We promote innovative and effective approaches to strengthen social cohesion.
Demographic change, migration, equal opportunities and digital transformation are the major social issues of our time. Our activities are designed to promote social cohesion and contribute to solving these major challenges. In doing so, we prefer approaches that help young people develop into valuable pillars of future society and enable colleagues to volunteer.
During our “Social Days”, which we organize at various locations, our employees become active themselves and dedicate a day to a charitable cause. This “hands-on volunteering” is their direct contribution to social cohesion and at the same time strengthens their team spirit.
We also support selected associations and institutions with donations.
One of our employees’ favorite projects is the Christmas wish list campaign which takes place at some of our locations, such as Luxembourg, Prague, London and Eschborn. In cooperation with social institutions, Deutsche Börse has been fulfilling children’s wishes for Christmas for several years now. Our employees can take the children’s wish lists and fulfil their wishes. In this way, children from disadvantaged families also receive Christmas presents.
Some projects run throughout the year; employees organize charity bake sales to support organizations and projects they care deeply about.
For many years, Deutsche Börse has participated in various sporting company runs, such as the J.P. Morgan Run in Frankfurt or the Business Run in Luxembourg. In this way, we promote the sporting activities and health of our employees and at the same time contribute to social causes.
Education in the field of environmental protection is a major concern of ours. There is a Group-wide effort to reduce waste and create greater awareness of sustainability challenges.
We attach particular importance to the issue of diversity. Our LGBTIQ network “marketPride” is active at six locations and has around 400 members. Once a year during the summer months, we also celebrate “Pride Month” to support the LGBTIQ community and create an inviting and inclusive work environment.
