Engagement with society

Tchibo aims to help people help themselves, both in the countries where our products are made and in our local neighbourhoods.

At the centre of society

Why, how and to whom Tchibo provides support

Tchibo is a contributing member of society. But being an active player in our community also implies assuming responsibility. We are committed to taking on this challenge – through initiatives that promote education and training as well as community involvement. All our activities are guided by the principle “help them to help themselves”.


We assess the need for action when deciding which projects to launch or support. However, we also want our efforts to be closely related to our core business, making this another key criterion. We engage in activities in coffee-growing countries as well as in cotton-producing countries that supply raw material for our textiles business. We are also committed to community projects in our core sales markets, including Germany and Austria.

Many people do not have access to education in the countries where raw coffee and cotton are produced. By becoming involved in various projects, Tchibo wants to contribute to paving the way for change.

We are an active member of the community, taking on respon­si­bility for the people around us.
