Active month: Doing good for yourself and others

“Be fit as a fiddle”: during our Active Month in May 2024, Team secova has launched a multi-sport challenge. Everyone was free to choose their own personal sporting activity. In addition, they had to come up with an ambitious goal as an individual challenge that they would like to master in the 31 days.
There were two good motivations for both. On the one hand, sporting activity and exercise is good for our health and physical well-being, especially for us office workers. Secondly, there was an additional reward as a further incentive – but not directly for themselves: The 14 Secovians who actually achieved their self-selected goals were allowed to choose a social project as their personal donation goal. secova has now transferred 100 euros to each of them, so that we were able to distribute a total of 1,400 euros in donations. We think: Every drop of sweat was worth it!

We were able to support the following organizations:
– Children’s Cancer Aid Münster e.V.
– NABU Foundation National Natural Heritage
– Klinikclowns im Kreis Steinfurt e.V.
– 4A Asoc. Amigos de los Animales de Arico
– K.F.F. Mettenheim e.V.
– Run for their Lives e.V.
– outpatient hospice initiative Steinfurt e.V.
– German Cancer Aid
– Sea Shepherd Germany e.V.
– Catholic parish of St. Anna Neuenkirchen
– German Lifesaving Society e.V.
– Unicef
– Rafiki yangu – Help for Africa e.V.
– Friends of Podencorosa e.V.

The sporting challenges faced by the Secovians varied greatly, depending on personal preference and inclination. The achievements ranged from 1,000 push-ups and 1,000 km of cycling to several 100,000 steps in the month of May. However, it is at least as important for us to provide an incentive for more and regular exercise through our Active Month. So we are delighted when a colleague has now incorporated a push-up routine into his daily routine together with his wife. Or about the fact that around 20 colleagues arrived by bike for the annual strategy check at the campsite in Schüttorf. Sport brings people together and can simply be fun. All the better if this can also help others…

We at secova are happy to donate in the hope of making the world a little bit better. People and organizations that contribute to this through their commitment and work deserve the support of us all. We are convinced that much more is needed and possible here. Whether private individuals or companies – we should all think about our options and then, ideally, take appropriate action. A small personal sacrifice can then add up to a big social gain, and not just materially. We would be delighted if we could gain like-minded people and fellow campaigners here. As a company, but also as Team secova, we would like to continue to be actively involved in this spirit.
