Corporate Citizenship

Social Commitment

For us, social responsibility goes without saying. SEW-EURODRIVE is firmly established in the region and represents job security. We are well aware of this role. This is why we always think outside of the box and try to see the big picture. We have always supported poor people in the region and beyond. Our social commitment comprises the promotion of several charity projects, with donations, sponsoring or even SEW employees actively contributing. Those are worthwhile investments as everyone benefits from improvements in the region.

Advancing Research Sustainably

The SEW-EURODRIVE Foundation has the goal of supporting scientific work and research projects in the areas of technology and busi­ness. The Ernst Blickle Prize, coveted across Europe and awarded to a specific person, and the graduate prizes mean that the Foundation is set­ting an important benchmark for the culture of innovation in the Baden-Württemberg economy.
