A blood donation initiative with VITRONIC and the German Red Cross
Donating blood is more than just a good deed - it saves lives. This simple but powerful message inspired us to open our doors and hold a blood drive together with the German Red Cross.
At VITRONIC, social responsibility is not just a buzzword - it is part of our corporate culture. An impressive example of this is our most recent blood donation initiative, which we organized in collaboration with the German Red Cross (DRK). With the aim of not only saving lives, but also underlining our commitment to a fsustainable future, we showed together what it means to take responsibility as a company.
A contribution to saving lives
Many of our employees have agreed to give something of themselves - for people in need. Because we all know that: Every blood donation counts.
For me it was a matter of course to take part, it's a small effort but the difference you can achieve is enormous.”
As a company that deals with technological innovations on a daily basis, you might think that our focus is solely on technology. But we see it differently: our technology ensures a safe and sustainable world, it is the purpose of our company and does not stop at solutions. Social commitment is another integral part of our corporate activities.
As a company, we bear responsibility, not only for our employees, but also for society. Actions like this show that we are working together for a safe and sustainable world - that is exactly our mission."
Our collaboration with the German Red Cross on this initiative is a strong symbol of this approach. We create platforms that go beyond the purely business-related and focus on values such as solidarity and responsibility.
Strengthening employee health and the community
In addition to saving lives, the initiative also had another positive effect: it strengthened the sense of community in our company. Taking part in such an initiative creates an emotional bond - not only among employees, but also between the company and its employees. We are therefore all the more pleased when new ideas keep coming from the employees themselves and are implemented together with changing teams.
It was great to see how many colleagues got involved. You can tell that initiatives like this intensify the connection with each other and with the company.”
Blood donation in companies like VITRONIC is therefore also an investment in the health and well-being of our employees. It is important to us that our commitment is not only visible to the outside world, but also has a positive impact internally.
Together for a better future
However, this initiative is not a one-off event. For us at VITRONIC, it is another step in our ongoing commitment to a sustainable future. Blood donation campaigns help to ensure the blood supply in the region and thus guarantee stable healthcare in the long term. Through our commitment, we help to ensure that sufficient blood reserves are available in an emergency - a contribution that is close to our hearts. Other activities under the motto “Doing good together” also ensure a better future. Examples of this include our long-standing support for the Zwergnase children's home, emergency aid for earthquake victims, reforestation and more.
The DRK has also highlighted this cooperation as particularly valuable:
As there are currently few blood reserves available, especially in urban areas in Germany, it is essential to work together with companies such as VITRONIC to ensure a sustainable supply of blood products and save lives.”
We are proud of what we have achieved with this initiative and look forward to continuing to make our contribution to a safe and sustainable world.
Because at the end of the day, it's about doing the right thing - and always going one step further.
