Towards a responsible globalization...
To ensure the corporation's durability, as required by its customers, Delfingen has had to move some of its operations to low cost countries.
The Streit Family, main shareholder, moved by the problems met by some of the co-workers living in such countries, has strived for many years to help out individuals in cases of particular hardship. The next logical step for the Streits was to establish an organization to address these issues and thus create a foundation: Delfingen Foundation.
Delfingen Foundation was officially created in April 2007. It benefited from the advice of the International Labour Organization (a specialized agency of the UN).
Delfingen Foundation is a non-profit making organization whose general mission is to implement actions corresponding to Delfingen's commitments towards sustaining personal development and human dignity at work for every individual of the corporation. The goal is to demonstrate that globalization can be an opportunity for mankind.
Delfingen Foundation is a company foundation that acts according to the following actions:
- Favor and help any action that could improve EDUCATION AND TRAINING
- Favor and help any action that could improve HEALTH
- Favor and help any action that could improve HOUSING
It uses the basis defined in our Decent Work Charter (please click here to know more...).
Delfingen foundation's goal is to help people to become autonomous in different countries. Sharing and Freedom are amongst the Group's values
In the countries where we work, we setup associations or coop managed by local people who are responsible for their own budget. The goal is to help them finance their associations by themself through microcredit.
