6.1 Committed to the common good
Supporting charitable goals
Employee engagement
Engaging for the benefit of society comes naturally to HARTMANN, both on a global level and more particularly in the regions where our country organizations and subsidiaries are located. Here, the Company focuses on the areas of health, education, culture, and sport. The drive behind this is also expressed in our brand promise: “Helps. Cares. Protects.”
HARTMANN supports the active local involvement of employees who pass on their knowledge and experience for charitable causes and support people needing help without unnecessary bureaucracy. On the occasion of HARTMANN’s 200th Anniversary in 2018, the Company instigated the “200 good deeds” campaign. As part of the campaign, employees committed their free time to regional institutions and projects such as retirement homes or associations.
Sponsorship and donations
During the coronavirus pandemic, HARTMANN brought together the engagement of its employees under the banner #togetherstronger. The main focus here was to help with health advice, intensive care, and in retirement homes for the elderly.
HARTMANN’s societal commitment is managed locally and takes various forms, depending on location. The country organizations and subsidiaries implement local initiatives independently. The sponsoring and donation process, which is uniformly defined across the Group, ensures that projects and initiatives supported by HARTMANN are aligned with the core values and Compliance regulations. It is important to build strong partnerships and to create added value for HARTMANN employees, for society, and for the respective regions.
Between 2015 and 2018 HARTMANN already set up an international corporate volunteering program in cooperation with the organization CARE. Furthermore, in 2021, the apprentices at our subsidiary in Switzerland took part in several volunteer assignments: Among other things, these served to protect the environment.
#togetherstrong – HARTMANN thanks its employees.
