Overview of the year
Where help is needed, Repower gets down to it
March
Including stakeholders and local communities is key to our sustainability strategy. One example of our social engagement is the “Repower packt an” (“Repower gets down to it”) campaign.
“Repower packt an” is an initiative involving our employees launched by Repower in 2024 as part of its 120th anniversary celebrations. “The aim is to make a positive impact on local communities by way of voluntary work,” explains project manager Seraina Salzgeber. “Our employees got involved in a dozen projects ranging from supporting non-profit organisations to helping local associations. The focus wasn’t on financial support, but on direct action and drawing on our know-how and network.”
One noteworthy project took place in March in Laax. Thirty families with children suffering from cancer met for a winter weekend made possible by Repower in collaboration with the Stiftung Sonnenschein foundation and the Weisse Arena Group. Our employees made sure of an unforgettable experience for these families by giving a hand with various activities such as skiing and winter hiking.
They also contributed their muscle power, for example to build a new fence for the Sumvitg fishing club at Lag da Laus. Over the Whitsun weekend, participants dismantled the old fence, dug out foundation holes and set posts for the new fence. This project helped maintain and improve the infrastructure at what is a popular excursion destination in the Surselva.
Our people gave both their energy and their passion to these projects. This helped strengthen the sense of community within the company and the bond with local communities.
