Scott Pozil, Senior Commercial Officer at the US Embassy, Bulgaria, conferred the award to Postbank. Upon receiving the award, Emiliya Milanova, Chair of the Board of Directors stated "We are particularly happy to have been distinguished as a "Biggest Time Donor" for 2008. This is recognition and a reward for our employees, who participated in many initiatives, donating their free time and efforts. I would like to thank them and to wish them to participate in many new charitable initiatives in the forthcoming year. At Postbank we believe that businesses should contribute to society. That is why we will continue to encourage our employees to stand as an example of corporate social responsibility".
In September, Postbank received the "Ethical and responsible conduct towards stakeholders" award in the competition for Socially Responsible Company of the Year, organized by "Pari" Daily with the cooperation of Deloitte Bulgaria.
