TITAN SUPPORTS REFORESTATION OF FIRE-DEVASTATED AREAS
The TITAN Cement Group has committed itself to assist in the regeneration of the natural environment in the areas of Greece devastated by forest fires. In response to the needs of these areas the Group – working in close collaboration with the Reforestation Directorate of the Ministry for Rural Development and Food, the local authorities and NGOs - has already provided 73,000 saplings for planting.
For TITAN there is nothing new about concern for the environment. For decades now a commitment to environmental protection has formed part of a comprehensive policy of environmental concern – manifested in protective measures introduced long before they were required by legislation. Environmental regeneration activities are evidence of the Group’s philosophy of social responsibility, which focuses – inter alia – on the need to promote sustainable growth.
TITAN continues to maintain its high level of commitment in this area and has already asked the relevant agencies to supply the Group with their plans for environmental regeneration so that the Group can be ready to provide an adequate quantity and variety of saplings for the next planting season.
