Endress+Hauser employees around the world are celebrating the group’s 70th anniversary this year during a wide range of events – and at the same time committing to a good cause in a special way. As part of the Endress+Hauser Water Challenge, employees collected donations for a water project in Vietnam through running and other physical activities. The campaign is now heading into a second round.
The Endress+Hauser Water Challenge was launched in 2019. With this initiative, employees cover a pre-determined distance by running, cycling, swimming or taking part in other sports activities, and donate a specific amount that goes toward providing people access to clean water. The company matches each of the donated amounts. Endress+Hauser is thus extending its corporate commitment to a safe, economic and sustainable water supply to the non-profit sector.
Goal achieved, goal doubled
Endress+Hauser employees established a special goal for the anniversary year by endeavouring to circumnavigate the globe in 70 days through various team activities. The 40 075 kilometre mark was reached in only five weeks. “This success is a tremendous team effort. The Endress+Hauser Water Challenge is mobilising our employees across the globe,” says CEO, Matthias Altendorf. The campaign is now heading into extra time, with the goal of circumnavigating the earth a second time.
Clean water for 1000 people
This year the Endress+Hauser Water Challenge is supporting a project in Vietnam. The project will promote the availability of clean drinking water in a 90-family village with little infrastructure, that is situated roughly 10 kilometres from the main road. “We can sustainably improve the lives of more than 1000 people through this project,” emphasises Altendorf.
Hand in hand with local partners
The donated funds will go toward the construction of a water house in the centre of the village, where ground water will be transported with pumps, then filtered and cleaned through reverse osmosis. Solar panels will generate the required electricity during the day. In addition, the village square will be redesigned and the access road renewed as part of the project. Endress+Hauser Vietnam will implement the project together with local representatives NK Engineering and Plan International Vietnam, an aid organisation. The first Endress+Hauser Water Challenge project in 2020 was also completed in Vietnam.
