A.HATZOPOULOS S.A. AWARDED BY PEPSICO FRANCE
On 2nd June 2015 in Paris, our company was awarded by PEPSICO France, in the competition ‘Performance with Purpose’ in recognition of excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
The ‘Performance with Purpose’ contest takes place every two years to evaluate CSR practices, applied by PEPSICO partners, which contribute to addressing social and environmental issues. Among three award categories and nine finalists this year, our company was presented with the prestigious “Jury’s Trophy”.
The committee evaluated our CSR activities, placing particular emphasis on environment-protection action plans and technologies, but also taking into account employee well-being and satisfaction. As far as the latter is concerned, and in spite of admittedly adverse economic and business conditions, special reference was made to the provision of private medical care (including family members of staff), seasonal benefits at Christmas and Easter, financial support at the beginning of every school year and bonuses for students with distinguished performance. Our company won the “Jury’s Trophy” by a unanimous decision.
We had the opportunity to highlight during the competition its basic principles governing our philosophy and culture: meritocracy, know-how, compassion, quality and ethos. Our adherence to the aforementioned principles is indisputable and pervades our corporate philosophy and culture, our everyday activities, as well as our relationship with our partners.
The recognition of our efforts by PEPSICO makes us proud and confirms our strategy. It is our commitment to continue towards this direction!
