On Thursday, December 12, we delivered gifts from the Wishing Tree to the St. Klement Hofbauer Children's Home in Podolínec and to the Center for Children and Families in Košice - Uralská.
Main fields of support:
HEALTH CARE
projects aimed at improving health-care equipment and services provided by facilities in and around Košice. Thousands of our employees have actively supported these projects in the voluntary Christmas Fund-Raising.
EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS
we cooperate with technical secondary schools and universities. The aim of the Scholarship Program is to support talented students at colleges and universities, and we also have the Summer Internship Program for them.
SPORT
we support pre-teen and junior sections of sports clubs, and the Your Chance to Play project supports children who are gifted at sports, especially future ice-hockey and basketball talents from socially-disadvantaged families, as well as children from steelmaker families. We have also been a long term partner of the champion ice-hockey team HC Košice as well as the Košice Peace Marathon, the oldest marathon in Europe.
CULTURE
we are a partner of Košice State Theatre as well as the Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra Košice, and we also support other local, national or international cultural events organized in Eastern Slovakia. The Steel Park, a creative and entertainment center for children, is our contribution to the Košice – European Capital of Culture 2013 project.
CHARITY
we support children in foster homes, as well as mentally and physically disabled people. We direct our help through several projects: Wishing Trees, Christmas Charity Hut or We Are with You at the Right Time.
ROMA COMMUNITY
our long-term Equal Opportunities project in cooperation with local governments offered a solution to the Roma issue in the field of education and employment. Today, this activity is followed up by the social enterprise GOMBIDA.
CO-OPERATION
WITH NEARBY VILLAGES we support community projects focused on safety, environmental improvement, and activities for children through our Together for the Region program. We also provide by-product gravel for public benefit purposes.
You can find more information about supported activities in recent years in our Corporate Social Responsibility Reports or Annual Reports.
