It is and remains a beautiful tradition not only to give relatives and friends Christmas presents, but also to thank customers and business partners for a successful year with a gift in return. The dental company VOCO, located in Cuxhaven, this year decided to focus on sustainability instead of material gifts – and donated 20.000 Euros to the private aid organisation “Doctors Without Borders”.

 

“At VOCO, we work daily on producing and developing high quality dental materials for patients worldwide. Therefore, it is an absolute matter of the heart for us to also support people in need, with no access to medical care due to war or crises”, says Dr Axel Bernecker, Marketing director.

 

“We would like to thank VOCO for their donation. This valuable support makes it possible for us to help and save lives in around 70 countries worldwide”, says Melanie Silbermann of “Doctors Without Borders”.

 

Throughout the year, VOCO was also socially engaged to several projects internationally and locally: as part of „VOCO Dental Aid“, numerous dental aid organisations received product packages to quickly help needy people in developing countries or crisis areas. Directly at the company location, VOCO again supported several facilities such as day care centres, schools, hospice groups or the “Tafel”, a German volunteer based organisation who donates food to needy people.
