The Olympic spirit embodies values and behavior which are also central to the way we conduct our business. In its corporate policy E.ON aspires to values such as responsibility, integrity, openness, trust as well as mutual respect or courage. These are behaviors which are part and parcel of the Olympic spirit in many different ways.

Sponsorship as part of our Olympic partnership offers athletes a financial basis in preparing for the Games. They are then able to apply their exceptional talent to achieve peak performance and win medals for the Olympic teams of Germany, Hungary and Slovakia at the Olympic Games in Beijing.

The purpose of E.ON's involvement is to support the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of Germany, Hungary and Slovakia and therefore to sponsor the German, Hungarian and Slovak Olympic teams. The decision to become an Olympic partner rounds of our extensive sports sponsorship concept.
