Since 2007 Alcochem has made Financial commitments to projects which are connected to the areas or markets in which Alcochem is active.
Alcochem has set up a few basic rules in which these commitments find their practical execution;
- Projects are set up in co-operation with the partners in the subjected area, where a common contribution should secure the involvement and dedication from both sides. Projects are linked to People (labour conditions) and Planet (environmental conditions)
- A protocol with all our production parties is signed in which no child labour is accepted in any way. This protocol will be controlled and monitored by our own local staff.
- Apart from the nature of the projects mentioned above we dedicate a part of our budget to support programs that are connected to the well-being of children (our future generations).

International Confederation of the Society of St Vincent de Paul
Update December 2025
Lebanon has been in deep crisis for some time, and the recent outbreak of violence has further exacerbated the situation. To provide assistance, Alcochem supports the International Confederation of the Society of St Vincent de Paul. This organization, which works largely with volunteers, works tirelessly to help families who are struggling.
They provide hot meals, meet basic needs and support with school fees, as well as gas, water and electricity costs. Once the war will end, they will also help to repair damage where possible.
In December, the Society of St Vincent de Paul dedicated itself with great commitment to supporting people in need. Thanks to joint efforts, no fewer than 160 boxes of sanitary items and 160 food parcels were distributed to families facing hardship. In addition, 30 students were supported with the payment of their school fees, enabling them to continue their education.
Ongoing support also continued without interruption. On a monthly basis, 30 elderly people receive diapers, and 75 sick individuals are provided with the medicines they need. The kitchen operated at full capacity, supplying more than 100 families each week with three hot meals. During the festive month of December, this effort doubled around Christmas and New Year.
Alongside practical support, there was also room for connection and warmth. On 15 December, a festive Christmas recital took place with approximately 200 attendees, where the true spirit of Christmas could be felt. On 21 December, children and their families gathered in the municipal hall, where Santa Claus and his helpers distributed gifts and sweets to all the children present.
These were special moments that strengthened the valuable bond with the families and children being supported.
Siepomaga foundation
Update December 2025
Since December 2019 Alcochem added a new charity program for people in medical need. This charity program is helping people in Poland to collect money for necessary expensive surgery or medicines. The foundation is focused mainly on children. Each month we donate directy to the charity goal we want to support.
Cooperatiekring Midden Nederland
Update October 2025
In the Netherlands, Alcochem supports projects of the Cooperatiekring Midden Nederland with the focus on opportunity and equality for children. Every child deserves the opportunity to develop in the most optimal way. More and more, background, home situation or finances play a determining role in the development of children and young people. With our donation we offer a better future perspective for all children, young people and young adults in the region of Central Netherlands.

*Entree Amersfoort; a small-scale meeting and activity center for people in the neighborhood who have limited financial means. The aim of the center is to promote knowledge of the Dutch language and society..

*Burger Initiative Foundation Netherlands; supports single individuals, couples, elderly people, and families who are living in hidden poverty.
Prince of Peace Children’s home China
Update October 2025
With a vision not only to do business but to contribute to the future of our world, Alcochem will support the Prince of Peace Children’s home in Tianjin with supplies and materials needed for the children. The first donations of 2024 have been done this month. We have seen that the children are happy in the children’s house. The teachers pay more attention to hygiene and take the children with them every day to play.
Prince of Peace Children’s home provide a home for abandoned children who are disabled, like Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. In 2021 over 150 children live in the Prince of Peace Children’s home with more than 130 teachers and employees taking care of them.
In 1994 Kenneth Yeung established the Prince of Peace Foundation in the U.S., to help American families that wanted to adopt orphans in China. In 1999, he decided to finance an orphanage to be built in China, to foster disabled orphans aged from 0 to 6. After 6 years of preparation, under the cooperation of Prince of Peace Foundation and Civil Administration Bureau of the Wuqing District of Tianjin, the Prince of Peace Children’s Home was built. On July 12, 2004, with an area of 60,000 sq. ft. and a capacity to accommodate 100 children aged under 6, the Children’s Home was officially opened.

Choice in Cambodia
Update December 2024
Choice constructed a water storage unit for safe water deliveries to squatter villages, which is sponsored by Alcochem. At the end of November 2024 we personally visited Choice in Cambodia.
Squatter villages are huts, build on the roadside. Some people who live there have never regained a property since the civil war. Some, mainly women and children, have been deserted or kicked out of the family home. Some have lost their homes through selling homes for medical procedures, banks repossessing their homes or gambling debts. Some are newly marrieds or people that cannot afford a home or rent. Some lost their job and cannot pay the rent.
The bore water in the squatter villages is contaminated with Arsenic, a natural toxin picked up by the river source from the Himalayas. A poison that kills after a number of years of consumption. As the people of the squatter villages are illegally residing on Government land, they cannot provide water tanks or pipe in water. The only option is the delivery. With the help of Alcochem, Choice has been able to provide safe drinking water since about 2012.
During the wet season from about April to October there are problems with road access. The good news about wet season is that the squatters collect rain water in urns. They hold about 500 liters. This water is drinkable but mainly used for bathing.
Choice has realized 2 taps that provide clean water in Angela Village. One crane at each end of the village. We assume that every family in the village can fill 3 containers of 25 liters each week for drinking and cooking. Choice will try to realize more taps in other Villages. The problem is that the families are squatting on Government land and the officials give no priority. The water board need approval before they will connect. It will take some time and until than, we will realize the tap water for the other Villages by using the truck to fill the tank once a week.
On the website of Choice you can find some videos of the Village and the work of Choice. www.choice-cambodia.org/blog/photos-videos/videos
Waterhole Nigeria
Update December 2024
Together with our partner Rotimax Cleaning Multiservices in Nigeria, a water supply has been realized in an area where there is a serious water shortage; Akure in Ondo State. At the end of 2023, Alcochem also financed the installation of solar panels for this purpose. Together with the Rotimax team, the necessary equipment has been installed to provide the water supply with power. This installation will allow local people to use a reliable and sustainable energy source to meet their water supply needs. With this project we trust that we have been able to give something back to society that can change lives.
Alcochem supports Ukraine
Update February 2023
Hospitals in Ukraine are faced with many shortages. Alcochem has therefore started an aid program. Together with Accolade Zorg and TR care, we have now supplied 40 beds and mattresses to the regional Psychoneurological hospital no.2 in Kiev. The beds were donated by Accolade Zorg and Alcochem donated the mattresses with a special discount from TR care.
We are confident that this will contribute to improving patient care in Ukraine.
