New record for STADTRADELN 2023!
STADTRADELN 2023 started on the 1st of May in our offices in Fürth, Münster and Ulm and ended on the 28th of September, when our colleagues in Hamburg cycled the last few kilometres for a noble cause. Over the 5 months, 175 employees from nineteen locations took part in this campaign. They cycled all over Germany – on their way to work, to the bakery or for a weekend out on the mountain bike trails.
In total, our employees cycled 33,713 km, saving 5,461 kg of CO₂! But it is not just the environment that benefits from this physical exertion. In 2023, Rödl & Partner will donate 0.50€ to the Rödl Employee Fund for Children’s Aid for every kilometre cycled as part of the STADTRADELN campaign. This year, the funds will go to the language project “Hallo Klexi – wir lernen Deutsch” (Hello Klexi – we’re learning German), which supports children from socially disadvantaged families as well as children with a migration background in learning German as a second language.
Outstanding performance
In 2023, we are particularly proud of the performance of the Rödl & Partner team in Mettlach, who took first place in the municipal ranking. The thirteen participating colleagues travelled an average of 223 km per person, which is roughly the distance from Munich to Würzburg! A remarkable distance that saved a total of 470 kg of CO₂.
During the three-week campaign, our colleagues Dr. Andreas Schmid (2.111 km), Jonathan Gemeinhardt (1.656 km) and Tobias Boss (1.047 km) from the Nuremberg office put in some remarkable individual performances! In recognition of their efforts, the cyclists were presented with gift cards from Bikedevilz.
Support for the language project “Hello Klexi – we are learning German”
Rödl & Partner’s donation of 16,857€ was rounded up by the Rödl Employee Fund for Children’s Aid, so that in the end 18,000€ were donated to the “Hallo Klexi – wir lernen Deutsch” language project.
“Hallo Klexi – wir lernen Deutsch” is a language project for children between the ages of 3 and 10 who are learning German as a second language. The learning programme supports educators, teachers and carers in kindergartens and primary schools. They are provided with learning packages, that promise to teach the German language in a playful way.
Finally, we would like to thank all our colleagues who took part for this extraordinary team effort! 33,713 kilometres covered means that together we have cycled almost once around the world – an important contribution to climate protection and our society!
