The efforts in the third quarter of our internal Leading the Way challenge will go to the charitable organization atmosfair. Together with atmosfair we are supporting a pilot project in West Bengal, India by subsidizing the sale of highly efficient wood gasifier stoves. In Burkina Faso, West Africa we support the expansion of the drinking water networks with more water kiosks. Find out more about the projects we support:

 
Project India: Efficient wood gas stoves

With our help, atmosfair will subsidize the sale of highly efficient wood gasifier stoves in West Bengal, India. Wood gas stoves allow for efficient and smoke-free cooking and also produce charcoal that can be used or sold. This improves the economic situation of locals and simultaneously supports the conservation of Mangrove forests and its biodiversity including the Bengal Tiger.

Project West Africa: Drinking water in Burkina Faso

We support atmosfair with the installation and operation of several water kiosks across Burkina Faso to provide locals access to safe drinking water. This will lead to a reduction of adverse health effects related to waterborne diseases associated with unsafe water usage and related to harmful gases during combustion of firewood for boiling water.

For 150 years, we have been advancing lives by shaping how the world connects. Driving innovation, connecting communities, and shaping a sustainable future to make the world a better place. That’s what we call elevating lives. In our anniversary year, we want to push this with our company challenge to a new dimension and lead the way – be a role model – for a greater good.

We move for a greater good.

Every move counts in 2022! We will refund each kilometer of our activities with 1 cent and donate it to carefully selected organizations, dedicated to charitable causes in connection with the topic of sustainability. Our employees will have the chance to accumulate a total amount of up to 1.5 million euro (corresponding to ~150 million km) during 2022 to elevate our planet.

To reach our big target of collecting 1,5 million euros, we set up quarterly challenge stages of 375,000 euros. Our active km will be counted within an App through physical and mental activities like running, walking, cycling or simply answering questions. For all kilometers accumulated, we will donate a maximum amount of 375,000 euros each quarter to support one charity organization that is linked to our overarching quarterly topics earth, water, air, and people.

Now it is time for us to challenge and motivate each other again to try to beat this record and help support the Ocean Conservancy. Let's make every move count!
