Knorr-Bremse Global Care is a global non-profit organization set up by Knorr-Bremse employees to offer new prospects to people who find themselves in need through no fault of their own. It supports projects run by partner organizations in three areas: water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH), education, and emergency relief.
Knorr-Bremse Global Care works primarily in countries with Knorr-Bremse sites so that it can maintain direct contact, wherever possible, with the supported projects, raise awareness of social causes among employees and motivate them to play an active role themselves.
Knorr-Bremse Global Care was set up in 2005 following the devastating tsunami in South-East Asia and has since reached more than 700,000 people through over 270 projects. The Knorr-Bremse Group supports Global Care through regular donations. This is one of the manifestations of corporate social responsibility at Knorr-Bremse.
How Everything Started
The origins of Knorr-Bremse Global Care as a global organization lie in the founding of Knorr-Bremse Global Care e.V. in Germany. The association was set up by employees of the Knorr-Bremse Group in Munich just a few days after the tsunami of December 26, 2004 in South-East Asia.
The aim was to provide rapid, carefully targeted help to the victims of the disaster. Having successfully implemented its first selected aid projects, Knorr-Bremse Global Care continued its work around the world, constantly expanding and professionalizing its activities.
Today, Knorr-Bremse Global Care is the umbrella organization for the association and the two regional independent offshoots, Knorr-Bremse Global Care North America Ltd. in the US and Knorr-Bremse Global Care Asia Pacific in Hong Kong. Most of its funding comes from the Knorr-Bremse Group and donations from individual employees. The commitment of its members and group employees is the lifeblood of the organization.
