Sponsoring
We are committed to creating a healthy working environment based on cooperation and equal opportunities, and we believe that sport is life training that promotes team spirit and strengthens determination, responsibility and balance.
For us, "fair play" is just as important as a sustainable approach to nature and the environment. We also pay attention to people and/or associations that we support. In our sports sponsorship, we are committed to partnership projects in various sports, hoping that this start-up support will give athletes the drive and vision needed to develop their talents and make their dreams come true.
Academy
Our "Corporate Academy" consists of a large number of specialist seminars and training courses on various topics relating to our portfolio companies. These annual training modules are organized in coordination with the responsible managers of the respective portfolio companies. These seminars have more to do with education than with training, more with personality than with technical issues.
The goal of this academy is to promote the personality of the executives of our portfolio companies in a holistic way. This philosophy is based on the conviction that good managers are not only convincing through technical skills, which they can then develop further within their company, but that far-sighted and responsibly acting personalities are characterized by:
​
1. emotional intelligence and social competence,
2. mental fitness and empathy,
3. mental strength and diversity of interests
​
These qualities enrich not only the individual, but also his field of action and his immediate environment.
