#UnbeatableTogether

SCHUFA is a Partner of Special Olympics Germany

As a Partner of Special Olympics Germany (SOG), SCHUFA has made a commitment to help people with intellectual disabilities on their way to greater recognition, self-confidence and participation in society.

The focus of the partnership is the topic “participating in economic life”. We primarily want to make our knowledge, network and experts available for projects that provide financial education for people with disabilities, their families, and also associations and institutions, in order to promote social inclusion.
