Waldenburg (Germany), January 21, 2025 – At the end of 2024, Würth Elektronik eiSos demonstrated how social responsibility can be successfully integrated into everyday work life. On December 5, the company organized a blood drive within the headquarters in Waldenberg, Germany. In cooperation with the German Red Cross (GRC) blood donation service Baden-Württemberg/Hesse, 66 employees came to the company site in Waldenburg to donate blood. Impressively, 35 employees demonstrated remarkable strength by making their very first blood donation- a power act of generosity. 

“At Würth Elektronik, social commitment is a central component of our corporate culture. The blood donation campaign shows how easy it can be to do good in everyday life,” explains Sara Leidig, organizer of the blood donation campaign at Würth Elektronik eiSos. The internal “Awareness” project group implemented the campaign together with a mobile team from the GRC blood donation service. Thanks to targeted communication and smooth organization, employees were able to participate easily. The initiative was not only a success for the GRC blood donation service, but also for the team spirit within the company. Many participants pledged to donate blood regularly in future.

Blood donations: An indispensable contribution

The need for such campaigns is undisputed. More than 15,000 blood donations are needed in Germany every day. Three life-saving preparations can be obtained from just one donation - red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. “The high level of participation shows that our employees are willing to take on responsibility and make an important contribution to society,” emphasizes Leidig.

Social responsibility firmly anchored

Würth Elektronik eiSos actively promotes a corporate culture that focuses on a sense of community and responsibility. “We want to make it easier for our employees to take on social responsibility and shape the working environment in such a way that a sense of community is lived,” explains Leidig. For this reason, the blood donation campaign is not intended to be a one-off initiative, but rather the prelude to further projects of this nature.
