Commitment

Socially Relevant Projects

Companies are neither charitable institutions nor substitutes for governmental responsibilities. We are all integral parts of society and benefit equally from values such as infrastructure, education, social cohesion, and democracy—foundations that neither individuals nor companies have created on their own. It is for this reason that we assume responsibility and engage voluntarily in areas where the focus lies not on corporate benefit, but on the common good from which everyone draws value.

Since its inception, GAULY has been committed to supporting institutions and initiatives that are vital to a humane and forward-looking society. We make these 'public investments' both through pro bono contributions by our consultants and through financial donations.

Current Projects

Kavita & Teresa

The film and charity project 'Kavita & Teresa', which portrays the life of the founder of the religious order and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mother Teresa, reveals 'the woman behind the saint' and explores themes such as the search for meaning in life.

The project was initiated by producer and actress Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz through the non-profit Zariya Foundation and was realized in collaboration with screenwriter and director Kamal Musale. The production was entirely funded through donations. All proceeds, along with additional contributions, continue to benefit charitable organizations that support underprivileged children—particularly in India—in the areas of education and healthcare.

GAULY acted as a strategic partner to the project, providing advisory support in the development of its communications strategy.
