Hello people,
ResponderEliminarAs I told you before, I choose Johnson & Johnson. I read about it and this company supports some institutions like theaters and cultural centers in New Brunswick. Also, J&J is part of the committee which created the National Initiative for Arts and Health in the Military. Another action that the company to support art is being part of institutions for veterans' health.
It's important to know that the employees of J&J are involved in this support to art being engaged with the program Corporate Art Program.
Besides the company is supporting art, the bennefits that it has is to be part of the Best Ten Business Supporting Arts in America. Also, I think that other benefits are to be recognized as a company which is engaged with the art of their country. As well as, to be recognized for art lovers as a place where they would like to work.
In my opinion, as J&J does it's important for an organization to support art because it is not only profits and operations. It's important to support other issues and topics that involve people outside of the company.

I think arts is important because it express the culture of societies. Throug arts people could know more about their roots and if people know more about their history they will love where they lives. Nowadays is important to have people who loves their countries because in that way they will care more of it.
For companies is important to invest on arts becuase in that way they will give to society an oportunity to grows and get together. By investing on artes companies also will have employees and costumers proud of them. It will increase sales.
