More than 100,000 euros: Takasago helps flood victims
The flood disaster in July 2021 emotionally significantly impacted all of us. Some of our employees were directly affected, in some cases to a terrible extent. Those affected were granted additional special leave days. We also gave time off to people who wanted to help on a private, voluntary basis. We offered our employees the opportunity to talk to a crisis intervention coach. Through donations totaling 62,000 euros, we were able to support 19 people personally affected by the flood. This includes donations collected from our workforce that were then doubled by Takasago Europe GmbH and donations from sister companies and a business partner. In addition, Takasago International Corporation has donated a total of 40,000 euros to charitable organizations as a sign of compassion and solidarity. Together, we have been able to help donate over 100,000 euros.
