Companies should provide sport and social facilities for local communities. To what extend do you agree?

It is argued that

companies

should provide sports and social facilities in their local communities.

However

, I partially disagree with

this

, and I will substantiate my reasoning in the course of

this

essay.

First

and foremost, the ownership of providing the facilities to a

community

solely rests with the government. That being said,

companies

can sponsor

events

and social gatherings as a way of promoting themselves in the

community

.

For example

, in Trivandrum, many corporate

companies

sponsor cricket and football tournaments, whilst during the festive period in December, many play host to different parties, for which they help to promote local musicians, in a sort of win-win situation for everyone involved.

Furthermore

, there is an argument to be made against

this

which is that, hosting or promoting

events

does not necessarily create a lasting impression on both participants and viewers alike, or even help promote a company amongst the locals.

Instead

, it is a

companiy's

company's

portfolio is that attracts people to the services that they provide. An example of

this

would be, for the company Allianz, which is a global insurance provider, which provides insurances for some immense structures

such

as the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, the Allianz stadium which is home to Bayern Munich Football Club.

Although

its value speaks for itself, there are fewer people in Trivandrum, who purchase its insurance policies, as compared to alternate local insurance

companies

. In conclusion, I feel that it is important for

companies

to sponsor

events

, both sports and social

events

, and not facilities as a way to establish themselves in the

community

.

Furthermore

, it must be done to help the

community

come together, rather than plant themselves in the minds of the citizens.
