As an evangelical welfare association,
The Diakoniewerk Essen, an evangelical welfare association, operates under the guiding principle of "Shaping Life Together." It offers a wide range of social services for people of all ages, from daycare to senior and nursing care[1][2].
Human compassion is the basis of the actions of the more than 1,600 full-time and numerous volunteer employees. This basis enables the Diakoniewerk to break new ground and continuously develop[1].
The Diakoniewerk Essen is also committed to implementing the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), which has been in force since January 2023. This law promotes compliance with human rights and environmental standards in the supply chain through effective complaint procedures[2]. This demonstrates the Diakoniewerk's commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.
Through its comprehensive commitment and many years of experience, the Diakoniewerk Essen has become a central partner in the social infrastructure of the region and makes a significant contribution to strengthening the community.
