Sozial Commitment
Company Kindergarten
Balancing family and working life forms part of the background of demographic trends and the lack of a skilled workforce is one of the major social issues we currently face.Since August 1, 2008 VKF Renzel has been running its own company kindergarten Isselburger Feld (formerly "FabeLand") under the auspices of the AWO.
This gives our employees an advantage when it comes to finding an easy passageway back into work, and therefore allows our company to make use of your know-how as professional craftsmen.

Scouts in Isselburg
Since its founding in 1950, the Scouts in Isselburg have been a firm part of the local community. After several challenging years without a permanent site, the old waterworks in Isselburg was established as their new location in 1994.
Following Storm Friederike in 2018, the approximately 60-year-old monoculture of spruce trees gradually began to die off. With great effort, work is being carried out to redesign the woodland by gradually removing dead spruce trees and invasive cherry laurels, and planting a variety of native deciduous trees.
Today, the DPSG troop – the Scouts in Isselburg – includes around 50 children and young people. A dedicated support association actively assists by leasing the site and providing financial support, helping to offer meaningful experiences in nature for our members.

Recruitment of potential Stem Cell Donors
Together with the German Bone Marrow Donor Center (DKMS) VKF Renzel launched a campain on Nov. 24th 2014 to find new stem cell donors. The goal was to find as many potential life-savers amoungst the VKF Renzel employees as possible. The support from the employe side was enormous and 95 new stem cell donors were found.
In Germany, every 16 minutes a person comes down with blood cancer amoung many children or teenagers.
For a large number the transfer of healthy stem cells is the only life saver. Many do not find a suitable donor though.
The registration cost of 50€ per new donor were donated from VKF Renzel to DKMS.
