COMPLIANCE AND INTEGRITY
Supporting sports
As one of the biggest supporters of sports in the region, we support professional, youth and para-sport through sponsorship and education.
If a single one can succeed, it is worth supporting them all
This guiding principle leads us to be a proud donor to sport at many levels and in different categories.
Professional sport
We support the best athletes in football, handball, skiing, table tennis, ski jumping, cross-country skiing, biathlon and volleyball at the national level.
Youth sport
As part of the NLB Youth Sports project we support more than 10,000 children every year.
Para sport
We support in particular the NLB Wheel League (wheelchair basketball) at the regional level and sitting volleyball (para volleyball).
Investing in the future of our home field
Youth clubs are raising new generations of champions and healthy recreational athletes. We support them in the scope of the NLB Youth Sport project and every year we accompany 10,000 young people to sports fields.
Top athletes’ successes inspire and bring us closer together
The effort, sacrifice, success and triumph of athletes, as well as in the dignity with which they accept defeat, are a source of inspiration that can often be transposed to the business environment. We support Slovenian sports through a wide range of sponsorships at the national level.
NLB and Para sport
We support in particular the NLB Wheel League (wheelchair basketball) at the regional level and sitting volleyball (para volleyball). Every year, we give two sports wheelchairs for Para basketball athletes as part of the NLB Wheel project.
We also support Special Olympics, where the main motto is:
Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.
NLB Sports Academy
In addition to donations, we also support sport by passing on knowledge. Within the NLB Sports Academy, we cooperate with partners to train sports clubs pursuing the disciplines we support. Through the Academy, we address the knowledge gap in club management, sponsor fund-raising, member recruitment and volunteer attraction.
We pay special attention to three UN Sustainable Development Goals
Good health and well-being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Gender equality and reducing inequalities
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, and reduce inequality within and among countries.
