Corporate Social Responsibility

Regional commitment

Regional sports are important to us at softgate. That is why we have been supporting the annual Erlangen M-net Triathlon and the soccer department of ATSV Erlangen for many years.

Our sporty colleagues are in the starting blocks for participation in regional sporting events.

Social commitment

We also attach great importance to social commitment. In addition to monetary donations, softgate is a collection station for Geschenk mit Herz, an organization that helps children from difficult backgrounds have a wonderful Christmas.

In addition, our first sofgate Charity Cup will take place in 2023, where teams of customers and partners will compete for prize money, which the winner will donate to a charitable organization.

Ecological commitment

The topic of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important at softgate. Our softgate jackets have a fair-fashion label and a car-sharing model for additional company cars is now also used by our employees.

Due to our central location in Röthelheimpark, many employees come to work by bicycle or e-car.
