Engagement

In its grid area, 50Hertz primarily supports projects that promote a diverse cultural landscape, serve to protect nature or meet social demands. In some cases, partnerships are also promoted in other thematic areas, such as sports.

We enter into long-term sponsoring partnerships in order to achieve the greatest possible benefit and sustainable economic effect for society, the region, its citizens and our company.

Regarding donations, we support concerns about promoting young talent, education, sport, social affairs, culture and the environment in our grid area. It is important to us that the projects supported have a positive influence on the local living environment.

To maintain our independence, we do not support individuals or political parties. Our commitment for sponsoring and donations can only take place within our grid area which includes the German federal states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, as well as the city states of Berlin and Hamburg.
