OWL Study Fund Foundation
The foundation has set itself the goal of providing students with material and immaterial support in order to enable anyone with the necessary skills and motivation to study.
Sustainability & CSR
At BOGE, we see ourselves as a socially responsible company—in economic, ecological, social, and local terms. Get an overview of the projects and initiatives that we and our employees support.
SUSTAINABILITY AS PART OF OUR DNA
We take responsibility—for people, the environment, and the economy
For us, sustainability is not just an empty phrase, but a corporate philosophy that we live by. The harmony between economy, ecology, and social commitment—now known as corporate social responsibility (CSR)—has been part of our actions for decades. This idea is reflected not only in our production processes, but also in our charitable projects, which we specifically promote in order to actively support the region and society. As a long-established company in East Westphalia-Lippe, we bear responsibility for our region, our employees, and our production processes. At BOGE, sustainability permeates every level of our production:
IMPORTANT COOPERATION
Bethel and Lübbecker Werkstätten GmbH
BOGE supports the disabled workshops Bethel pro Werk v. Bodelschwinghsche Stiftungen und Lübbecker Werkstätten GmbH by ordering a range of items from them every year.
The workshops for disabled people provide an environment where people with physical disabilities or mental health problems can work. They do jobs matched to their abilities, preferences and interests.
STUDENTS GET A TASTE OF PRESSURIZED AIR
BINGO – Career initiative for engineers in East Westphalia-Lippe
The “Career Offensive for Engineers in East Westphalia-Lippe” (BINGO for short), launched by BOGE, aims to inspire young people to pursue a career in engineering—an initiative that is also one of the goals of OWL Maschinenbau.
COMPANIES INTEGRATE REFUGEES
