When companies decide to support cultural, social, sporting, philanthropic and other activities, the use of incentive laws is an institutionalized and transparent option.
Fundação Siemens is responsible for the governance of projects linked to incentive laws carried out by its supporting companies (Siemens Group companies and Siemens Energy Brazil). In alignment with the entity’s social objectives, these projects become part of the Foundation’s scope on account of their nature.
Fundação Siemens’ support toward cultural and social incentives is a consolidated practice.
Check out the projects approved by Fundação Siemens in 2023:
