Strategy and Objectives

Social commitment

Business decisions always have an impact on society and the environment – in particular, they affect the regions in which ElringKlinger has production and sales facilities. Corporate responsibility therefore extends beyond the boundaries of the company, no longer relating exclusively to the development and production of technologically advanced products, the preservation of jobs and the enhancement of corporate profits, but also to the socially and environmentally compatible development of regions. For this reason, ElringKlinger actively contributes to the well-being and progress of society, particularly where the Group has a presence. Through targeted projects, ElringKlinger establishes local structures that have a lasting impact – whether through contributions in kind, monetary donations or voluntary work on social projects.

[Translate to English:] Gesellschaftliches Engagement

ElringKlinger exercises its social commitment indirectly through the Lechler Foundation, which is also the main shareholder of ElringKlinger AG. Each year, for example, a portion of the company’s profits flows into the foundation, which exclusively supports charitable associations and institutions involved in child and youth welfare, assistance for the disabled and elderly, healthcare and education.
