Groningen Seaports receives many requests to sponsor different types of events, associations, and good causes. As it is not feasible to sponsor them all, our key starting point is not to sponsor for sponsorship’s sake. It means we make carefully considered choices. Something in return from you is more important to us than the choice of a ‘sponsor option A, B or C’. For example, we really appreciate those who request sponsorship to help with the annual clean-up action in our ports on World Cleanup Day. This provides added value for all concerned.

Groningen Seaports is an organisation that takes its social responsibility seriously, and we want to make a constructive contribution to the Delfzijl/Eemshaven region across the board. We want to contribute to the port and the industrial area, but also to the quality of life of the residents in the local villages. Therefore, we actively contribute with sponsorship to organisations and events in the sphere of culture, sports, and leisure within an area of approximately 10 kilometres from our offices in Delfzijl and Eemshaven.
