This allows the agencies to be able to count on our support when doing their business planning, and it allows us to develop a relationship with them. Birkenstock provides grants for disaster relief wherever possible, with monetary or product donations. In addition, we have a product donation program for giving our sandals, clogs, and shoes to nonprofits for their fundraising events. For companies requesting grants or product donations, Birkenstock has set guidelines and program requirements that give more details about our program. Our Employee Matching Gift Program allows all Birkenstock employees to have a voice in determining where contribution resources are allocated.
Employees can divvy up their contributions among several organizations.
The idea of the program is to support employee's choices for giving and to make a greater impact on society by matching those gifts. By offering this program, we feel we enhance social awareness in our employees and the world. In every healthy community, the people's fundamental human needs must be met. The employees share their time and skills wherever they're needed. We volunteer with group projects and individually in a variety of areas.
