Follow-up 5: Commitment - not just professionally
So tell me, Mr. Gammel, what other topics are close to your heart?
For the Gammel family - and I naturally include our employees in this - social and voluntary commitment is very important. We like to take on responsibility in society. Years ago, my wife and I founded the Cabrini Haus circle of friends and support it in the long term. Up to 200 children and young people with disabilities are accommodated in the facility run by the Catholic Jugendfürsorge Regensburg. They are cared for, taught and prepared for a life with the greatest possible independence.
Everyone should be able to experience the feeling of a grateful, trusting smile from a disadvantaged Cabrini child! Many of the campaigns are also supported by my Lions Club Kelheim Holledau or by the Chaine des Rotisseurs, the international association for friends of tableware and dining culture. I am also actively involved in representing the interests of companies in the region as IHK chairman for the district of Kelheim.
Once again this year, we had a wonderful internal Christmas party together. A big thank you goes to our entertainment manager Sonja Eichstätter for organizing the evening.
Healthy and motivated employees are the foundation of a successful company - especially in economically challenging times. The "Healthy companies in the district of Kelheim" network, in which nine regional companies have joined forces to establish occupational health management (OHM) not as a short-term measure, but as a sustainable and systematic process, follows precisely this claim.
What great news! We are incredibly proud and delighted that, together with our partner IWR GmbH, we have been awarded the planning contract for a 12 MW seawater heat pump including seawater extraction and a biomass heating plant as part of the cross-border UNITED HEAT project.
