Social commitment

Our Projects

Social engagement 2024

In 2024, we once again demonstrated our strong commitment to social responsibility by supporting a wide range of nonprofit organizations that work to improve the lives of people, protect animals, and preserve the environment.

Our donations went to several organizations, including Viva con Agua, which promotes global access to clean drinking water, and Die Seenotretter (DGzRS), who save lives at sea every day. We also supported the WWF in its mission to protect endangered species and natural habitats, and the foundation Große Hilfe für Kleine, which provides care and support for critically ill children and their families.

In addition, we contributed to the Evangelische Gesamtkirchengemeinde Esslingen in support of their local social initiatives, to the Parkinson-Verbund, which advocates for people affected by Parkinson’s disease and their families, and to the DKMS, in their fight against blood cancer. We also supported the local DRK (German Red Cross) chapter in Baltmannsweiler, which provides assistance in medical and social emergencies, as well as the Esslingen Animal Welfare Association, which cares for and protects animals in need. Last but not least, we made a donation to the ProKlinikum Esslingen support association, which works to ensure the best possible care for patients at the Esslingen hospital.

We sincerely thank all of these organizations for their valuable work and look forward to continuing to take an active role in promoting social responsibility in the future.

Social engagement 2023

In 2023, social engagement continued to be a core part of our corporate culture. We were pleased to once again support several nonprofit organizations through donations. Among others, we contributed to Viva con Agua for their work in promoting global access to clean drinking water, to Die Seenotretter (DGzRS) for their tireless efforts to save lives at sea, to the WWF for protecting endangered species and their habitats, and to the Große Hilfe für Kleine foundation, which supports critically ill children and their families.

With a heavy heart, we had to discontinue our support for tradition-ES this year, as the organization ceased its activities at the end of 2023. Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the association was no longer able to actively support residents in nursing homes. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire tradition-ES e.V. team for their many years of dedicated volunteer work and wish them all the best for the future.

A special note: Our CEO, Dr. Frank Marcial, was an active member of the tradition-ES entrepreneurial network, which was strongly committed to senior citizen projects in the Esslingen region.

Social engagement 2022

True to our motto “donations instead of gifts”, we are again supporting charitable projects this year and are doing without analogue Christmas cards and gifts. Every inPuncto employee was able to actively participate in the selection of the organizations to be supported and include them in the social projects of our company. inPuncto was happy to donate to projects that are close to the heart of the employees:

Project of the non-profit association VAMOS JUNTOS, which does social street work in La Paz and supports shoe shiners and their families. By designing postcards with textiles in the national tradition, these families can compensate for some financial losses in bad weather and in times of the pandemic. VAMOS JUNTOS offers the postcards in Germany – mainly in schools, weekly markets and world shops.

The DKMS non-profit GmbH (formerly Central Bone Marrow Donor Registry for Germany), which gives support and hope with its projects for the blood cancer patients.

Other charitable organizations and their projects, such as the sea rescuers fleets, who have set themselves the task of providing search and rescue on the North and Baltic Seas – around the clock, in all weathers. The German Committee for Unicef, the Friends of the Proklinikum Esslingen, the German Red Cross local association Baltmannsweiler, the German Committee for UNICEF e.V., Riding Club Bruchhausen, the music projects of the Volker Rosin Foundation for the support of children with physical and/or mental disabilities, the organizations Viva con Agua, Médecins Sans Frontières, wünschdirwas (make a wish).

Unfortunately, it was difficult again this year for the entrepreneur network tradition-ES, where our managing director Dr. Frank Marcial is an active member to implement social projects and campaigns for older people due to the corona measures. All members are looking forward to a positive development of the situation next year and to the opportunity to implement new social projects and to bring joy to the seniors in a variety of ways!

Social engagement 2020/2021

Even the years marked by the Corona crisis could not keep us away from social engagement. It has become tradition for us to support various social organizations with donations instead of Christmas gifts.

One of them is the Volker Rosin Foundation. With our donations, we support children with physical and / or mental disabilities, as well as children with a migration background, whose social skills and structures are strengthened through music projects in which music is combined with play, theater or movement.

The advice center KOBRA e.V. against violence and sexual violence exercised against children and adolescents was very important to us. Especially in times of Corona, such support offers are very important, as the violent attacks are unfortunately increasing in some families.

Another donation went to the local DRK association in Baltmannsweiler. This is primarily involved in the social field, in the medical service as well as in humanitarian aid and disaster control. This year the DRK offered a shopping service for all citizens (risk groups and infected people in quarantine) who have no support in the communities of Baltmannsweiler and Lichtenwald.

The rescue of the shipwrecked is also close to our hearts and we donate a contribution to the safe equipment and technology of the sea rescuers fleets. We also supported the Riding Club Bruchhausen, which aims to “enable everyone regardless of their mental or physical constitution, their age and budget to ride and handle horses”, with a donation.

In 2021, donations also went to the following organizations: foundation “Große Hilfe für kleine Helden” (Great Help for Small), German Committee for Unicef, DKMS, Nabu, Viva con Agua, Médecins Sans Frontières, The German Deafblind Centre, wwf, wünschdirwas (make a wish), association ProKlinikum Esslingen.

Our CEO Dr. Frank Marcial is still an active member of the entrepreneur network tradition-ES, which is committed to senior projects. Although many of the planned social projects for 2020 and 2021 should be postponed at a later date due to the coronavirus, the non-profit entrepreneurial association has implemented some campaigns, including the thank-you- campaign for the nursing staff at the Esslingen elderly care homes.

Social projects and employee engagement 2019

Like every year we we made our contribution to society by donating to some charitable organizations instead of giving Christmas presents.

For example, in spring we have donated to UNICEF to help families affected by the flood in Mozambique and children in need in Yemen. We also supported the Riding Club Bruchhausen with a donation shortly before Christmas. In addition, our employees personally suggested the organizations they were eager to support and eventually donated to them. These included Seenotretter, viva con Agua, Kobra, Große Hilfe and Frauen helfen Frauen.

A special social project for inPuncto remains the cooperation with the non-profit organization tradition-ES, which has been committed to seniors in the Esslingen area for years. Our CEO Dr. Frank Marcial is still an active member: in 2019 tradition-ES co-organized and financed several events for residents of several nursing homes in Esslingen.

Social commitment 2018

Meaningful donations instead of presents

InPuncto places great value on social commitment and is involved year after year in numerous projects of Plan International Deutschland e.V. In 2018, with our donations we supported Peruvian mothers in organizing their own small business and young families in Sudan to fight nutritional deficiencies and joined a Disaster Relief Fund for affected children. We also helped to organize savings groups in Ghana for the sustainable use of drinking water, and enabled health workers in Uganda to be more mobile.

Volunteering at tradition-ES

In addition, our CEO Dr. Frank Marcial personally supports the entrepreneur network tradition-ES, which is committed to senior citizens in the Esslingen area. Numerous events have been organized this year and the generous donations have been fully invested in new projects for elderly.

Social engagement in 2017

Donations instead of gifts

Since 2010 we dispense with Christmas gifts and contribute to various projects of Plan International Deutschland e.V. with our donations instead. As in previous years, we can support, inter alia, the combat of malnutrition among children in South Sudan and the increase mobility for midwives in Laos.
Furthermore, our CEO Dr. Frank Marcial is a member of the entrepreneur network tradition-ES in Esslingen, Germany, and personally engaged in projects for the elderly.

In June 2017 we made donations to UNICEF. In this way, we could support the aid organization to supply famine affected regions in Africa with clean drinking water, food and medicine.

Dispense with presents and donate instead: personal commitment – 2016

As in previous years, in 2016 we dispensed with Christmas presents for the benefit of various social projects by Plan International Deutschland e.V.

He helped building a raised flower bed for a retirement home, collecting donations during and after the EZ marathon, as well as organizing feats in retirement homes in Esslingen.

News about our godchild Ardelsham – 2014

With the sponsorship contribution by inPuncto, we supported diverse local projects for the region of Guli (Sudan) in the areas health and education, which benefit our 13 years old godchild.

Cooking trolley and personal engagement – 2014

Together with the members of the entrepreneur network tradition-ES, Dr. Frank Marcial handed a cooking trolley to the residents of the retirement home in Esslingen Berkheim. The handmade unique piece was inaugurated with Maultaschen and Champagne, and is since then being enthusiastically used by the elderly residents.
