Last year, SaarLB, Landesbausparkasse Saar (LBS), their employees and the staff council organised numerous campaigns to collect donations for a good cause. A total of €17,500 was raised for various charitable organisations in Germany and France. The donations are used for specific projects that support disadvantaged people and sustainable development.
Organisations and projects supported Katrin Spelz (Head of Human Resources and Communication at SaarLB), Sascha Matheis (Spokesman of the Board of Management of LBS) and Frank Humburg (Chairman of the Staff Council) presented the donations to the institutions at a handover ceremony held in the former customer hall of the Franco-German Bank.

This is an important signal for us as a German-French bank, and at the same time we are honouring the outstanding commitment of the volunteers in these organisations,’ said Katrin Spelz, Head of Human Resources & Communication at SaarLB.
‘LBS Saar has been standing by the people in the region for many years. It is important to us to support initiatives that achieve great things with great commitment – for society, for future generations and for a sustainable future,” adds Sascha Matheis, spokesperson for the management of LBS.
