Schaeffler invests in the health of its employees and donates money to UNICEF in the Nordic countries
Schaeffler Nordics & Baltics has recently finalized an internal campaign that combined employee health and well-being with raising funds for UNICEF. The activity was initiated since Schaeffler recognizes the importance of prioritizing employee health and well-being to ensure sustainable growth and success. At the same time, social engagement for the benefit of local communities plays an important role in Schaeffler’s sustainability approach and the company strives to be active through strategic partnerships and collaborations with charity associations and initiatives. By prioritizing employee health, investing in corporate social responsibility and considering the impact of its operations on society and environment, Schaeffler demonstrates its commitment to creating a positive change for the future.
Combining an internal well-being campaign with raising funds for charity
The above were important aspects when Schaeffler Nordics in March started a well-being campaign for its employees. The company motivated its employees to be more physically active. Depending on the physical activities carried out by its employees, funds were raised for a charity organization. The choice to support UNICEF was made together by the employees and the local management due to UNICEF’s important work in helping children to survive in severely vulnerable areas of the world.
The physical activity was registered via an app where the employees easily chose between several options: From running and walking to martial arts and kayaking – and many more. Every activity was counted and generated points depending on time, effort, and/or distance. The points were then transferred into money to donate to UNICEF. The campaign lasted from the end of March to the end of June 2024 and a total of 405647 points were gathered which eventually was exchanged to a donation to UNICEF.
