For many people and organizations, financial contributions are an important, often vital, form of support. In keeping with our commitment to being a good corporate citizen, we also make financial contributions – in 2007 about EUR15 million groupwide – with about 40 percent of donations going to education and science. About 30 percent went to promoting sports. Another EUR1.5 million were given to cultural institutions, smaller environmental projects as well as parties and politics-related foundations. These financial contributions only represent a small part of our financial commitment to the community. They are complemented by a host of social responsibility projects which E.ON supports in cooperation with local authorities and non-governmental organizations.
