Corporate Social

Responsibility(CSR)

“What is good for the community is good for the company.

What is good for the company, we will strive to do excellently

and in a way that enriches the lives of our people”

The objective of each member company will be to resolve one or more of the problems, which now hamper the social and economic development of the community.

They will demonstrate that private companies with social spirit, can, in some areas, contribute more effectively than government institutions. In solving these problems they can also be profitable and finance their own growth."
