Donations for earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria

The earthquake in southeastern Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023, caused great consternation within the ElringKlinger Group and particularly at the company's Turkish site in Bursa. Since then, employees at this site have been supporting local aid organizations with donations in kind. In addition, they also support local facilities at the collection points for donations in kind. Yavuz Günaydin, General Manager of the Turkish site, underlines "Low temperatures, destroyed housing and collapsed infrastructures - over 13.5 million people have been affected, many have lost their belongings and are in urgent need of relief supplies. That's why we are standing together and supporting existing aid organizations. In addition, we are also helping people who are now fleeing the affected regions and seeking safe shelter in other cities, including Bursa."
Kochwerk is pilot company of the organic model region of Baden-Württemberg

Kochwerk Catering GmbH, a subsidiary of ElringKlinger AG, is one of 20 participating pilot businesses in the "Organic Model Region Swabian Alb Biosphere Area". The aim of the initiative is to raise awareness of the value of organically produced food in the region. From now on, Kochwerk will rely increasingly on organic foods in the preparation of the approximately 980 meals per day and intends to continuously increase their share. ElringKlinger is supported in the procurement of organic regional food by the regional management of the organic model region. It is part of the 'Bio aus Baden-Württemberg' action plan, with which the state is creating the framework conditions to raise organic farming in Baden-Württemberg to between 30 and 40 percent of organically farmed land by 2030.
Baden-Württemberg Minister of Food, Rural Areas and Consumer Protection Peter Hauk, District President Klaus Tappeser, District Administrator Dr. Ulrich Fiedler and the Mayor of Dettingen Michael Hillert were briefed on the interim results of the "Expansion of organic regional out-of-home catering" project at ElringKlinger's company restaurant in Dettingen/Erms in February 2023.
