Social commitment is not only of great importance for PSI as a company, but also plays a major role for the individual employees.
Against the background of the current situation in Ukraine, our colleagues have become active on their own initiative or in aid organizations to help affected people in and from Ukraine in a wide variety of ways.
The commitments include, on the one hand, setting up collection points for donations in kind and donation accounts and, on the other hand, direct on-site support. Among other things, relief goods were delivered to the appropriate points of contact in the border areas and carpooling opportunities for refugees to Germany were made possible. In addition, colleagues have been involved in arranging accommodation in Germany as well as in Ukraine's neighboring countries.
"After a long search, misdirection by individuals, surprising insights, but ultimately the achievement of my goals, I am convinced that I did the right thing. As soon as it is possible, I will set off again, this time with a minibus, so that I can help even more effectively.”
Guido Leichert, PSI employee, after his first aid tour to the Ukrainian border in Medyka.
PSI as a company also supports its employees in their social commitment with a quota of time off for voluntary humanitarian workers and the assumption of costs for fuel and relief goods. In total, PSI has donated more than 100,000 euros to date, made up of:
