At alimex, we take the social responsibility as part of the society in which we operate as a company seriously. In-house, we support young people in starting careers - class winners as well as teenagers from a disadvantaged social background. For example, alimex have supported internships for learners at Peter-Ustinov-School in Mönchengladbach for years in order to give them an impression what the working world is like. Of course, inquiries from pupils in other schools are also welcome. Cooperation with universities is well-established. Degree dissertations have been overseen in our company for years.

But our definition of social responsibility requires even more engagement... 

The mission of the 520 SOS facilities such as vocational training centres, schools and kindergartens is to support children and adolescents who live in areas hit hard by war, environmental disasters or severe poverty. Worldwide, more than 100,000 boys and girls attend classes in one of the 193 SOS schools.

So that children in Ghana can lay the foundation for a life without poverty, alimex has decided to give them a chance to attend school. It is our contribution to society instead of handing out Christmas presents to our customers.

We are glad to announce that alimex donated an entire classroom for a new school in Ghana. Soon, more than 500 children will "hit the books" on the tables and chairs donated by us.

Commitment, courage and conviction is what drives Cooperative Beschützende Arbeitsstätten e.V. (Protective Workplaces Association) in Munich. The organisation develops workplaces for employees with disabilities and supports them in their right to a job and their desire to have their skills acknowledged. There are various partner companies who provide such a work environment.
