The Josef Fiege Foundation for man and nature

The Josef Fiege Stiftung was founded in 1998 by Heinz and Dr. Hugo Fiege. It bears the name of their father, who died at an early age. The former owners of FIEGE have in the meantime passed the family business to the fifth generation. The foundation primarily holds a consulting capacity for the group and merges all corporate social responsibility activities.

Our organisation.

The Josef Fiege Stiftung is an independent foundation governed by private law. The regional administration of Münster is the foundation’s supervisory authority, while the supreme supervisory authority rests with the Interior Ministry of the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia. The executive bodies of the foundation include the family council and the executive committee.

The family council is represented by the founders, Heinz and Dr. Hugo Fiege and their respective spouses, Ursula and Elisabeth Fiege. Martina Schlottbom (Head of People & Culture Last Mile / Digital Services), Frank Sievers (Director Accounting & Tax), Christoph Mangelmans (Managing Director Consumer Products / Digital Services) and Kai Alfermann (Managing Director Real Estate) have been appointed to the executive committee. Together, both governing bodies carefully select projects that meet the foundation’s support criteria.

Dedicated to our home region.

The primary goal of the Josef Fiege Stiftung is to permanently improve the situation of man and nature. With this in mind, it expresses recommendations on the awarding of funds to facilities and projects that are committed to society’s well-being. Alongside its advisory activities, the foundation is also responsible for supervising and managing donations. Beyond this, it independently establishes any need for donations and organises events of an ecological or social nature.

The decision-makers at the Josef Fiege Stiftung prioritise a regional focus and relevance to the company when it comes to selecting projects. Particular support is given to projects and initiatives born out of the personal commitment of employees. Our donations reach a broad range of beneficiary institutions from such fields as medicine, education, sports, nature, art and culture.

In a dynamic day-to-day business environment, working on the foundation executive board of the Josef Fiege Stiftung is a highly welcome deceleration.

Beyond the co-operation with the Fiege Foundation, this offers insight into FIEGE as a company and thus also into the opportunities for children and young adults within professional training.

Greven Garden
________

We provided funding to the Anne-Frank-Gesamtschule in Greven to renovate the school’s garden. With a donation of € 1,000.00, we transformed the garden into a green paradise. The garden now offers a wonderful setting for breaktimes and serves as a creative location for the young pupils.

FIEGE Christmas Angel
________

Every year during the advent season, we put up a Christmas tree in the foyer of the FIEGE headquarters and hang from it the wish lists of socially disadvantaged children. All employees are invited to fulfil one or several of these wishes to help give the children fond memories of their Christmas festivities. We cooperate with different social facilities from the region as part of the campaign.

Education and Participation
________

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us how important it is to be a part of the digital world. This applies also to education. For this reason, we support the Kinder- und Jugendhilfe St. Mauritz children’s aid by donating laptops. The 40 devices from the FIEGE fundus have given pupils the opportunity to participate in online lessons.

Inner city: Impassable bottleneck or smart hub?

What does the city of the future look like? What role will inner cities play? Many people around the globe are tackling questions like these. One of them is the renowned Danish architect, Jan Gehl who has overseen urban development projects around the world. His conclusion: “A good city is like a good party – people stay longer than really necessary because they are enjoying themselves.”

And to achieve this, our urban centres need to change. New mobility concepts, progressing digitalisation and changing consumer habits put pressure specifically on the brick-and-mortar retail trade. “The problems existed long before Covid did. However, the crisis and here in particular, the lengthy lockdowns acted like an accelerant”, says Felix Koch, Strategic Project Manager City Logistics at Fiege.
