In Greece:
It was 36 years ago that CCC moved the
managing offices of the Group to Athens,
Greece. Over the years, the management
and employees have become closely con-
nected to the local communities. In con-
tinuation of the CSR initiatives, the CSR
Committee in Athens has continued to
extend a supporting arm to communi-
ties that have been badly affected by the
prevailing financial crisis in Greece. The
NGOs, charities, and institutions that
have benefitted from these campaigns
included Medecins Du Monde / Doctors
of theWorld; SOS Children’s Village; vari-
ous municipalities; retirement homes;
orphanages; kitchens offering meals
for homeless persons; facilities offer-
ing shelter for refugees and homeless
individuals and families; schools; clinics;
and various other needy causes.
The contributions and sponsorships have
consisted of providing specific necessities,
including – but not limited to – food
stuffs; medicines andmedical equipment;
clothing and blankets; kitchen equip-
ment; blood donation campaigns; PCs
and various materials. Generous contribu-
tions have also been made to the Greek
Association of Women with Breast Cancer.
In Egypt:
CCC Egypt has provided continuous help
to the local communities in Egypt by
donating food packages containing basic
necessities such as rice, sugar, oil, flour,
salt, and dried vegetables to affected
communities – mainly daily laborers

periodically repeated to cater to the needs
of various NGOs, charities, and institu-
tions that fall below the poverty level.
Blood donation campaigns are regularly
organized to support local hospitals.
