BMW Group pays tribute to employees’ social commitment.
The very first “BMW Group Award for Social Commitment of Employees” was presented at an official ceremony held at the BMW Museum in Munich. Award winners included Dr. Gerald Degen, a BMW Group executive who has been involved in fighting poverty in China and Germany, and the cooperative venture, “Die Ofenmacher e.V.” (“The Oven Makers”), a group of twelve employees committed to building safe ovens in developing countries. The Doppelfeld Foundation also awarded a special prize for commitment among young people to 24-year-old Klaus Daminger for his volunteer work for the ambulance service.
