Dolomiti Energia Sponsorships: criteria and application process

Sponsorships are one of the tools we use to build relationships and support organisations and initiatives that can generate mutual value. They are also a way to work together to tell stories that align with our identity, our strategy and our role within communities.

 

OUR SPONSORSHIP MODEL

We assess sponsorship applications through clear criteria, transparent processes and structured agreements designed to generate tangible communication, marketing and visibility benefits, in compliance with our identity and corporate strategy.

 

In our view of business, Sponsorships are an opportunity to create synergies and support those who share our values, vision and community focus, while at the same time generating a brand image return and strengthening our brand.

 

Sponsorship contracts may be entered into with private or public entities and with non-profit associations, in order to carry out actions, services, activities or initiatives that can deliver tangible and measurable results for the sponsor.

 

SPONSORSHIP SCOPE

- cultural initiatives of various types and formats

- events of local, corporate or sectoral relevance

- sports initiatives, both amateur and professional, including competitions, events and projects dedicated to promoting sports activity

- corporate information and communication activities

- initiatives for the enhancement and protection of resources, with particular attention to environmental sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters

- training and educational activities

 

We also assess other initiatives of public or strategic interest which, although not falling within the listed areas, present a clear potential for reputational value and proven alignment with the communication and/or commercial strategy of the companies within our corporate perimeter.

HOW WE ASSESS APPLICATIONS

Our Sponsorship Committee, the body responsible for ensuring consistency, integrity, transparency and alignment with the corporate strategy, examines sponsorship applications.

 

The criteria that the Committee takes into consideration in the assessment process include:

• the strategic and communication alignment of the initiative

• the expected brand/image and/or commercial return

• the economic appropriateness of the commitment requested

• the reputational, legal and compliance risk profiles

• the absence of conflicts of interest

 

EXCLUSION SCOPE

If, at the end of the process, the application is rejected, the reasons may include:

• inconsistency with the requirements provided for by the corporate procedure

• potential prejudice or damage to the image of Dolomiti Energia

• direct or indirect links to political activities or purposes

• content that is offensive, intolerant or in conflict with the Code of Conduct

• direct competition situations

• absence of adequate advance notice in submitting the application

Parties that have legal disputes or insolvencies in respect of Dolomiti Energia or other companies within the corporate perimeter are also automatically excluded. It is also not possible to sponsor events that have already ended.

 

DURATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP

Sponsorship contracts may not have a term exceeding three years. Subject to approval, the contracts may be renewed, in compliance with the prescribed limits.

 

Sponsorship arrangements are subject to periodic checks. The sponsored party is required to provide evidence of the actual implementation of the initiative and of the agreed visibility, including through the submission of a final report.
