Robert Bosch Foundation

The Ehrentag volunteers’ day recognizes people who are committed to helping others. As the Robert Bosch Foundation, we support this initiative because commitment and volunteer work are the foundation of a vibrant society.

Why we support Ehrentag

The Ehrentag shows that our society thrives on the commitment of many. This creates social cohesion and strengthens our democracy. For us, this is a powerful signal.

Why it is important

Whether it’s education, health, climate, or human rights, volunteering creates spaces for encounter, dialogue, and joint action. It helps our society remain diverse, constructive, and sustainable.

Our stance

As a foundation, we open up spaces for exchange and constructive solutions. The Ehrentag emphasizes that commitment deserves appreciation and support.

“Democracy thrives on participation. The Ehrentag honors people who get involved and take responsibility. This commitment is the foundation of an open and sustainable society.”

Bernhard Straub, Managing Director of Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH
