HENSOLDT has been involved with Lachen Helfen e.V. since 2018

This commitment is particularly important given the nature of our industry. As a company in the defence and security industry, HENSOLDT is not only responsible for technological excellence, but also for people. A visible example of this is our long-standing membership in the Lachen Helfen e.V. association, which has been in place since 2018.

"As a company that develops technologies for security and protection, we see it as our duty to make a contribution that goes beyond our products. For us, security means not only defence capability, but also humanity, responsibility and solidarity with the weakest members of society," says Oliver Dörre, CEO of HENSOLDT.

Lachen Helfen e.V. is an initiative of the German Armed Forces dedicated to supporting children and families in need – especially in crisis and conflict regions and in the vicinity of German Armed Forces locations. The association combines humanitarian commitment with the experience and network of the armed forces. It is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Defence, which underlines the close connection between social commitment and state responsibility.

The cooperation with Lachen Helfen e.V. is therefore particularly in line with HENSOLDT's values. It combines our proximity to the German Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence with a clear humanitarian focus. We are proud to have been a member and sponsor of Lachen Helfen e.V. for many years, thereby making a lasting contribution – for children, for families and for a society that stands together even in difficult times.
