corporate social responsibility
Principles
of corporate
citizenship
at
WGZ BANK
WGZ BANK’s corporate social responsibility activities are divided into three areas: education & science, business & social issues, and art & culture
Ongoing commitment and reliable partnerships are at the heart of WGZ BANK’s activities and provide the basis for sustained success
Corporate social responsibility with a particular focus on people and projects in WGZ BANK’s business region
Support for projects that reinforce WGZ BANK’s self-perception as an initiative-led institution
WGZ BANK supports education and science
Based on the principles of the cooperative idea, WGZ BANK is committed to supporting scientific and socio-political education
The objective is in particular to foster economic education in schools and other institutions, and to support training and further education in the field of economics
The WGZ BANK Foundation aims to provide modern impetus to the idea of helping people to help themselves
WGZ BANK is a member of the Initiativkreis Ruhr and is involved in the school project “Dialogue with young people”
As part of this project, several school classes have the opportunity to visit WGZ BANK and are even able to engage in a dialogue with executive board members. They are then in a position to compare their knowledge from the classroom with the practical arguments of business leaders
WGZ BANK provides impetus for the economic and social
development
The initiative “sozialgenial – Schüler engagieren sich” combines learning with civic engagement based on the concept of Service Learning
Young people support others and the community out of school; they encounter social fields of activity and gain new experience, which they can in turn use in the classroom
Since 2009, WGZ BANK has supported the initiative - which is offered throughout its entire business region - with an amount of more than EUR 1.5 million
There has been a longstanding partnership with the foundation “Aktive Bürgerschaft”, the competence centre for civic involvement of the Genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe
Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken
Aktive Bürgerschaft is an advocate for a community of active citizens and committed companies
With exemplary models, new ideas and professional competence, it contributes to improving civic involvement in Germany
The social and civic involvement of medium-sized family-owned enterprises in North-Rhine Westphalia is recognised with the “Initiativpreis NRW”, which WGZ BANK offers annually together with the newspapers of the Funke media group
WGZ BANK’s strong commitment to promoting art and culture
