As a sponsor, Mercator has actively contributed to satisfy the needs of its wider social environment. Sponsorship funds have been allocated for the development of sports, culture, education, and environment-protection projects. The cultural, sports, or entertainment meetings or events are pleasant experiences that expand horizons and contribute to a higher quality of life. The successes and recognition attained in the fields of culture, sports, or entertainment, build personality, reputation, and distinction – not only for the sponsors, but also for our small country.

At the beginning of every business year, Mercator adopts the sponsorship and donation plan for the year and the funding is distributed in accordance with it. During the course of each year, Mercator receives over 1,000 applications and offers for co-operation in various sponsorship and donation projects. Unfortunately, we are not always able to lend our support even when we find the proposed projects interesting; Mercator's funds are limited within the framework of the adopted plan.

This year, Mercator has also supported several humanitarian, cultural, sports, and educational projects and activities. As a rule, the following must apply to every project supported in Slovenia:

• the project must be oriented to the entire territory of Slovenia,
• the project must be involved in current, up-to-date issues,
• Mercator must identify with the project's message.

Mercator's vision is oriented toward the satisfaction of the needs of the entire population. Thus, we support social, cultural, sports, and educational activities that increase the quality of life.
