Those who have been following us longer than today know that we are big fans of soccer. The game is ultimately won by the team that can anticipate best. That has nothing to do with goal balance. That game fascinates us and that is why we sponsor PEC Zwolle. What else is behind this and why we now also sponsor PEC United? We explain it briefly.

TeamValue and soccer

Because of our Ohana - which means family - we want to leave something for our children. That's why we sponsor PEC Zwolle, an organization that strives for a healthy future for our children. Because PEC, like us, believes in the power of future generations. Why PEC?

We love soccer. It's that simple. We also love Zwolle, the city where we have our home base. But it goes deeper than that. Soccer says a lot about how we look at organizations. Everyone has his/her specialty within a team. During "the league," there are moments of success and moments of adversity. Adapting to changing circumstances is the strength of the team. This requires mutual trust, understanding of the game and thinking under high pressure.

Sport connects. We regularly take business contacts to a match as a token of appreciation and to enjoy a great evening. Last time Lifetri, Air Miles and Telindus were there..

In the office, there's no getting away from it. We have visualized our core values, proposition and service in a soccer field. We think fitness in your work and private life is important and that is also the reason we are playing internal quarterly games based on this theme this year. Fit21! Colleague Franka told us about it earlier. Get rid of the silly strategy! Get started with Rockefeller Habits.  

Expansion of sponsorship PEC Zwolle United  

PEC Zwolle United is more than soccer. In the Netherlands, some 280,000 children never go on vacation. Whereas children from the neighborhood, classmates and friends enjoy days out or a nice vacation in the summer, for a large group of children the vacation is not a nice break from school.  

From our social commitment, we believe we should do our part to ensure vitality for our next generation. PEC interviewed us about it.

The growth of CSR partnerships resulted in 2014 in the establishment of the Regio Zwolle United foundation. A foundation with ANBI status, inextricably linked to PEC Zwolle. The foundation was created to use sports as an independent catalyst for the development of the Zwolle Region. They take the initiative to realize valuable economic and social projects together with others and actively work on talent development. Region Zwolle United focuses on three areas: society, economy and vitality.
