Golden Lily 2026: AOE Honored for the Third Time

AOE is one of 43 companies that the City of Wiesbaden has honored with the Golden Lily 2026 (Goldene Lilie) for their social engagement. After 2020 and 2022, this is our third Lily.

On November 3, Andreas Kowol, the City of Wiesbaden's Head of Social Affairs, presented the Golden Lily at the Wiesbaden Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) in front of around 150 guests. Stefanie Wegner, CEO of AOE Solutions GmbH, and Johannes Feustel, CSR Officer of AOE Solutions GmbH, accepted the award on behalf of AOE.

The Golden Lily makes engagement visible

Many companies in Wiesbaden support their city. Much of this engagement goes unnoticed. The Golden Lily changes that! It honors businesses that voluntarily take responsibility for the common good: through donations, sponsorships and, above all, the time and expertise of their employees.

The award is a joint initiative of the UPJ network for corporate responsibility and the City of Wiesbaden's Office for Social Work. An independent jury selects the winners.

Our engagement: Wiesbaden Engagiert! and WiesPaten

For several years, we have been taking part in several of the city's programs:

Wiesbaden Engagiert!: During the action week, teams from Wiesbaden companies spend a day volunteering on charitable projects. In recent years, for example, we gave the Schelmengraben primary school a fresh coat of paint and built a chicken coop at the Lindenhaus residential facility of EVIM Gemeinnützige Behindertenhilfe.

WiesPaten: Employees from local companies mentor a fixed group of students, usually from grades eight to ten. They get to know each other, plan activities outside the classroom and support the students with career orientation and the transition from school to work. Several students have also completed their two-week school internship with us in Wiesbaden.

CSR Regio.Net Wiesbaden: The network helps mid-sized companies in Wiesbaden develop their social responsibility. We have frequently provided our office space in Wiesbaden for the network's events.

Thank you to everyone who took part

AOE is a Wiesbaden company. Giving back to our city is part of who we are. We are very proud to receive the Golden Lily for the third time, after 2020 and 2022.

This award belongs to our colleagues. Alongside their day-to-day work, they invested their time, mentored students and rolled up their sleeves on projects. Without them, there would be no Lily!
