Porsche is committed to supporting Social Issues
London, December 23, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– Porsche continued to support numerous social projects and once again encouraged many employees to take part in charitable activities. This commitment was further strengthened by brand ambassadors of the sports car manufacturer – including racing driver Timo Bernhard and skiing legend Aksel Lund Svindal
Porsche is committed to supporting education and science, social affairs, sports, culture and the environment, with a focus on projects with a long-term impact. For many years, the company has been involved in numerous funding initiatives and it is particularly important to Porsche that these are supported by the whole team. The sports car manufacturer uses the ‘Porsche hilft’ intranet platform to provide its employees with appropriate volunteering opportunities.
Expanding the activities of volunteers
In 2024, Porsche again organised a large number of volunteer team activities at its locations in Stuttgart. More than 550 employees took part. Together with the Trinkwasserwald e.V. organisation, they planted trees to generate additional clean drinking water. The Supp_Optimal team, meanwhile, distributed meals to those in need in Stuttgart.
Planting campaigns for high-quality groundwater and drinking water
The Trinkwasserwald e.V. association is committed to environmental education, awareness and near-natural silviculture, which is the care and culture of woodlands. Porsche has supported the organisation since 2017 and has donated a total of 1.6 million euros to date.
Voluntary tree-planting campaigns play a central role. By the end of 2024, the partnership had resulted in 62 hectares of mixed deciduous forest being planted in Leipzig and the Stuttgart region to promote high-quality groundwater and drinking water. This past year alone, four joint tree-planting campaigns took place, with about 180 employees from across the company planting approximately 5,600 trees.
Turbo for talents: goals for charity
As part of the annual Porsche Football Cup, the Turbo for Talents youth initiative collected donations for the Baden-Württemberg State Sports Association via its Goals for Charity campaign. For the fourth time, Porsche AG donated 500 euros for every goal scored by the young players. Thanks to so many balls hitting the back of the net, an impressive 30,000 euros was raised in September 2024. The funds went to the ‘Moving more together’ initiative, which works to integrate children and young people with a refugee or migrant background into sports clubs. “With the Goals for Charity campaign, we support many regional sports clubs and thus promote the integration of young people,” says professional footballer Sami Khedira, who is involved in the project. “This is a great contribution to our society. I am very proud to be part of this campaign.”
Make-A-Wish
To mark its 75th anniversary in 2023, Porsche is donating around 1,800,000 euros to the Make-A-Wish foundation, which makes dreams and wishes come true for seriously ill children and young people. Inspired by the Porsche 356, the first Porsche sports car, the intention is to fulfil 356 wishes over three years, giving hope to children and their families during a difficult time. With the support of Porsche, the organisation has already fulfilled more than 200 of these wishes.
Educational initiatives in the context of refugee aid
With a training campus and a learning and counselling centre, the Stuttgart Community Foundation supports refugees and people with a migrant background as they look to enter education and employment. The campus offers support with job applications, mentoring, tutoring and language. Porsche has been involved in the project since 2016 and donated another 30,000 euros in 2024.
Arthelps: psychological support through art therapy
Since the end of 2022, Porsche has been supporting the non-profit organisation Arthelps in providing psychological support to those affected by the Ukraine conflict. Through art, people can often express their feelings and experiences in a different way and communicate them to the outside world. In this way, therapists gain access to those affected and can help to guide them through their experiences. With the help of the donation from Porsche AG, Arthelps has so far been able to organise 1,327 creative workshops and around 1,446 therapeutic sessions for children, adolescents and women.
