno­va­ti­on, inter­na­tio­nal coope­ra­ti­on, and sus­tainable eco­no­mic deve­lo­p­ment.

  • Eilenburg Skate Park House6 Cloud

    1. March 2025

    What was a dream for many young peo­p­le in Eilen­burg 25 years ago was final­ly rea­li­sed in 2018 by the Eilen­burg branch of the Ger­man Red Cross (DRK). Thanks to num­e­rous sup­port­ers and fun­ding, a hub for BMX, skate­board and inline-ska­­­ting enthu­si­asts was crea­ted on the site of the for­mer bar­racks. We made a dona­ti­on, too, to the dis­trict branch to help fund the con­s­truc­tion of a new con­cre­te struc­tu­re.
