SOCIAL COMMITMENT

OUR REGION. OUR SUPPORT.

Local engagement is a matter close to our hearts. As a medium-sized company, we have a special bond with our region and its people. That is why we support and promote sport, society and culture in our homeland.

Sport plays a major role here, because our private hearts are also attached to it. Team sport in particular strengthens togetherness, the feeling of togetherness. This is exactly what we want to achieve as a sponsoring partner of the local sports clubs.

But engagement is also important to us where it gets quieter. In the social area we want to help those who do good for other people every day.

For this reason, we have been supporting the senior afternoon of Geretsried Forest Summer and the work of the Young Wings Foundation in Munich, which takes care of grieving children, young people and adults, for many years .
