In addition to the above-mentioned donation amounts, RBI supports numerous projects and activities through
sponsorship as part of its social and cultural commitment.
To meet our social responsibility, RBI decided years ago not to restrict itself to only a few major aid projects but
instead to place factors such as personal commitment and regional societal challenges at the forefront of our
decisions. RBI and its employees are involved in a wide range of projects and initiatives by providing financial
support or by fostering contacts.
In the context of the principle of “Help others to help themselves” RBI, often in cooperation with various NGOs,
provides support in the field of education, arts and culture, sport, as well as charitable initiatives and environmental
activities.
