Path: ANECT Fund/Company Philanthropy Concept
Company Philanthropy Concept
Company philanthropy (socially responsible donation) as we perceive it is first and foremost unselfish help - providing financial / material support and offering your time and skills without expecting any personal profit.
The ANECT Company Philanthropy Strategy is based on principles of „venture philanthropy", which means that its key features are: donation as investment, effectiveness and strategic approach. In other words, it is a type of socially engaged donation with clearly defined rules. We definitely prefer long-term cooperation on particular projects. We always monitor the project implementation, and - if possible - also try to participate in it and help to build a healthy civil society.
ANECT Company Philanthropy CODEX:
This codex is not a mandatory legal act. Nonetheless, it is a list of the most important principles that responsible donors should follow.
- ANECT´s support of socially beneficial activities shall be systematic, transparent, proactive and long-term. No compensation should be expected. The amount of monetary and non-monetary support shall be always specified in the Deed of Gift, written in compliance with the section 628 of the Civil Code and its later amendments. ANECT a.s. supports various kinds of company philanthropy, including voluntary activities of its employees.
