Contributing to the future well-being of society is one of Bosch's main priorities. With this in mind, we support a wide range of innovation and education projects in Germany and worldwide. With its sense of responsibility for society, the Bosch Group also provides help where needed with donations and sponsoring. The Robert Bosch Stiftung is devoted solely to public welfare and funds its development programs with the share of the annual dividend it receives from Robert Bosch GmbH.
Starting the “Knowledge Factory”
Bosch joined with other German companies to form the “Knowledge Factory” in 2005, under the motto “Passion for the Future.” It aims to give children and young people access to engineering and economic topics from an early age in order to inspire them to take an interest in these disciplines. We work closely with kindergartens and schools to organize projects that also promote language, an understanding of science and mathematics, and social behavior among children. Over the medium term, we want to enter into 50 educational partnerships with schools and childcare institutions. Another focus of our activities in the Knowledge Factory is to provide a mentoring program to support entrepreneurs. In this program, we help start-ups put their good ideas into practice by making our management expertise available to them.
Supporting young researchers
If we are to have innovative engineers tomorrow, today's young people have to be inspired to take up research. Bosch is therefore one of the sponsors of the German talent competition for young research-ers, the largest of its kind in Europe. It gives schoolchildren and apprentices an early opportunity to put their creative ideas into effect in real projects. At the start of 2006, we organized the regional competition in Baden-Württemberg (Germany) – for which around 1 000 young people had qualified – for the twenty-first time.
Helping children with “Primavera”
In the “Primavera” society, present and past Bosch associates voluntarily help children and young people. Founded by ten associates in 1990, “Primavera” now has over 100 volunteers and has raised more and more in donations every year: so far, two million euros have been raised in different countries. Their activities focus primarily on projects at our Brazilian and Indian locations.

| Principles of Social Responsibility |
 |
| At the start of 2004, the Board
of Management of Robert Bosch GmbH and the associate repre-
sentatives signed a set of joint principles of social responsibility. The ten principles, which are based on the core labor standards of the International Labor Organization (ILO), address issues including human rights, equality of opportunity, the rights of children, and fair employment conditions. |
