Corporate Social Responsibility: Engel & Völkers’ Commitment to Society
As a globally operating real estate company, Engel & Völkers is aware of its responsibility to support individuals in less privileged circumstances. Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, we promote various social projects. Discover here how we help and how you can get involved as well.
Clicks4charity: Shopping and Donating Made Easy
Engel & Völkers uses the Clicks4charity portal for all purchases and business trips, collaborating with numerous online shops, travel agencies, and price comparison platforms. As part of our CSR efforts, all employees are encouraged to conduct their online transactions and information searches through Clicks4charity. The portal receives a commission of 4 to 5% from its retail partners, of which 80% is donated to charitable organizations worldwide. This also demonstrates the commitment of our retail partners to CSR. Every purchase and travel booking at Engel & Völkers begins with a click on Clicks4charity. We warmly invite you to join us and decide for yourself which organizations you would like to support—perhaps even the children's charity project that is particularly close to Christian Völkers' heart.
Corporate Social Responsibility: The Engel & Völkers School Project in Africa
Christian Völkers became aware of a school project in the village of Agbetiko, Togo, through personal contacts. In line with our CSR efforts, we established the Engel & Völkers Charity e.V. in 2008 to support this and other educational projects. The school opened in 2010, and by 2012, three cohorts had already enrolled. Approximately 200 children learn in French, the official language, receiving teaching materials and a daily warm meal. This school project not only provides education but also offers the prospect of a better future. Our CSR initiatives have a direct impact here, without bureaucratic hurdles.
Sponsorships with Engel & Völkers Charity e.V.
Under the leadership of Ninon Völkers, chairperson of Engel & Völkers Charity e.V., generous donations from franchise partners, sales consultants, and clients, as well as personal sponsorships, ensure the long-term sustainability of the school in Agbetiko. Engel & Völkers’ CSR extends to other educational projects across Africa. Your donations go directly to 100% of charitable projects, while all administrative costs are covered by Engel & Völkers AG. Support us through your own CSR activities and help provide children with a future full of opportunities. We appreciate your support!
