Business conduct
Donations and sponsoring
We donate without self-interest.
Bosch contributes to civic society by making considered donations to support causes like climate action, sustainability, digital education for disadvantaged children and young people, the promotion of democracy and tolerance, as well as social concerns.
By contrast, sponsorship measures are part of our overall communications strategy. They are intended to support the achievement of company-relevant goals, such as product sales, reputation building, or the recruitment of qualified associates.
Our objective is to make a clear distinction between our donations and sponsorship activities. We refrain from promising or granting a donation or sponsorship to unduly influence public officials, business partners, or other third parties. In addition, we do not obtain an undue favor or advantage in return of a donation or sponsorship. We also reject respective offers to do so.
