Hellmann Helps – in Germany and worldwide

[ December 5, 2024   //   Chris Lewis ]

The Mission to Marsh project to renature wetlands in Germany is among the 14 social and ecological schemes worldwide that will be supported by the ‘Hellmann Helps’ campaign in the coming year – to the tune of €80,000.  

Employees of the global forwarder were invited to submit project suggestions ideas in which they could volunteer and have a positive impact on the environment. Schemes supported include renovation of a school library in Cambodia, purchase of school materials and food supplies for children in Sri Lanka and training courses for women from ethnic minorities in Costa Rica to enable them to enter the job market. In Hellmann’s home country, Germany, young refugees from war and crisis zones are to be supported in order to help them deal with their traumatic experiences. Hellmann Helps also finances tree planting campaigns in Atlanta and Mexico.

Chairman of the board of the Hellmann Helps Association, Martin Eberle, commented: “We are impressed by the number and quality of the ideas submitted. This shows once again how many committed people there are in the Hellmann Family and beyond who are involved on a voluntary basis and thus make an important contribution to our shared vision. A big thank you to all participants for their great approaches and initiatives.”
