Sponsorship at item
Commitment is important to us!
As a globally active company, item supports numerous local initiatives, including humanitarian, cultural and charitable projects. We focus on initiatives for young people and talented young individuals. Working with our branches and partners, we seek out opportunities for constructive collaboration with organisations who are committed to social responsibility in their local areas.
Sponsorship from item enables schools to fund specific projects and also gives young artists the chance to demonstrate their talent. As we see it, however, social responsibility also means training young people and integrating them into working life. That being the case, item invests in staff training and provides specialist training worldwide.
The overview below provides a snapshot of our social commitment.

Support for youth sport
The Solingen Alligators baseball team won the German Championships in 2006 and 2014. The club considers youth development work to be very important. Like many minority sports, baseball finds it difficult to cover running costs and struggles to keep costs down, in particular for young players. Sponsors such as item help diversify the range of sporting opportunities.
