Retarus helps: Munich-based IT company donates 100,000 euros to victims of the war in Ukraine

More employees are currently on their way to the Ukrainian border. Other Retarus employees have taken refugees into their homes or are supporting victims of the war by donating money, items, or their time. Retarus has long given staff the opportunity to participate as volunteers in social projects. To encourage participation in charitable initiatives, for many years now Retarus has given each of its 500 employees two days off every year to volunteer for projects. These “Retarus Helps” days have now been doubled due to the current situation, allowing each employee to increase their own contributions accordingly. This is not intended to be a one-off effort, but rather provide ongoing support.

Just how crucial it is to take a clear stance at this time is underlined by Martin Hager, Founder and CEO of Retarus: “We’re apalled by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which is increasingly being waged on the civilian population on a large scale. It is absolutely unjustifiable. In this hour of need, we have a duty to provide quick and unbureaucratic assistance to those who have fled their homes, while also supporting the aid workers in our neighboring countries which border Ukraine.

I’m proud of my employees, who have spontaneously declared their willingness to bring relief supplies to the Ukrainian border and provide help in other ways, for instance by providing a room to accommodate refugees. Our donation of over 100,000 euros has been portioned out to our country organizations around the globe to support local Ukraine aid initiatives. We earnestly hope that all hostilities and acts of war are swiftly brought to an end and that negotiations lead to lasting peace and freedom for the people living in Ukraine.”
