GEA once again demonstrates its strong commitment to social responsibility by donating EUR 300,000 to the non-profit organization BILD hilft e.V. annual “Ein Herz für Kinder” (A Heart for Children) charity gala. The donation underscores GEA's ongoing commitment to promoting equal opportunities and creating better living conditions for children worldwide.
In the run-up to the charity gala, reporter Toni paid a visit to Henning Lefert's dairy farm in Ahaus, Germany, for the symbolic handing over GEA’s 300,000 euro check to BILD hilft e.V. "Ein Herz für Kinder." Here she was able to see how milk is produced with the help of state-of-the-art GEA technology, like robotic milking machines. Source: GEA
"At GEA, we believe that as an international engineering company, we have a responsibility to not only provide innovative technologies and sustainable solutions, but also to invest directly in the future of the next generation," said Dr. Nadine Sterley, Chief Sustainability Officer at GEA. "Our contribution to “Ein Herz für Kinder” is therefore not just part of our corporate strategy, but a matter close to our hearts. Because every child deserves a chance – for an education, to participate, for health and for peace. That's why we're happy to donate again this year.
The donation will go to various international projects of the association that aim to improve the lives of children in need, whether through educational initiatives, medical care or as direct aid in crisis situations. BILD hilft e.V. "Ein Herz für Kinder" is known for its comprehensive and sustainable aid projects that benefit children around the world.
GEA is once again one of the major donors to "Ein Herz für Kinder". The company has been involved in various social projects for many years and attaches great importance to long-term partnerships with charitable organizations. Sustainability is the first pillar of the Mission 30 corporate strategy and is fundamental to all decisions made by GEA. This includes promoting integrity and fairness, such as inclusive, equitable and high-quality education for all.
Prior to the fundraising gala, "Ein Herz für Kinder" sent reporter Toni to the dairy farm of Henning Lefert in Ahaus, Germany, for the symbolic handover of the check (Video only available in German language). Here she was able to see for herself how the cows are milked, fed and the barn cleaned with the help of state-of-the-art GEA technology, like milking robots.
