FAQ

Of course, AEB could also have made regular donations. However, the heart and soul of the AEB-Stiftung is about more than just living corporate social responsibility and associated responsibilities. AEB thrives on people taking action, shaping things, and participating together. And this is provided by the AEB-Stiftung. At the same time, it enables AEB employees to take on responsibility themselves, to grow (both socially and professionally), and to develop further – just as AEB envisions employee development.

The AEB-Stiftung is backed by AEB SE and all its employees. The foundation is administered by the Foundation Board (P. M. Belz and deputy Jochen Günzel) and the Foundation Council.

The AEB-Stiftung's core focus is to strengthen equal opportunities for access to education. Education here can refer to both school education and the discovery and nurture of other (extracurricular) talents. Because this is key for individuals to achieve self-awareness, develop their personality, and change our world.

The AEB-Stiftung supports recognized non-profit legal entities that support educational projects for disadvantaged people. The aim is long-term cooperation and a sustainable partnership. The AEB-Stiftung also expressly supports the commitment and initiative of AEB employees. Our projects are generally proposed by employees and everyone has the opportunity to actively participate in individual projects.

The AEB-Stiftung not only provides monetary support for projects, it also supports the engagement of AEB employees. In addition, the versatile facilities of the AEB headquarters in Stuttgart are made available for select events. 

That hasn’t happened anytime recently ;-) Nevertheless, we’ve got a plan: AEB has established a foundation reserve from which ongoing projects can continue to be funded to an appropriate extent, even if no profits are generated.
