Commitment

Würth takes social responsibility
PROPERTY ENTAILS OBLIGATIONS.

This extremely short sentence taken from the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany acts as a tremendous driving force within the Würth Group. Because Article 14 (2) continues:

ITS USE SHALL ALSO SERVE THE PUBLIC GOOD.

As a family business, Würth takes social responsibility based on this deep-rooted conviction. Würth is committed to a vibrant cultural landscape at the regional, national, and international level, rises to social challenges, facilitates education designed to meet the needs of the future, and recognizes individuals who improve how we all live together.

For a better society

“Be the change you wish to see in the world,” said Mahatma Gandhi, loosely based on Kant’s categorical imperative. The Würth Group also follows this principle: The company is involved in a wide range of social initiatives, be it in the social or political arena or in the sporting world.
Helping out where help is needed most is something of a tradition at Würth. In 2022, the company supported large, well-known projects, but often also provided assistance on a small scale, not that this was any less important.

A humanitarian imperative: The Würth Group provides help to people in Ukraine

By providing more than two million euro in cash and donations in kind, the Würth Group was on hand to support those affected by the war in Ukraine in 2022. Over one million euro was donated to the “Aktion Deutschland Hilft e. V.” alliance and the children’s relief organization UNICEF, both of which have a wealth of experience in providing disaster relief outside Germany, especially for children and young people in need. In addition to monetary donations, Group companies also provided support in the form of donations in kind, such as medical supplies, toiletries, and toys.

Prof. Dr. h. c. mult. Reinhold Würth launched the emergency aid campaign together with Bettina Würth, Chairwoman of the Advisory Board of the Würth Group, and the boards of the Würth Group in February 2022.

 

„The situation in Ukraine is of real concern to me. The top priority is to keep people safe. We will do everything we can to support them.”

"With all the crises currently hitting us, it is important that we do not lose sight of the region we are in. The food banks alleviate a lot of suffering here. I would like to thank the volunteers in particular. Without their dedication, helping people in need would not even be possible in the first place."

The idea for this unique project came from the heart of Carmen Würth. At Hotel-Restaurant Anne-Sophie in Künzelsau, people with and without disabilities work together hand-in-hand. It has created a place where people, as different as they may be, meet as equals and learn to interact. The hotel, which has won several awards, currently employs around 120 people, including around 20 with disabilities.
