Support for charitable purposes
Sponsoring and gifts to charity are two different matters from a business perspective. Sponsoring has an obvious link to the company, and is expected to give something in return. Gifts to charities, regardless of whether they are products or money, are free of any obligation to give something in return. Gifts for charitable purposes can also be termed goodwill.
We must always strive to act in accordance with the values we represent. Regardless of the activity, we must never be involved in projects that could be considered unethical, immoral, environmentally hazardous, or dangerous in any way. And similarly, we must never be involved in projects which have a political or religious link.
