Our responsibility

Our Corporate Social Responsibility: education, safety and self-determination

We take our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), meaning our responsibility towards society and beyond our own company, very seriously: Above all, the issues of education, freedom and security are close to our hearts. That is why we support various social projects financially on the one hand, but also actively and with personal commitment on the other.

Ways out of poverty thanks to education

Wörwag Pharma, the Wörwag family and Herrnhuter Missionshilfe have been working together since 1997 to improve educational opportunities in Tanzania and Zambia: Here we support the construction of vocational schools to give young people in structurally weak regions the opportunity to complete an education and thus earn their own living.
