As a local employer, we are engaged in many ways in the communities and regions in which we are located. It is our primary goal to promote existing community involvement and to initiate projects that contribute to a better understanding of the society.

Strengthening social and voluntary commitment

That is the motto of the Zolling power plant’s citizens’ fund. Since 2013, our Bavarian power plant site has issued an annual call for proposals for the financial support of civil society projects in the region. The aim of the fund is to stimulate local activities and explicitly support projects that could not otherwise be realised without the power plant’s donation. The focus lies on projects supporting children and young people, sports, culture and the environment.

We wish all project sponsors every success in realising their projects.

Social, cultural and educational projects in the north of Bremen

At our location in the north of Bremen, we support various activities of the Blumenthal community foundation (Bürgerstiftung Blumenthal). The foundation is committed to promoting social, cultural and educational projects in the Blumenthal district. Most recently, with the support of Onyx Power and other local stakeholders, the foundation organised a two-day open-air concert with numerous local artists on the site of the former Bremen wool combing plant, which is now a cultural quarter.
