In the challenging times we are living through, Charalambides Christis remains committed to its vision while continuing to place strong emphasis on its social responsibility. As a company owned by Cypriots, it aims, in the context of its social responsibility, to promote messages of hope and optimism for the future of the country. To achieve this goal, CHARALAMBIDES CHRISTIS has put into practice a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility programme, named SYMMETOCHI (participation).
“SYMMETOCHI” was created following research that highlighted society’s growing need to support children during difficult economic conditions. It is a campaign built on volunteering and active contribution, with children at its core and a focus on improving their hygiene, nutrition, education and opportunities for recreation.
The CSR programme of Charalambides Christis also includes financial support for initiatives in primary schools, the provision of free milk to associations of large families and to social grocery stores as well as the daily distribution of chocolate milk to children in need in primary schools and beyond. In terms of environmental responsibility, the company operates an Environmental Management System, is a member and shareholder of Green Dot and takes part in the European Union’s Dairius programme, which includes facilities for both aerobic and anaerobic treatment of liquid waste.
