The Friedhelm Loh Group's fundraising campaign for Ukraine

Helping and setting an example: € 600,000 donated to people in the war zone

Thanks to the great readiness of its employees to donate, the Friedhelm Loh Group quickly raised € 600,000 for the war-torn people of Ukraine.

Besides numerous relief measures, they have together donated €600,000 for people in the war zone. Last year, a huge amount was given to help the German flood disaster victims. The Group has donated no less than € 1.5 million to people in need during the last eight months, giving hope where it is most needed.

Millions of people from Ukraine are fleeing westwards, leaving their lives behind to find refuge from the war raging in their homeland. Prof. Friedhelm Loh, Owner and CEO of the Friedhelm Loh Group promised: “We will help wherever we can!” Then, together with the group’s employees, he followed up his words with deeds in the form of a variety of aid and donation campaigns.

Thanks to the great readiness of its employees to donate, the family business quickly raised € 600,000 for the people of Ukraine, with the owner tripling the amount collected. Prof. Friedhelm Loh thanked its employees: “You have shown your readiness to help and have sent the message that you sympathise with people who are experiencing war, who fear for their lives, or are on the run. This is a fine example of conscientiousness. This is charity in action.” This aid money is finding its way from the Rittal Foundation, a non-profit Friedhelm Loh Group foundation to humanitarian organisations helping in the war-torn country. Recipients include Aktion Deutschland Hilft, World Vision, Humedica, FeG Auslandshilfe, Ukrainehilfe Breitscheid, and Médecins sans Frontières.
