Company – social commitment

Responsibility driven by conviction

At Schmidt + Clemens, social commitment is close to our hearts. As a family-owned company, we take responsibility for the communities where we live and work. This commitment is reflected in a wide range of projects and initiatives that we support with both passion and purpose.

Social responsibility

Together for our communities

In 2024, we supported the expansion of the local German Red Cross facility and provided funding for essential equipment for the volunteer fire department. We also support regional food banks that supply essential groceries to those in need. Beyond financial contributions, our apprentices in Lindlar actively take part – volunteering on-site for a day at a time to assist these organizations.

Additionally, our apprentices participate in the local Chamber of Commerce’s “Social Day,” helping move forward nonprofit initiatives throughout the region.

We are also passionate about fostering early interest in technology and skilled trades. For example, we support local elementary schools in Lindlar in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), helping spark excitement for engineering and innovation among young students.

Our commitment extends far beyond our region. We support a variety of NGOs and provide assistance in times of crisis. Whether it is the historic floods in Germany, the earthquake in Turkey, or the flooding in Spain – Schmidt + Clemens and our employees stand together.

In addition to company donations, our teams often take initiative and contribute personally, showing outstanding commitment to helping those affected.

Because to us, being a family means standing together – in good times and in hard times. Schmidt + Clemens is more than a company – we are part of a community, and we live that responsibility every day.
