Social commitment: locally and internationally
We as PCC help where it’s needed – for a better future
PCC has been committed to social and societal issues for many years – both in the vicinity of the group headquarters in Duisburg and internationally. Our subsidiaries also support social initiatives; for example, our US subsidiary PCC Chemax, Inc. in Piedmont, South Carolina, has been a partner of a support facility for children with disabilities for many years. In total, the PCC Group supported 69 social projects last year.
Initiatives at our Group headquarters in Duisburg
For several years, we have been supporting the association Gemeinsam gegen Kälte Duisburg e.V. (Together Against Cold Duisburg) through donations. With tireless dedication, the voluntary members of this non-profit association have been caring for people in Duisburg who are homeless or at risk of homelessness for over two decades. Learn more about our donations for the years 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
In addition, we have also supported the German Child Protection Association at our hometown Duisburg (Deutscher Kinderschutzbund OV Duisburg e.V.) with a donation, especially in funding its “PlusPunktDU” project. The objective of this project is to provide advice and support to girls and young mothers from difficult social and family backgrounds in Duisburg on their way to vocational training and work.
The PCC Stadium at our home location
The stadium of the regional soccer division VfB Homberg e.V. is located near our Group headquarters. Since 2003, we have been the name sponsor of the PCC Stadium and the main sponsor of the soccer club. In this way we reiterate our solidarity with our home location.
Our children’s house at the Amani Orphans’ Home in Mbigili
Since 2007, PCC SE has been supporting the African aid project AOHM – Amani Orphans’ Home in Mbigili in Tanzania. PCC is committed to helping those who urgently need our assistance. By constructing a children’s home, which was completed in September 2008, we aim to contribute to greater social responsibility.
With its own solar power system, the children’s house – which incidentally bears the Swahili name “uhai” meaning “life” – has a virtually constant supply of electricity. In addition, we also offer study grants as a further means of providing access to a better future.
