Company/SME
Would you like your business to get involved effectively for the common good and make a positive social impact?
There are more and more companies and SMEs getting involved with social projects related to their business, their corporate objectives or the commitment of their employees. As well as the contribution it makes to one or more good causes, corporate philanthropy is an effective means of promoting a company’s values and image, while also benefitting from tax advantages.
Making a financial donation, patronage in kind or skills: corporate philanthropy can take various forms. Whether you wish to act locally, in Europe and/or internationally, our Philanthropy Centre can develop a made-to-measure solution together with you, which is adapted to meet your objectives. We are happy to put our many years of experience, our expertise, and our extensive network at your disposal.
