ECM RISE - Our commitment to social responsibility

Social Engagement as Part of Our Responsibility

ECM stands for quality, passion, and long-term thinking. We are convinced that business success also brings with it responsibility—responsibility toward society and toward people who have not had the same opportunities as we have.

ECM RISE—Making a Bigger Difference Together for Disadvantaged Children

The English word “rise” means “to stand up,” “to ascend,” or “to develop.” That is exactly what our initiative is all about: giving children the opportunity to rise above their current circumstances and realize their potential.

Through access to education, medical care, and a secure future, we’re working together to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. Every donation helps overcome obstacles and create new opportunities.

Why We Support Child Aid —Education Creates Opportunities

After carefully researching various aid organizations, we made a conscious decision to support the Childaid Networkl. This decision was also influenced by the Hauck family’s personal commitment and their experience supporting the Child Aid Camino de Santiago Charity Run in 2025.

For many years, the organization has been working on behalf of disadvantaged children and young people in Southeast Asia, pursuing a sustainable approach: helping people help themselves. The focus is on education, vocational training, and creating long-term prospects.

Child Aid supports schools, training centers, and educational projects that enable young people to gain access to knowledge, career opportunities, and a self-determined life.

ECM RISE 2026

We are using our anniversary year in 2026 as an opportunity to launch ECM RISE in support of the ChildAid Network. To this end, we invite our employees, customers, retail partners, and friends of the brand to join us in supporting a selected educational project. In 2026, we will use the final donation total to specifically support the Child Aid Nepal project. Every contribution—regardless of the amount—helps open up new opportunities and prospects for young people.

We appreciate any support. If you would like to support the project, please use the accompanying QR code and make your donation with the reference “ECM RISE Child Aid”, We thank all donors for their support.
