To Walk Again 2

Together we care

With our social commitment, we focus on the environment, knowledge and participation.

Social commitment is a fixed component of our identity. Taking care of each other is part of our Aurubis DNA.  We strive to be a responsible, reliable partner for our employees, suppliers, customers and neighbors. We have set the target of contributing to a livable environment for future generations. Our social engagement is often linked to donations or sponsoring projects. Projects and partners are carefully selected based on established criteria. 

'together we care' is the slogan for all varied activities and projects that are supported by Aurubis. Our projects have three focuses: knowledge, environment, and participation. For many years, we have been involved at schools, in training and education, in the promotion of sports and culture, and at events or projects in the neighborhoods surrounding the company’s sites.

Aurubis Olen has been engaged for years as a partner for schools and local initiatives, and also supports the promotion of sports, culture and education. In addition, we want to be a good partner in projects in the area of our company site, and together we look at how we can possibly add value from Aurubis.

together we care

At Aurubis Olen, we have many partners: our employees, suppliers, and customers, as well as our neighbors, (local) authorities, and associations. We aim to maintain a strong and positive relationship with each of them. We care for all of them, which is why we support local initiatives and take our social responsibility seriously.

What does social engagement mean to us?

Through our activities, we are committed to helping shape our surroundings and working together toward a sustainable future for everyone. Social engagement is an investment in that future and an integral part of our sustainability strategy.

Success is only possible as a team

We take responsibility by carefully selecting our partners. We also strive to inspire beyond the walls of Aurubis and act as an ambassador for our 'together we care' partners.
