The CIS Group aims to play an active role in societal development and support causes of general interest. This policy is intended to:
• Contribute to projects with a significant social or environmental impact.
• Strengthen the CIS Group’s reputation and image as a responsible actor.
• Build partnerships with non-profit organisations or other stakeholders with the same values.
The CIS Group focuses its donation, patronage, and sponsorship efforts in the following areas:
• Education and Training: Supporting initiatives that promote access to education, vocational training, and youth employment.
• Environment: Backing projects focused on environmental protection, natural resource preservation, and combating climate change.
• Culture, Heritage, and Sport: Contributing to preserving and promoting culture, the arts, and local heritage and supporting certain sporting events.
• Solidarity and Inclusion: Supporting programmes aimed at reducing inequalities and helping those in situations of poverty or social exclusion.
The CIS Group can intervene in various ways, including financial donations by contributing directly to associations, foundations, or projects of general interest. It can also provide in-kind patronage support through donations of goods or services. Sponsorship is another option, allowing the CIS Group to support events or initiatives in exchange for visibility. Finally, the CIS Group can offer skill-based patronage by leveraging the expertise of its employees to assist specific associations or projects.
The Top Management approves the projects or organisations supported and shall:
• Align with the CIS Group’s values.
• Have a measurable and tangible impact.
• Provide assurances of transparency, good governance, and the absence of conflicts of interest.
To this end, a mandatory due diligence process is conducted to ensure that the supported projects and organisations comply with the CIS Group’s ethics and anti-corruption programme, and no third-party interference will be accepted.
Regular monitoring is conducted for each supported project to assess its impact, commitment compliance, and associated costs.
The CIS Group excludes any projects aimed at promoting a political party or religion, any organisations that do not adhere to its ethical and environmental principles and any individual initiatives that do not fall within a collective framework of public interest. However, humanitarian, social, or educational projects led by organisations with a religious affiliation will be eligible, provided they comply with the principles of this policy.
The CIS Group ensures that its patronage and sponsorship activities are communicated through its various channels (website, social media, annual report). This communication is carried out transparently, highlighting the social or environmental impact of the supported projects.
