Apart from the company-facilitated sports activities which have been held for decades, we have also been involved in mass sporting events for a long time. We follow the principle of sponsoring a number of projects in selected clubs, which are limited but long-term and well thought-out. We therefore give them, for instance, a financial basis for several years which enables them to plan and organise events better. We give special attention to projects from and for youngsters, above all those in the south of Hamburg, in the immediate vicinity of the Aurubis works premises.
Since 2003 the Group supports the ladies volleyball team of TV Fischbek and has even become their main sponsor since 2006. The successful German league team has been called NA.Hamburg since 2007/08. Since Norddeutsche Affinerie AG was renamed as Aurubis, the team has been playing under the name VT Aurubis Hamburg.
The handball teams of SG Wilhelmsburg have also been supported by Aurubis as their main sponsor since 1999. The emphasis here is especially on the youth work in the club.
Further information on the teams and the dates of their games can be found at:
www.vt-aurubis-hamburg.de and www.sgwilhelmsburg.de.
In Lunen the football clubs BV Lünen 05 and Lüner SV have been sponsored for several years now.

Our commitment was rewarded by the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce in 2008, when Aurubis, at the time still Norddeutsche Affinerie AG, won the SportMerkur 2007 for its particular commitment to sport promotion.
