Commitment to sustainability

Funded projects

Artificial reefs preserve living seas

We support the rrreefs e.V. association in rebuilding coral reefs and protecting these special marine ecosystems. Using innovative clay structures created by 3D printers, the rrreefs team generates new habitats for marine life.

Stopping plastic pollution of the oceans

We support the everwave foundation gGmbH with our donation in efficiently protecting our oceans and the environment from plastic waste. The cleanup projects on rivers rely on artificial intelligence, research and prevention work.

Science meets innovation and engagement

We cooperate with the Berlin Falling Walls Foundation – a unique platform that brings together thought leaders, emerging talent and leaders from the worlds of science, business and society.

Enabling mobility around the world

We play our part in enabling people in rural communities of the global south to participate in society and enjoy better educational opportunities. With these goals in mind, we donate to World Bicycle Relief. The international aid organisation mobilises people through the "Power of Bicycles".

Restoring seagrass meadows on a large scale

We support SEADS, and with it, an innovative technology: the first autonomous harvesting robot for seagrass seeds. Developed by the student team at Enactus Münster, this technology helps to efficiently restore and cultivate seagrass meadows. In doing so, the project makes an important contribution to coastal protection and climate action.

School forests for climate action

Climate action made tangible: We support the Stiftung Zukunft Wald (Foundation Future Forest) in creating school forests where children and young people can explore nature, shape ecosystems and take active steps against climate change.

Shaping the future of society

With our donation, we are helping the Enactus association in Hanover to solve global, social and ecological problems through entrepreneurial action. The team makes an important contribution to the sustainable development of society.

Restoring forest ecosystems

We support the association Bergwaldprojekt e. V. with our donation. The association is actively involved Germany-wide in protecting, preserving and caring for forests. In 2022 it was honoured as a UN Decade Project as part of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

Protection of the moors

With our donation we help the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) of Lower Saxony to preserve existing moorland as functioning ecosystems and thereby support an important preventive measure. This is because moors are at the same time species-rich habitats and effective carbon sinks.
