Sponsoring
A separate guideline was issued to regulate the Group-wide management of sponsoring in order to minimise potential compliance risks. The formal requirement is the conclusion of a sponsoring contract and the sponsoring – whereby we understand this as the granting of monetary or non-cash benefits by EVN to support persons, groups or organisations – must be related to the defined (return) performance. We only permit sponsoring for legal entities which are headquartered in Austria or for persons from sports or culture with connections to Lower Austria or to a region in which EVN or a subsidiary is active. Sponsoring of political parties, campaigning parties and their closely related organisations or parliamentary clubs is prohibited.
