Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has launched a series of social impact projects to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 around the world, including a series of initiatives to help African nations impacted by the crisis.
The company’s global campaign covered donations of €1m worth of healthcare supplies and other relief to hospitals and communities with €350,000 dedicated to African countries severely impacted by COVID-19.
These donations are in addition to the company’s pledge to match staff donations up to €1 million for the International Federation of Red Cross ‘COVID 19 Emergency Appeal’ campaign, according to a recent statement by the company.
The aid that Siemens Gamesa provided across many African nations benefitted over 100.000 individuals in Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Kenya, and Jordan through donations of food, sanitary product donations and warm clothing.
“We feel it is our responsibility to contribute where we can and help mitigate the effects of this crisis as much as possible. The team at Siemens Gamesa is very proud to work at a company that places value on community,” said Sonia Adnane, Head of Communications and Public Affairs Africa.
“We hope these acts of social commitment will lay the foundation for a greater spirit of community to support long-term sustainable development across the continent.”
