Corporate Social Responsibility

Ahlers Logistics combined the Customer Delight Survey 2024 with a charity initiative, supporting Memisa Belgium. For every completed response received from the customers, our company donated to the organization.

Since 1988, Memisa Belgium has collaboarated with local civil society organizations in Africa to improve healthcare systems. Their work focuses on upgrading health facilities, training medical staff, and ensuring financial access to care. We’re proud to support these crucial efforts and drive meaningful change.

As a part of Easter charity initiative, in 2024, Ahlers Logistics supported 'Stroom 1', a living community within the OLO-Rotonde vzw, in Brasschaat, Belgium. The team provides residential and outpatient care to young people aged between 12 and 18 with behavioral and emotional disorders. With the Easter campaign funds, the living group will embark on a journey to Italy with their pavilion 'Stroom On the Road'. This trip isn't just about exploration; it's a chance to pause their lives and escape the turbulent reality in which they find themselves too often. Ahlers Logistics is happy to support this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Ahlers teamed up with a local football club to spread Christmas joy at UZ Leuven children's hospital.

With the help of Ahlers and other sponsors, the club donated 120 teddy bears in various sizes to bring smiles to the faces of young patients during the festive season. We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this heartwarming initiative and to brighten the holidays for these brave children.

Blood is essential to one’s survival, acting as a way for oxygen and essential nutrients to reach different organs in the body. This is why healthcare institutions are always in need of blood to give a lifeline to patients with serious medical conditions or to nurse them back to health.

During the summer, the Belgian Red Cross organizes blood donations at unique locations, amongst the Port House of Antwerp in 2021.  Our employees were more than happy to participate. After the donation, we were invited for a short guided tour in the beautiful Port House.

Ahlers joins the launch of the third charity regatta Svet.Deti racing to the finish to help children fight cancer.

We sailed on board the ‘Nika’, which brought us victory during the 2020 event. An amazing crew led by captain Vadim Manukhin put much effort and patience so that we learned the basics of yacht sailing in a short time. A tense race, taking second place in 2021. 

All the funds raised will go to help children struggling with cancer.

Acceleration of COVID-19 vaccination is key to getting everybody back into the office safely.

Ahlers took the initiative to bring health services into the office to provide vaccinations, not only for our staff but their relatives, contractors (cleaning, security services), and agency staff.

We vaccinated 74 additional people in the first round, planning more timeslots ahead.

Together with Lavazza, Ahlers Logistics transported 2 tons of coffee for free. This effort facilitated Lavazza's donation of 46,519 coffee packs to support elderly and disabled individuals, low-income families, and volunteer organizations during COVID-19 pandemic.

In partnership with The Belgian Chocolate Group and De Standaard Uitgeverij, Mercy Ships team has created a special gift package with all proceeds supporting their mission.

Distributing the gifts on Saint Nicholas Day to our colleagues in Antwerp, Ahlers makes an impactful contribution to the free operations, treatments, and training of Mercy Ships in Africa. 

Ahlers Logistics took action to support Nochlezhka, one of the oldest charitable organizations, helping homeless people.

Our employees are collecting electronics, batteries, bath and shower products, toiletries, old backpacks, thermos products, and more. We will gift wrap and prepare individual gift bags with a personal message for the homeless people.
