OSRAM

Yrityskansalaisuus

A company like OSRAM has multi-facetted responsibilities in its role as a global citizen. On a local level, employees may become involved with activities in their neighborhood, while globally, the sourcing of materials, goods, and services is both chance and responsibility in dealing with suppliers. Being a responsible citizen, we ensure adherence to all relevant laws and regulations with our compliance organization and also support fine art projects.

Global Compact

OSRAM has a long tradition of acting socially and environmentally responsible. Therefore it was natural for OSRAM to join the UN Global Compact to affirm these values and work towards making them universally accepted throughout the world.

Social commitment
As a global company we do business in many cultures and societies and are involved in local activities. For example, around 90 percent of the employees at our factory in York, USA support the company's charity projects with voluntary work or donations. Employees build houses for the "Habitat for Humanity" scheme, donate clothing and food for needy children and books for the local reading and writing education center.

Development projects
OSRAM works together with NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) for projects in developing countries. These projects include lighting for regions without a permanent power supply, and technology for mobile water purification. The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) is currently testing OSRAM water purification lamps for use in Kenya.

Education
OSRAM China provides support to poor families so that their children can go to school. OSRAM employees provide the children with financial help for day-to-day living.

Art
With our Art Projects at our Munich gallery we promote young artists who take new approaches. The gallery was established 40 years ago. The latest additions are LED lighting masts. On the SEVEN SCREENS in front of OSRAM headquarters in Munich we are displaying digital art in public. Once or twice a year, artists will be invited by OSRAM to develop works of art on a local theme.

Environmental projects
The giant tortoises on the Galapagos Islands are threatened with extinction. Scientists at the Darwin Research Station have given the tortoises a lifeline with the help of OSRAM by incubating their eggs under OSRAM lamps.
