01/07/2010

Lending of the certificate "socially engaged 2010" by the patrons Dr. Gebhard Fürst and Ministers of Trade and Commerce Ernst Pfister for Dr. Walser Dental, manufacturer of the Walser dental matrices.

The owner the Dr. Walser Dental GmbH in Radolfzell, Senator h.c. Gerhard R. Daiger, was honoured at the 30.06.2010 for the engagement which is voluntary and going beyond the real business activity in the context of a solemn ceremony in the house of the economy in Stuttgart/Germany in front of more than 400 invited guests out of economy, politics and church.

Under the name "LEA - performance - engagement - recognition" the voluntary social engagement of medium-sized enterprises became deemed worthy and moved in the focus of the attention in this evening. An eleven-man jury, whose occupation consisted of "high-carat personalities from economy and society", decided on the prize-winners. The SME Award for social responsibility in Baden-Württemberg is accompanied by the Institute for Social Marketing in Stuttgart scientifically and is a project of Caritas in partnership with the Ministry of Trade and Commerce Baden-Württemberg. 

Mentioned were projects of enterprises, who contribute together with a welfare association, a social organisation, initiative or facilities for the solution of public and social problem definitions in the areas of work and education, integration, family as well as culture and sports.
