ΑΒ as a conscious corporate citizen incorporates always social conceptions in its operation and strategy. Social responsibility is part of the company’s identity and donation for these purposes is considered an investment and not an expense.
In this context, the Board of Directors has established the Social Ethics Code, according to which a special committee, chaired by a partner who used to be an independent member of the BoD, manages a specific line allocated in the Budget to reinforce initiatives concerning health, social welfare and solidarity. In addition, the company has established its contribution to local communities where it is active in supporting such programmes.
Finally, every year AB, free of charge, provides the Greek Food Bank with a significant amount of products.
