Following a worldwide joint fundraising campaign for the people affected by the war in Ukraine, SCHOTT AG is providing €250,000 for humanitarian aid projects. Employees contributed €90,000 in private donations, and the company increased the donation total by €160,000. With the total amount donated, SCHOTT is now helping directly in Ukraine on the one hand and supporting aid projects for people who have fled from Ukraine to Germany because of the war on the other hand.
“Our solidarity is with the people in and from Ukraine. With our joint donation, we want to provide targeted humanitarian aid – directly on site in Ukraine and also for refugees who have found refuge in the vicinity of our sites here in Germany,” said Dr. Frank Heinricht, Chairman of the Board of Management of SCHOTT AG.
By donating €64,500, SCHOTT is supporting an aid campaign initiated and organized at the University Medical Center in Mainz to supply clinics in the Ukraine with urgently needed medicines and medical products.
The remaining amount donated will be divided among various local aid projects at the six German SCHOTT sites in Mainz, Grünenplan, Jena, Landshut, Mitterteich and Müllheim. The projects supported range from providing food for refugees, psychosocial care services, supplies for daily life, language courses and equipment for school-age children, to supporting local initiatives that organize aid transports for Ukraine.
