Siegwerk is committed to social projects worldwide
Sustainability
Our activities in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) focus on disadvanteged children and young people.
Commitment to society is part of the core values of Siegwerk. This is what the family stands for, centered around Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Alfred Keller, representing the sixth-generation of owners of Siegwerk. This relates not only to a strong feeling of responsibility for our own employees, but has also always applied to the immediate neighborhoods around our locations. For generations, the family has especially had the wellbeing of children at heart and has long been involved in local schools and orphanages. Parallel to the internationalization of Siegwerk, this social commitment has been extended to our global subsidiaries.
In addition to multiple local activities, in 2010, Siegwerk began a close partnership with SOS Children’s Village worldwide which is a non-governmental organization focused on supporting children without parental care and families at risk. Together we support relevant projects worldwide. We call these our Lighthouse Projects.
In 2018, Siegwerk became a partner in the YouthCan! initiative of SOS - the global partnership for youth employability to promote decent work for young people without parental care or at risk of losing it.
In general, we always support projects around our locations, so that our employees can get involved in their local communities.
