OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT

As part of our social commitment, we support people in the countries where coffee originates. With this year's annual edition, we are supporting a project for schoolchildren in the Chikmagalur, Hassan, and Coorg regions of India. Education and health are key issues for the future of local children. That is why we are providing school kits containing school supplies, enabling eye examinations, and improving the drinking water supply in schools in these regions.

 

 

Our partnership with Plan International

 

As a family business, we see ourselves as having a cross-generational responsibility for people and the environment – a core value that has shaped our actions for over 150 years. Back then, Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter and, as a female entrepreneur, founded the company that still bears her name today.

 

We share a common goal with the children's rights organization Plan International: to empower people in particularly disadvantaged regions to shape their own lives in a self-determined manner and with financial stability in the long term. Promoting girls and women plays a special role in this, as they are still disadvantaged in many countries. Every girl and every woman who is supported is an investment in resilience, equality, and the future.

 

That is why we are pleased to realize effective and forward-looking projects together with our partner Plan International, with the aim of promoting #equalopportunity.
