We are also fully committed to supporting the things that make our society worth living in. That's why social commitment is a matter of course for a global company such as ours. For us, that also includes promoting social welfare, art, culture, education, science and technology, since in our work we experience daily the importance and enriching power of exchange across cultural divides and national boundaries. Culture Social welfare Education Science and technology As part of that, we feel a special bond with the regions in which our company is economically active – and we see ourselves as a neighbor who helps out when needed. That's why we support local non-profit organizations and social institutions through donations and campaigns, as well as musical events, exhibitions by artists or international conferences. Kassel Culture TentArt and culture supported by Wintershall Kassel Culture Tent Wintershall has been there from the outset We believe promoting arts and culture is an expression of social commitment and of actively contributing to quality of life. We support culture in our home city of Kassel – for example, we've sponsored the Culture Tent for more than 20 years. The popular music festival with its special atmosphere is being held for the 30th time this year. In this anniversary year, the Culture Tent will be offering an exciting program from July 8 to August 21. The musical range from jazz to pop and rock promises a host of high-class and appealing acts. Wintershall has supported this festival – one of the region's annual event highlights – for more than 20 years. In addition to the opening concert, the company also always presents a series of special concert highlights and is a partner to the Culture Tent team. International promotion of culture As an international company, we not only want to foster cultural dialog in Germany, but also worldwide in our focus regions. For example, Wintershall has sponsored Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, one of Scandinavia's most successful, since January 2015.

A circus project gets children off the street From the streets to the big top – that is what the Saint Petersburg project Upsala Circus offers children from difficult social backgrounds, some of whom live on the street. Its goal is to integrate children and youngsters back into society by means of circus pedagogy and offer them a new perspective by giving them a roof over their head and allowing them to attend school regularly. So that this goal can be achieved, the project is also supported by Wintershall. And, of course, we're especially delighted when the circus stops off in Kassel as part of its European tour. Traditional Christmas donation We also help fund numerous projects every year with our traditional Christmas donation. Instead of giving Christmas presents to customers and business partners we make donations to charitable and humanitarian institutions in regions where we operate. We supported relief projects in Kassel, Barnstorf, Russia and Libya with a total of 50,000 euros just in 2015.

EDUCATION INSPIRES RESEARCH FOR YOUNGSTERS Wintershall helps up-and-coming scientists within the STEM area (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and supports the STEM-pupils congress at the School Students’ Research Center in North Hesse. The congress offers pupils and teachers a variety of workshops, presentations, exhibitions and the science slam. Science for the very young We're also active in the "Knowledge Factory" network and assume educational sponsorships for primary schools. We give the schools experiment kits and teacher's guides – trained employees from the company help the teachers personally in testing and preparing experiments. Fostering science and technologyWe support young scientists and their spirit of discovery. Active worldwide in science From molecular biology experiments for schoolchildren to international conferences Fostering science and technology is something that's very dear to our heart – for young pupils Wintershall supports the education project “Science Bridge”. "Science Bridge" is a mobile and open lab for pupils, students and teachers at the University of Kassel that provides current methods and matters regarding molecular biology to schools and makes it accessible to anyone interested. International conferences We are also committed to helping students and support the SPE Student Chapter of the Technical University of Clausthal or people studying at RWTH Aachen University. We also support numerous international conferences and networks worldwide in the subject areas of oil and gas – including the European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE), the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG) and the research cooperation with the Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi An overview of our commitment 2015 Culture Tent 2015 - Association for Promoting Cultural and Communication Projects - Kassel Musical partnership - Stavanger Symphony Orchestra - Stavanger Art Couch - Kassel Museum Association - Kassel Landau State Garden Show - Landesgartenschau Landau 2015 gem.
