DPC sponsors cultural, educational and innovative projects

DPC supports social and cultural projects that foster transformation in local communities

Project support by means of the Culture Incentive Act plays a fundamental role in enriching the culture of local communities. As a firm believer in this statement, DPC has been sponsoring efforts of this nature over the past few years.

In line with the core principles of DPC Transforma, its social and environmental responsibility program, the company has fostered activities that have an impact on local communities, especially within its field of operations. Additionally, as a way of spreading positive effects, DPC also assists clients who are interested in supporting those efforts.

These sponsorship networks help create jobs in sectors such as music, theater, cinema, visual arts, literature and many others, contributing to the development of the local economy, while allowing these activities to reach an audience that would not be able to enjoy them otherwise.

Throughout 2023, by means of the Culture Incentive Act, DPC has supported projects that promote access to culture, education and innovation. Find out more about the efforts sponsored in this annual campaign:
