Sustainable fruit - our commitment to "Fruit trees for Africa"
As part of our sustainability concept, we have been cooperating with the "Fruitful Office" initiative since August 2016. With the weekly fruit basket, we not only provide our employees with a healthy fruit snack, but also support "Fruitful Office" and its local cooperation partner RIPPLE Africa in the reforestation of fruit trees in Malawi. The aim of this project is to help poor families in particular to create a basis for food and income. Since the start of our cooperation, 600 trees have already been planted.
