The EDAG Group donates € 3,000 EUR for the "Kleine Helden" Osthessen e.V. hospice for children and young people
Social commitment instead of chocolate Santas and customer gifts

Fulda, 5.12.2019  This year, the globally active EDAG Group supports "Kleine Helden Osthessen e.V." a hospice for children and young people, by making a donation of € 3,000. 
EDAG CFO Holger Merz presented the symbolic cheque to Carina Hillenbrand from the "Kleinen Helden" ["Little Heroes"] at the EDAG site in Fulda on 5.12.2019. Based in Hünfeld, the association supports and accompanies seriously ill children and young people, their siblings, parents and anyone else who has a close relationship with them.
"For many years we have been following the work of the "Kleinen Helden" with great admiration and humility. We were happy to support this outstanding commitment," stressed Holger Merz when handing over the donation in Fulda on 5th December, 2019. 
This year, the EDAG Group made a deliberate decision not to give Christmas presents to customers and hand out chocolate Santas to its employees. Instead, the company decided to make donations to support socially active organisations such as "Kleine Helden" and environmental organisations in Ingolstadt, Munich and Wolfsburg this year. "A small sacrifice for each individual, but with a great benefit for many," concluded Holger Merz.
