During the height of the pandemic, IQ-EQ Netherlands wanted to help so they launched an initiative to produce their own face masks to sell, with the proceeds being donated to the Foodbank Amsterdam. The initiative had a social impact at every step of the project, hiring two individuals whose income had dramatically declined since the beginning of the pandemic to provide the fabric and produce the face masks.

On Thursday 19 November, our Luxembourg office participated in a challenge to raise money to support a charity close to their hearts; the European Association against Leukodystrophies (ELA).

With this 1 step = 1 cent motto, our Luxembourg team targeted to reach out 1 million steps before 8pm.
