ID among the top 5 in “Social Entrepreneurship” in the Euskirchen district

District Administrator Markus Ramers announced the “Social Entrepreneur Kreis Euskirchen” competition for the first time. Out of a total of 15 companies that had applied, an independent jury nominated the top 5, including ID, represented by Lea Gottschalk and Jens Janke. All five companies presented their measures on January 30 at a final pitch in the Ideenfabrik Euskirchen. The winners were then chosen.

In short 3-minute pitches, the five candidates ID Engineering, Marienborn gGmbH (Zülpich), Marien-Hospital Euskirchen (Euskirchen), Papstar GmbH (Kall) and Pfeifer & Langen GmbH & Co. KG (Euskirchen) presented their strategies and measures for socially sustainable management in their companies. The audience finally voted Pfeifer & Langen GmbH & Co. KG into first place, while PAPSTAR GmbH and MARIENBORN gGmbH came in second and third. In addition to a certificate, the winners each received a voucher that can be used for the filming of an advertising film, professional health coaching and a team-building event.

The jury praised the winner Pfeifer & Langen in particular for the aspects: fair working conditions, inclusion, long-term employee support and sustainable, ethically sound supply chains.

There was no sign of disappointment among the SDG-Scouts® – business, Lea Gottschalk and Jens Janke. They were happy for the winners and that they themselves had come so far with their application.

Their pitch was carefully prepared and underpinned with strong images. They presented the social aspects of ID: family-friendly employer, NRW talents, SDG scouts, Jobrad and the cooperation with the Ideenfabrik. Finally, they presented the new ID logo with the slogan “Vision to Value”. It is intended to underline ID’s commitment to a social and sustainable future.
