98 Social Commitment
In social projects at its U.S. site in St. Louis, ELANTAS PDG
provides assistance and at the same time strengthens employees’
personal commitment. An example is the monthly
donations by employees to the aid organization United
Way Worldwide, which the company tops up. Each year,
ELANTAS PDG participates in the fall in the traditional
World Food Day, on which employees pack food packages
for needy people. At Christmastime, the company takes
part in a Christmas campaign for poor families in St. Louis.
The employees bring gifts that have been collected to
the families’ homes.
In the context of the annual ECKART Christmas donation
campaign “Donations Instead of Gifts,” a total of
20,000 euros were provided to four organizations. Three
children’s aid organizations and an inclusion project of
a gymnastics and sports club near the site each received
5,000 euros.
