The collaboration between GEZE and Plan International was launched as part of the company's 150th anniversary in 2013. Since then, 18 of the 150 sponsorships have achieved the defined targets in the corresponding project area. 40 additional sponsorships concluded when the recipient reached the age limit of 18. GEZE has taken on new sponsorships for additional children, who took their place. With these, the company now holds sponsorships for 160 children: 160 years of GEZE equals 160 Plan sponsorships.

GEZE places a particularly high value on getting its employees involved in the social project. As part of this goal, numerous employees are corresponding with sponsored children by mail to engage in discussions with them.
As a family business, we have valued and supported the outstanding work of Plan International for many years. On the occasion of our anniversary, we decided to expand our social engagement with the organisation. We are happy to make a long-term contribution to improving the living conditions of the children, their families, and their communities in this way.
