Corporate Volunteering
At the sixth “Day of Caring” 120 employees from Daimler Financial Services (DFS) and Mercedes-Benz Bank renovated Berlin’s KREATIVHAUS.
DFS employees have been supporting charitable projects worldwide since 2006. This traditionally entails active personal involvement in addition to financial support for the projects. In 2011 the employees demonstrated practical commitment to the KREATIVHAUS in the Berlin-Mitte district. This institution has been a center of social and cultural encounter for the residents of the high-rise neighborhood and the surrounding area for many years. | ||||||||||
Educational courses and group projects, theatrical and musical performances are offered on a daily basis for all age groups. However, public funding is barely sufficient for the implementation of this ambitious program. More than a hundred volunteers therefore rolled up their sleeves at Berlin’s KREATIVHAUS to help. Daimler Financial Services donated the materials and the activity of its employees.
Klaus Entenmann, President and CEO of DFS, stressed the importance of the “Day of Caring” as an expression of the company’s values: “It is our aim not just to do good business, but also to demonstrate social responsibility and to generate enthusiasm among our employees. This also includes showing commitment to such projects not only with donations, but also with actions.”
