As one of the largest employers in the region and a globally active company, the MERKUR GROUP sees itself as part of society and does everything possible to reinforce its strength. The MERKUR GROUP expresses its affinity with the local region again and again by making numerous donations – to the ‘Lübbecker Land Tafel’ foodbank and the Lübbecke animal shelter, for example. The company is also delighted to support local schools and kindergartens, as well as sports clubs.
Besides supporting associations and social projects, the MERKUR GROUP also focuses on health promotion. In collaboration with the regional savings banks, it therefore initiates the annual “Schlaganfall-Info-Tour” (stroke information tour) through the Altkreis Lübbecke district. This tour means that there are ten treatment days on which you can have yourself examined (free of charge) by a doctor for your own personal risk factors. This offer is one that is very dear to Paul Gauselmann’s heart, who is the initiator of the tour and a long-standing board member of the “Schlaganfall” – Neurologische Klinik Minden e. V. charitable stroke trust. Since the start of the tour in 2002, almost 6,000 participants have so far had check-ups.
