The war in Ukraine is causing inconceivable suffering to the people. Children and families are particularly hard hit by the attacks. For this reason, the Vaillant Group held a fundraising campaign through which all employees were able to support the humanitarian aid of our long-standing partner "SOS Children's Villages worldwide".
255,000 euros for children and families in Ukraine
The employees of the Vaillant Group donated a clear six-digit amount by the end of the fundraising campaign, which the company has topped up. Overall, the Vaillant Group can thus hand over 255,000 euros to SOS Children's Villages, which provides a broad programme of aid for children and families in Ukraine. The overwhelming willingness to help within the Vaillant Group shows that the success of the Vaillant team can not only be measured in business figures.
Because every child needs a warm home
The Vaillant Group and "SOS Children's Villages worldwide" have been linked by an international partnership since 2013. The company has already supported the children's aid organization in 23 countries - with highly efficient heating technology and social projects.

The British government is considering the increased use of hydrogen in buildings as a source of clean energy. With funding from government, two major projects are currently ongoing, “Hy4heat” and “HyDeploy”, which are looking into the use of hydrogen for heating.
Demand for Vaillant Group heat pumps has been growing strongly for years. One reason for this: models are available for every need.
The Vaillant Group develops heating appliances based on hydrogen. As a CO₂-neutral gas, hydrogen can contribute to the decarbonisation of buildings. It’s not just the environment that benefits.
Why would somebody want to renovate the remains of ancient ruins from the 15th century in order to make it into a home? … For the family!
That’s what it’s all about: heating technology that quite literally makes for a warm home. Since the partnership was sealed in 2013, the Vaillant Group has been equipping SOS Children’s Villages with heating technology in some 20 countries, sometimes just one device, sometimes complete systems for entire villages.
In 2018, the Vaillant Group and “SOS Children’s Villages worldwide” agreed to continue their existing partnership.

In 2018, two new SOS Children’s Villages were opened in quick succession in western France. They now offer around 70 children a warm and cosy home. Saunier Duval kitted out the houses – 15 in total – with modern heating technology.
It was the biggest SOS Children’s Villages project in the history of the Vaillant Group in France. Fifteen large family homes split between two villages were in need of a heating system that conserved as much energy as possible.
