All over the world, our employees are engaged in local or regional community investment initiatives, contributing to the socities in which we live and operate.

Activities in Bonn

For Bonn. In Bonn.

Community investment initiatives

Exemplary community investment initiatives focus on our core programs: GoGreen, GoHelp and GoTeach. They demonstrate how employees are involved in organizing fundraising events, volunteering or by providing logistical support to non-profit partners.

Putting a reliable system in place to track the different types of donations generated by about 500,000 employees working in over 220 countries and territories is a huge undertaking. Nevertheless, we are working to improve our data gathering and reporting in this area. [PwC»] In 2009, we have established an online based system to capture activities, to share information and to report on them. [«]
