2022

Cycling without Age

Our work with Cycling without Age.

This year, we as a team have decided to support our immediate neighbourhood through volunteer activities. We have introduced the "Social Day", which we used the last two times to participate in "Cycling without Age". This exists in many places around the world and we highly recommend it!

2021 - 2022

Equal Pay Day

Our work with Verein für Fraueninteressen e.V..

Our Equal Pay Day donations: With our annual Equal Pay Day campaign, which draws attention to the gender pay gap that still exists, we have been able to generate a total of €8,086.38 in recent years and donate it to the Münchner Verein für Fraueninteressen e.V. (Munich Association for Women's Interests), which campaigns for equal participation for all in society, business and politics.

2018 - 2021

Black Weekend

Our work with FEMNET.

Our donations at the Black Weekend: With our annual campaign "20% for you - 10% for a good cause", we were able to generate a total of €70,216.11 in the last few years and donate it to the Bonn-based association FEMNET e.V.. The money was given to selected partner organisations that are committed to improving the working conditions of women in the textile industry.

Year 2019

Pads for Girls

An initiative of The Female Company.

Together with The Female Company we have developed the most comfortable pants Zora (Made in Germany and made of cotton from controlled organical cultivation) - for exactly the days when women have their periods. A co-branded tampon box with 42 tampons made of organic cotton was also available. Our common goal was to donate with every sold "get-comfy" box to the organisation Pads for girls to provide women in India with a washable cloth bandage. Through your help we have collected about 1.000€!

Year 2020

#yearofgivingwater

An initiative of Drip by Drip.

The textile industry requires vast amounts of water along the entire value chain. This year, COVID-19 has hit the textile industry particularly hard and has exacerbated poverty in Bangladesh. Access to basic foodstuffs and clean drinking water could hardly be guaranteed. With a donation to Drip by Drip, water filters could be installed and families were given access to clean drinking water.
