As a partner to the many dedicated individuals and organizations in the airport region, we support a wide range of initiatives and events in the BER neighborhood. At the same time, as part of our regional commitment, we implement our own projects aimed at various target groups in the surrounding area. Through our initiatives, we aim to create tangible benefits for sustainable development and foster a spirit of neighborly cooperation in our region.
Working together for our region: Corporate Volunteering is our company volunteer program. The goal is to support social institutions and nonprofit organizations in very practical ways – beyond just financial contributions. To this end, we organize regular volunteer projects where our employees work together to support a charitable project in the BER neighborhood – and we’ve been doing this for more than ten years.
Since 2014, we have carried out projects at several facilities, performing tasks such as renovation and gardening work, building raised beds and furniture, paving paths, and planting trees. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in having us support you in implementing a project.
National Reading Aloud Day is a joint initiative of DIE ZEIT, Stiftung Lesen, and the Deutsche Bahn Foundation, and was launched 20 years ago. The event takes place annually on the third Friday in November and is Germany’s largest reading aloud festival, serving as a public initiative to inspire children and adults alike about the importance of reading aloud each year. Since 2012, we have regularly participated in National Reading Aloud Day, for example through various reading events at BER or in schools and daycare centers in the airport region.
In addition to Reading Aloud Day, we also get involved in various activities on other national and international days of action, such as ‘Neighborhood Day’ or ‘World Cleanup Day’
Especially during the most festive time of the year, we are committed to bringing a little joy to our neighbors, both young and old. Every year, we surprise people in our neighborhood with a Christmas campaign – for example, with small gifts, donations of goods, or homemade cookies – or fulfill their wishes with a special Christmas donation.
Many of our initiatives have now become regular fixed dates in our calendars – and at the same time, we enjoy coming up with new projects and events that will benefit as many people in our region as possible.
