Social Commitment
Tradition and innovation – it’s the combination of the two that makes Rhenus Lub stand out from the crowd. By thinking and acting with a long-term view, we act as an innovation leader in the field of industrial lubricants.
Founded in 1882, Rhenus Lub is a successful and independent, privately run company with international subsidiaries and distributors.
Rhenus Lub takes responsibility
Rhenus Lub believes in respect and dedication – and therefore in social commitment at a personal level. In this regard, the family that owns Rhenus Lub focuses on individual, carefully selected initiatives and projects.
Wissenscampus MG – shaping the future with knowledge
Greater innovation, cutting-edge science and improvements in regional integration: with Wissenscampus MG, Mönchengladbach is getting itself in shape for the future. The driving force behind this project is the association of the same name, “Wissenscampus MG”, which brings together a broad alliance of stakeholders from regional industry, academia, politics, administration and society.
As a research-driven family company from Mönchengladbach, Rhenus Lub is also committed to this future-oriented project, which is intended to encourage knowledge generation and structural change in the region.
Student café funding project
Since 2012, Rhenus Lub has been involved in a variety of projects that focus on healthy eating at the Förderzentrum Mönchengladbach-Nord educational centre.
Particularly through its specialised support for each student, which is one of the school’s core values, this institution plays an important role in Mönchengladbach. And Rhenus Lub recognises its significance.
Initiativkreis Mönchengladbach
Since its founding in the spring of 2003, the members of Initiativkreis Mönchengladbach (the Mönchengladbach initiative group) have taken it upon themselves to provide impetus and food for thought in their home city with a view to actively shaping the city’s future and opportunities and promoting its appeal beyond the local area. Rhenus Lub has also been part of this group since 2006, encouraging positive development and not only fostering Mönchengladbach as a location but also supporting its people.
Clean Up MG e.V.
The Clean Up MG association was founded in Mönchengladbach in 2002. The initiative of entrepreneurs and committed citizens has set itself the task of promoting a sense of responsibility for a clean and attractive city and improving the local situation through specific actions. At the beginning of 2025, the association was handed over to the next generation of young entrepreneurs and managers from Mönchengladbach. This includes Isabella Kleeschulte as one of the new Board members. Rhenus Lub supports the initiative and emphasises the importance of responsible action – especially for the region around the company headquarters in Mönchengladbach.
The Global Compact – Achieving corporate sustainability
In keeping with our corporate culture at Rhenus Lub and as an active member of the UN Global Compact initiative, we stand up for human rights, working standards and environmental protection in the long term. Here, the aim is to make the economy fairer and more sustainable within our sphere of influence and to address current problems.
