Social commitment is close to Achim Koerfer's heart. Involvement with relief agencies is one way for the artist to do his bit and try to make a difference. An example of this endeavour is Koerfer's participation in the international project called called ART 4 AID organized by the JCI (Junior Chambers International) of the Netherlands and other sponsors for the benefit of UNICEF. The proceeds from the auction of the artworks donated by artists worldwide performed by Sotheby's went to finance educational programs for children, then education and knowledge are instruments essential to a humane life and in many cases, to sheer survival. Achim Koerfer's efforts in this vein are very apposite as he has made 'development' the leitmotif of his life- not only with respect to his art.


An example of a successfully executed commission is Achim Koerfer's work for the AIDA Cruises fleet, involving the interior decoration of 200 cabins of the line's newest cruise ship, the AIDAluna. AIDA Cruises is not only Germany's premiere cruise ship line but also a tour operator and event organizer of superlatives geared to the youthful German- speaking market offering cruises to some of the most fascinating destinations worldwide. Another example is his work for PSM Nature Power Service GmbH & Co. KG & Management. PSM is one of  the  market leaders in Germany in the service sector involved in windmill farm installations in the field of renewable energy.
