“No society can function without the engagement of volunteers. Voluntary engagement is actually the very foundation of social coexistence and a central source of social integration”  Carlo Köppel – Caritas Switzerland.

Companies all over the world are stepping up their charitable engagement and are not only donating and sponsoring a wide variety of projects, but also making their workforces available to spare some time for work assignments in the local community.

We are your contact partner if your company is also seeking to engage in its social environment.

The Fardel Organisation specializes in the coordination of campaigns in the field of employee volunteering.

Renate Schubert, Professor of Economics:

„Corporate Volunteering is the engagement of companies and their employees for charitable services and institutions: this concept has already been practised for some time in the US, Great Britain and the Netherlands and has not reached German-speaking regions as well. Companies that are active here see themselves increasingly embedded in a complex relational structure, in which it is not only the pursuit of profit and shareholder value that are important.“

„I would like to give a message to each and every one of us. This is a day when, I feel, we must open ourselves to others, to others and to our neighbors.  And we must open our eyes to see, and I would say our hearts to feel, what is happening. And I think, if we do that, we will be able not only to give a lot but also to receive.”

Dr. Daniel Vasella

Through a commitment to make things possible for which the institutions do not have the necessary means or human resources.

To serve as a motivating and supporting influence through the transfer of knowledge and experience acquired in work.

Immediate gratitude of the people and institutions to whom assistance is provided.

Personal satisfaction of having achieved something great and above all tangible through (in most cases unaccustomed) physical effort.

Broadening of one’s own expertise through dealing with new and unaccustomed requirements.

Experiencing one’s own team or a team of random volunteers as a functioning whole with a shared objective across all hierarchies. An excellent low-threshold opportunity for team building!
