Corporate Engagement

Social and environmental commitment

More and more companies are consciously taking on social and environmental responsibility beyond their own value chain. By partnering with Menschen für Menschen, you are promoting equal opportunities, sustainable development and better living conditions – today and for future generations.

Multiple ways to engage

As a corporate partner, you decide how you would like to get involved. This allows you to tailor your social or environmental commitment to your company, your employees and your stakeholders.

One-time support for needs-based impact

Long-term sponsorships with a lasting impact

Own funding projects for individual impact

Brand strength through active responsibility

Social and environmental engagement are strategic success factors today. Companies that actively embrace CSR and ESG do not just do good — they also strengthen their brand. By positioning yourself visibly as a credible and sustainable actor, you earn the trust and loyalty of your customers. At the same time, you enhance your attractiveness as an employer — especially for the younger generation, who prioritize values when choosing a job. In short: CSR is more than reporting. It is a clear competitive advantage.

Benefit from a trusted and credible organisation

A partnership with Menschen für Menschen offers a triple impact

You will support self-development in one of the poorest, yet most opportunity-rich countries on the African continent.
You will promote ecological sustainability, biodiversity, and climate protection for those who are most affected by climate change.
You will benefit from the credibility, experience, and brand strength of an organization that has been firmly established in Germany for over 40 years.

With the DZI donation seal, our transparent MFM impact monitoring and a deep understanding of brand communication, we create a trustworthy basis for your investment in social engagement.

Commitment as an investment

Social and environmental engagement is not only an ethical and responsible choice — it is also a strategically important business decision and a targeted investment in brand reputation, customer loyalty, and employer attractiveness. For this business decision, Menschen für Menschen is the ideal partner at your side.

“There is no first, second or third world. We all live on the same planet, for which we bear joint responsibility.”

Our regional climate protection projects make an important contribution to global climate protection by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Your support finances the sustainable development of entire regions in Ethiopia, while we, living under the same atmosphere, benefit from it at the same time.
