SASA Volleyball Team in the Soweto Slum (Kenya)
For us, social responsibility is more than just a word – it’s part of our everyday actions. We are committed to our employees, our environment, and to shaping a society together.
As a sponsor, we support schools, daycare centers, and sports clubs in our region – with a special focus on early music education, language development, and youth sports. This sponsorship reflects our dedication to fostering young talent and strengthening social cohesion.
Events such as our InHouse exhibition, the Future Day, or the cultural festival Una Notte Siciliana create space for connection and exchange – and here too, we actively support initiatives as a sponsor that bring people together.
We are also committed beyond our region – for example, through our involvement with the Strahlemann Foundation for educational equity and with SmartFactory Kaiserslautern for an innovative future. For us, responsibility doesn’t end at the factory gates – it starts there.
For many years, we have extended our commitment beyond our region — especially in Africa.
In Soweto, one of the largest slums in Nairobi, we support the Arnold Janssen School for orphaned children. A deep well we funded on the school grounds provides clean drinking water to around 30,000 people — a vital contribution in a region lacking reliable infrastructure.
Another key focus is the Reinha Rosary Health Centre in Githunguri near Nairobi — the only medical facility serving approximately 120,000 people. Here, we specifically promote access to healthcare.
We also care deeply about the SASA volleyball team: through sports and educational support, young girls gain opportunities for participation, education, and a self-determined life — in a region where this is unfortunately not a given.
