New #VoithCares program gets underway: Voith supports 50 social projects worldwide

The #VoithCares program aims to use the selected projects to continue to breathe life into the Voith DNA “developing sustainable technologies for future generations” as a reflection of the company’s commitment to society. As well as educational, environmental and cultural projects, the program supports infrastructure, integration and inclusion measures, and projects to help people in need.

Twenty-six projects in Europe and Africa will now receive €1,000 each. These include a housing project for people with disabilities in Waischenfeld; support for the organization “Heidenheim for Ukraine”; musical culture projects in Heidenheim and Armenia; a center of competence for canine search and rescue in Heidenheim; the construction of a woodworking training workshop in Nepal, and a youth center for educational support in Ghana.

#VoithCares is also supporting nine charitable organization projects in North America and nine in Asia, and another six projects in South America.

The committee, comprising representatives of Voith and the Hanns Voith Foundation, has been inspired by the social commitment of Voith employees and the diverse range of projects nominated by them. “I am very impressed to see how many of our colleagues are involved in volunteering and thus actively demonstrating social responsibility. This made it very difficult to choose,” says Matthias Lindemann, Senior Vice President Corporate Human Resources. Due to the large number of projects and the considerable volunteering efforts of Voith employees, the technology group will continue the #VoithCares program in fiscal 2023/24.

Voith is committed to getting involved in social projects worldwide. As part of its responsibility towards society, therefore, Voith uses its donations and sponsorships to mainly support projects in education and training, science and research, and social welfare. Voith also supports sporting and cultural organizations near its company locations, to help create an attractive living environment for its employees and their families.
