Social Projects

The intensive social commitment of tesa SE and its affiliates was also evident in 2010 in numerous projects. These projects are in line with our Corporate Giving Strategy, which we first formulated in 2007 and which is incorporated into the tesa Code of Conduct.

Our Corporate Giving Strategy specifies the topics on which our activities focus, while also giving our affiliates the ability to adjust their approaches regionally according to local circumstances. On the whole, we set great store by achieving lasting effects through long-term initiatives that respond to the specific conditions and situations that apply in the region. Our commitment and involvement focusing on children and young people encompasses four main areas. Alongside fostering creativity, promoting education, and developing future talent in science and technology, these main areas also include providing support to institutions that assist sick and socially disadvantaged children.

In our activities, we focus in particular on volunteering among tesa employees. Examples of this concept of “Corporate Volunteering” include our support for the Hamburg-based initiative Mentor – die Leselernhelfer Hamburg e. V. or the assistance provided to the Suzhou Sunshine School in China for children from families of migrant workers. We would like to present a few of these projects, which span all the fields in which we are active.
