With “One Step Further” – the largest international CARE event at CHG-MERIDIAN – employees worldwide collectively covered a total of 15,818 km on foot, by bike, in the air or on water in one week. This new record also marks a new donation milestone, as CHG-MERIDIAN is donating 1 euro for every kilometer collected this year.
The total donation amount of 15,818 euros will be evenly distributed between Doctors Without Borders and Amnesty International this year.
Doctors Without Borders is the largest independent organization for emergency medical aid, providing crucial medical assistance in crisis and war zones.
Amnesty International is the world's largest human rights movement, advocating globally for the preservation of human dignity, against the death penalty, and for the strengthening of human rights.
The CARE event has taken place for the fourth consecutive year, with 386 employees from 25 locations participating this year. “The outstanding commitment of our employees reflects the remarkable team spirit and solidarity that we aim to support as an Employer of Choice,” said Mathias Wagner, CEO of CHG-MERIDIAN. The company organizes various CARE events annually, which are initiated and designed by the employees.
