Cycling for a good cause
There are many good reasons to get back on your bike – especially when you’re doing it for a good cause!
As part of the ‘Cycle to work’ campaign, 51 of our colleagues swapped four wheels for two from May to August. It’s a win-win for their health and the environment: the 22 teams cycled a total of 33,881 kilometers, saving over 6 tons of CO2! Our most active cyclists were also rewarded with a voucher for bicycle equipment.
For every kilometer cycled, the company donates five cents, which (rounded up) makes a total donation of 2,000 euros. This year, we are delighted to donate to the Verein für Innere Mission Bremen, which provides help to people in need and opens up new perspectives for them.
This year’s donation will go to the project ‘Das lässt uns nicht kalt!’. The cold season confronts homeless people with major challenges and health risks. The Verein für Innere Mission helps them and provides them with warm food, hot drinks, emergency accommodation and warm clothing. We are delighted to support this valuable work!
Thanks to all our colleagues for taking part and for the great team spirit!
