Sustainability starts small - and grows with every good deed. This year, the employees of the three sister companies Leitz, Boehlerit and Bilz once again committed themselves to this guiding principle as part of the company-wide WeCare Action Weeks. What began in 2022 as a Group-wide initiative to pool existing local sustainability projects has since developed into a firmly established tradition. Today, WeCare stands for practising responsibility in a global network that connects people across borders, inspires them and motivates them to get involved.
Record participation in the WeCare Action Weeks 2025
With 154 projects in 33 countries, this year's Action Weeks reached a new dimension: 2230 employees volunteered and contributed a total of over 3420 hours to a wide range of initiatives - from regional environmental measures to social aid campaigns. The results were impressive: over two tonnes of donations in material form were collected, 109 litres of blood were donated, 4,900 trees were planted and 621 square metres of flowering areas were created.
The donations and financial contributions totalling 77,000 euros also sent a strong signal of solidarity. This also benefits charitable organisations in the regions of the participating companies and around the world.
The shareholder and the management of the three companies recognise the extraordinary commitment of employees around the globe: "In 2025, WeCare has once again shown what is possible when many people pull together. The diversity and creativity of the projects clearly show how deeply rooted sustainability and cooperation are in our corporate culture. This commitment fills me with great gratitude and pride," emphasises Dr Cornelia Brucklacher, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board and shareholder.
WeCare is an impressive example of how many small contributions can have a big impact. The commitment of our employees makes it clear that sustainable action is not only possible, but a reality at the Brucklacher Group - for a future worth living, today and tomorrow.
