Charity work
Along with activities that are closely linked with their core business, the Group's brands also demonstrate engagement in a number of charitable projects in the wider interests of society and public welfare.
At the Spennymoor plant, for example, employees enter the 5-km Race for Life to raise money for cancer research. In the course of its marketing activities, the Lighting Segment makes regular donations to the Light for the World initiative, contributing one euro for each new registration for its free customer e-newsletter, for example. Light for the World helps people in poverty-stricken areas recover their sight through an eye operation.
Every year in spring the traditional Zumtobel Group ski race takes place in the Bregenzer Wald region of Austria. For the past three years, the proceeds of the event have been donated to the Vorarlberg Lebenshilfe charity for the disabled.
Furthermore, when natural disasters strike, the Zumtobel Group also makes donations to disaster relief organisations, most recently following the earthquake in Haiti. Employees and management produced a generous response that resulted in a total donation of EUR 60,000.
