Trust and responsibility are among the fundamental principles guiding our business activities. At SCHUFA, these two concepts are directly linked, because we can only build trust if we also take responsibility—for our business activities and for society.
As part of the “Experience Finance in Frankfurt” initiative, stakeholders from the worlds of politics, finance, and academia have joined forces to offer financial education programs. Even after Global Money Week ends, interested individuals can still participate in select events.
SCHUFA contributes to this effort through its educational initiatives “WirtschaftsWerkstatt” and “SCHUFA macht Schule.” Through this hands-on workshop, SCHUFA aims to strengthen young people’s financial literacy. The workshop focuses on consumer behavior, credit, and SCHUFA’s role in the economy.
With its brochure “All About Money,” SCHUFA contributed content to the Wiesbaden collaborative project aimed at strengthening everyday financial literacy. The publication is aimed specifically at low-income women and offers practical tips on budgeting, keeping track of expenses, and saving money. Developed in cooperation with partners from city administration, social services, and the business community, the project demonstrates how local collaboration can address specific social challenges.
Since 2012, SCHUFA has supported the City of Wiesbaden’s WiesPaten project and has been guiding students at the Albrecht-Dürer-Schule on their educational journey. Through small-group learning, personalized support, and joint activities—ranging from job application training and cooking events to field trips—these young people receive targeted support. This year, SCHUFA mentors once again welcomed a new WiesPaten group and are continuing their commitment with unwavering dedication.
As a partner of Special Olympics Germany (SOD), SCHUFA has been working since 2022 to help people with intellectual disabilities gain greater recognition and participate more fully in society.
Under the motto #GemeinsamStark, SCHUFA will continue to serve as a reliable partner in 2026 and support the National Games in Saarland. The goal is to further strengthen participation, visibility, and recognition in sports.
SCHUFA was awarded the German Prize for Corporate Engagement. The prize was awarded in recognition of our employees' exceptional dedication to the Special Olympics and our strong commitment to inclusion and social cohesion.
