Description

In 2010 ELVAL’s employees took the initiative to launch the in-house programme called "Contributing all together for a solidarity based society", which has been implemented so far. This programme is designed to support poor families by raising awareness among the Company’s employees in order to collect food, clothing, games and books. During the last four years 2010 - 2014, despite the difficult economic backdrop, the employees made a considerable contribution. The items collected were handed over to a Church in the local area which distributed them to poor families in the local communities.
