TITAN PRESENTED WITH SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AWARD
The ‘Award for Social Responsibility’ has been conferred on TITAN Cement S.A. by the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The award was accepted on behalf of the Group by Mr. Nellos Canellopoulos, External Relations Director and member of the Board of Directors. It was presented by the Minister for Economy and Finance, Mr. Giorgos Alogoskoufis, at a ceremony held on 22 June, 2004.
These awards are bestowed on businesses in recognition of their past achievements, but also serve as an incentive to persevere in their activities and help to stimulate a sense of competition and creativity. In making their decision on which business should receive an award, the panel of judges examine all the social activities of the company and the benefits it offers to the outside community, evaluating the duration and range of these benefits and the level of company spending involved.
In the case of the Titan Group, Corporate Social Responsibility is a deliberate policy, reflecting a commitment to human values, to the community and the environment, which has characterized the firm for more than a hundred years.
