Together, we shape the future!

To mark "375 Years of Peace in Westphalia," Hellmann helps and the Patsy & Michael Hull Foundation launched the "Swim for Peace" campaign in mid-2023, raising EUR 100.000. The funds will support two orphanages in western Ukraine—Bukiv Internatur and St. Nicholas House of Mercy in Lviv—providing infrastructure improvements, psychological care, and learning support for children affected by the war.

We're proud to partner with the Maletsati Foundation, founded by Tiffini Hein. The foundation supports orphaned children and combats food insecurity in South Africa, where 2.1 million children lack daily nutrition. Join our team as they collaborate with Tiffini’s foundation to provide meals and support to children and families in need.

Our Shared Service Center in APAC and Philippines recently hosted a Blood Donation Drive with the Philippine Red Cross, receiving an overwhelming response from employees. The event, part of our "Caring Hearts Blood Drive," reflects our commitment to social responsibility. By fostering empathy and collaboration, we aim to make a lasting impact in the community, supporting lives through simple acts of kindness.

Hellmann Daventry supports the local charity HOPE, which funds nearby organizations. When customer Guest Supply had surplus stock worth over GBP 13.000, our valued colleague Natalie proposed donating it to local charities. Guest Supply agreed, and 7 pallets of goods were distributed to HOPE, a women's refuge, care homes, and Daventry Connect.

We know that the world is colorful and we strongly believe that everyone deserves the freedom to be themselves! That is why the Hellmann FAMILY made a clear statement at Christopher Street Day in Osnabrueck by leading the parade with our truck and continues to support the LGBTQIA+ community.

For over 60 years, Terre des hommes has fought for children's rights worldwide, ensuring access to education, health, and safety. In Cambodia, Hellmann's support has led to significant progress, including the creation of 45 self-help groups, improved sanitation for thousands, and the establishment of 20 children's clubs. Efforts have also reduced the acceptance of violence from 90% to 12%, transforming communities and empowering children like Mey Savry, a former victim of violence now leading positive change.

On of our core values "caring" takes on special meaning through the work of one of our colleague and true quiet hero. For over nine years, Stephina’s fought period poverty by helping girls and women access menstrual products and empowering them to participate in social life. Through fundraising and community projects, her efforts, supported by Hellmann, make a real difference in Tembisa.

Equality and inclusion are one of our core values. Our Disabled Workers' Representative Committee advocates for colleagues with disabilities, ensuring accessible work environments and equipment. Recently, a colleague with a sudden visual impairment was fully reintegrated into her role through collaboration and the exchange of specialized equipment, reflecting our commitment to support and inclusion.
 

We believe it's possible to be a logistics service provider and still prioritize clean air. In partnership with Youth for Ecological Sustainability, our Hellmann India team sponsored the 'Delhi Run for Clean Air,' a march with 500 participants, including 20 Hellmann colleagues. Supported by government officials, the event raised awareness about air pollution and our shared responsibility to find solutions.
 

The Hellmann UK HR Team volunteered at the 69th Tiny Forest site in Lichfield as part of the company's sustainability initiative. Earthwatch Europe, leading the Tiny Forest movement, aims to plant 72 forests across the UK to support biodiversity, enhance green spaces, and promote environmental education.

Hellmann is committed to the decarbonization of logistics. Our fleet includes multiple 16-ton electric trucks, ready to reduce carbon emissions, along with newly installed charging stations.

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has partnered with the Digital Hub Logistics in Hamburg (DHLH) to drive digital transformation in the logistics industry. Since February, Hellmann has contributed its expertise in sustainable innovation. DHLH, part of Germany's Digital Hub Initiative, connects companies, startups, and researchers to develop market-ready logistics solutions. Hellmann’s collaboration strengthens its digital capabilities and promotes sustainable, innovative solutions for the future.

As Hellmann FAMILY, we want to care for each other and for people who urgently need help. That's why colleagues from all over the Hellmann world have founded Hellmann helps, which functions as a non-profit entity and is organizationally separate from the parent company. The association also supports sustainable projects for youth and elderly care, education and upbringing, as well as environmental protection and nature conservation. At the same time, the association stands for equal opportunities and diversity in the Hellmann world and beyond.

Before the "ZeKju" driver app, Hellman's Direct Load unit was organized but lacked technical updates, with less than 10% of status reports submitted via app. ZeKju now streamlines processes by allowing digital document submissions through multiple channels, speeding up document processing, reducing order processing time to 2 days, and providing live translations to overcome language barriers.

In 2023, Hellmann launched an Innovation Hub to enhance global operations with advanced technologies. Its robotics deployment in Dubai boosts storage, efficiency, and delivery speeds while leveraging tools like blockchain. This initiative enables businesses to scale logistics services, supporting growth. Hellmann plans further robotics rollouts to enhance efficiency and scalability worldwide.

Hellmann helps has donated EUR 64,000 to support eight Children’s Arks near its branches in Germany and Switzerland. This initiative fosters long-term partnerships between Hellmann employees and Die ARCHE, aiming to improve living conditions for disadvantaged children. The donations emphasize the importance of basic care, recognition, and support for children’s potential and future independence.
