Corporate Social Responsibility at corporate benefits

A high sense of responsibility is one of our corporate values. This includes our employees and business partners as well as society as a whole. While we may not be a larger listed corporation, we still strive to do a lot of good.

We have been committed to the topic of corporate social responsibility since 2017. Every year, corporate benefits supports selected projects with a donation. It is particularly important to us that we create something that lasts, benefiting the recipients well into the future.

It gives us a sense of fulfilment if we can make the world a little bit better every day.

Verifiable impacts

We promote voluntary carbon offsetting projects

How big is corporate benefits’ carbon footprint? In 2023, we voluntarily offset 850 tons of CO2 – which corresponds to 200% of our emissions – by purchasing shares in climate protection projects.
Through this approach, we are contributing to attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The climate protection projects we support focus on topics including clean water, reforestation, producing energy from biomass and fighting poverty in Sierra Leone, Kenya, Uganda and India.

All projects correspond to the Gold Standard and Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). This means they make a verifiable contribution to CO2 reduction efforts and benefit both the local environment and local communities.

Charity projects

Charity at corporate benefits: A deep-rooted passion for good causes

Since 2017, dedicated corporate benefits employees have been overseeing a variety of charitable projects. Particularly touching moments included handing over new toys to the pediatric cancer ward at Charité Berlin and supporting Sonnenhof Berlin children’s hospice.

Our aim is to provide comprehensive support for disadvantaged children, enabling them to access help and support through our three defined pillars: school projects, children’s homes and individual projects.
Sustainability is particularly important to us. When it comes to building playgrounds, for example, we want children to benefit from them for as long as possible. And we don’t just provide financial support – we’re also on the ground to supervise projects in person.

Child and Youth Aid Rwanda (Kinder- und Jugendhilfe Ruanda e.V.) is a particular highlight of our work. The Happy Kids School project enables local children to access adequate school education, free of charge. We’re supporting efforts to expand the school building and also providing funding for teaching staff. In the future, we plan to continue supporting the school’s expansion, adding a library or sports facilities, to consolidate its infrastructure and further enhance pupils’ learning conditions.

We’re working passionately to create a better future for children – locally and internationally.

We are doing our part – nationally and internationally.
