Social commitment - The Reinhold Beitlich Foundation

In 1983, Reinhold Beitlich and his wife Gertrud founded the charitable Reinhold Beitlich Foundation (RBS). In doing so, the founding father of the CHT Group wanted to give part of the profits of his successful chemical company back to society and donate them for the common good.

Beitlich's credo "Helping is part of life" has been practiced in many ways ever since, long after the couple's death. Every year, the foundation supports around 250 social projects and measures in Germany and around the world. The basis of the commitment are annual distributions from the earnings of the CHT Group to the Reinhold Beitlich Foundation. In total, more than 14 million euros have been invested in charitable causes since the 1980s.
