Project description

Project Aim

Good Example campaigns aim to support local communities. A large part of them are held in partnership with NGO organizations. Social issues that the campaigns deal with are poverty among local communities, as well as the need for medical equipment in children's hospitals. Among the initiatives in which the company's employees are involved are: donating books to children's libraries in hospitals, donating food products for the elderly, donating clothes and school supplies for children in need. In addition, Edenred Bulgaria organizes a charity run for Edenred RUN companies every year. The funds collected from the run for the second year in a row go to support a children's hospital in the country and purchase of vital equipment.

Project Target Group

The "Good for Example" project targets local communities in need. It benefits children's hospitals and their patients, elderly people and children in need. The project is implemented by the company's employees and is aimed at supporting communities in need outside the company. We reach the target group by cooperating with NGOs. Supporting the organization Be good-Do good! we helped poor families from the Northwest, and together with 5KM RUN - we supported the Pediatrics of "St. Marina", Varna.

Project Duration

Improving the quality of life of local communities is an open-ended goal and is one of the three main areas of the company's social responsibility policy. The other two directions are Environmental Protection and Responsible Value Creation through the company's products and services. Among the projects we have supported in past years are: purchase of instruments for children's surgery in Pirogov, renovation of a children's playground, donation of books for children's libraries in hospitals, etc

Project Activities

For 3rd year,we organize a charity run in June for employees,customers and partners,in which 30 companies and over 300 people participated.The event collected BGN 10,524, which supplemented the amount from the charity campaign of 5 KM RUN,and with the total sum of BGN 21,427.30,infusion pumps were purchased for the Pediatrics of "St. Marina", city of Varna. We supported two campaigns of the organization "Be good! Do good!", led by Maya Metodieva.For Easter,we supported the initiative "Give a festive meal to elderly people from the Northwest" and filled an entire car with food items. The group has been helping around 2,000 pensioners in the region since 2014.The second campaign was for the first day of school, when we collected clothes, shoes and school supplies for needy children. About 40 Edenred employees participated in both campaigns with donations. We bought Martenitsi from "Dechitsa" Foundation. 9 employees participated in the "Legion Run" with a donation ticket to the Cedar Foundation. For Christmas, the company decided to donate the amount intended for Christmas gifts to its customers in support of Bulgarian beekeeping by adopting 3 beehives from the "Real Honey" platfo

Project Results

We purchased infusion pumps for Pediatrics at the University Hospital "St. Marina", Varna, which refines the speed and dosing of intravenous infusions. The risk of inaccurate dosing when infused with these devices is minimized and thus facilitates the proper and safe treatment of children up to 18 years of age. Donated food, clothes and school supplies smiled many poor families in the Northwest, as evidenced by the many photos on the organization's social network. With the adopted hives from the platform "Real Honey", we supported the activities of the Bulgarian beekeepers, thus they manage to realize their production more easily. By purchasing martenitsas, we supported the activities of the Dechitsa Foundation, which help integrate children deprived of parental care.
