Sponsoring

Taking responsibility on a global level

At Sika we regard our sponsorship commitments as a long-term collaboration in the form of partnerships, from which both sides benefit and to which both sides contribute. With our sponsoring activities, we want to make a useful contribution to the society and the environment in which we live. Therefore Sika sponsoring on a global level is limited to social, educational and environmental issues.

Romuald Burkard Foundation
