We support social projects...
... because we care deeply about people
Social Responsibility
We are committed in various ways to supporting people in need. The regional and local initiatives we support include free parcel transport and assistance for organisations and institutions. On a local level, we support clubs, nurseries, schools, hospitals, and hospices in many places.
In our collaborations, we value appreciation, respect, and understanding.

Unsere Azubis machen sich stark fĂĽr ihre Umwelt
Eine tolle Idee fĂĽr eine bessere Umwelt hatten die Auszubildenden der GLS-Zentrale in Neuenstein. Gemeinsam mit einigen ihrer Ausbilder stellten sie eine MĂĽllsammelaktion auf die Beine und sammelten an einem Nachmittag MĂĽll an verschiedenen Stellen in der Gemeinde Neuenstein.
Wir freuen uns ĂĽber so viel Engagement und Leidenschaft im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit und haben die Auszubildenden an diesem Nachmittag gerne von der Arbeit freigestellt.
Danke fĂĽr diese tolle Aktion!

The Bio Bread Box: ensuring a tasty and healthy breakfast
For many years, the GLS depots in Hamburg and Tornesch have supported the Hamburg Bio Bread Box campaign. This year, we delivered around 16,000 boxes in 300 parcels to schools in Hamburg. Thousands of children enjoyed a healthy breakfast in cool, reusable boxes.
The day before, colleagues from the two depots assisted with the packing effort, where the boxes were filled with delicious ingredients by volunteers and loaded into GLS delivery vehicles.
As a company based in Neuenstein for more than 30 years and closely connected to the community, it was a matter close to our hearts to help out.
We are grateful to the Bad Hersfeld church district office for launching the fundraising initiative and are supporting the affected family with a donation of €2,000.

The first prize went to the Neuenstein Football Promotion Club VFFN 2003 e.V.. At the symbolic cheque presentation at the GLS headquarters, Sabrina Arnold, Marcus Schäfer, and Reiner Emmerich celebrated the €2,500 donation together with Patricia Bickel. The club plans to invest the money primarily in youth and children’s development.
The second prize of €1,500 went to the Mansbach Gymnastics Club Jahn 1913 e.V.. The donation was used to purchase new uniforms in club colours for the two majorette dance groups.
Third place in the GLS Donation Contest went to TSV Kerspenhausen, which received a €1,000 donation.
