Presentation of Study on Corporate Social Responsibility in Albania

As the pioneer of the implementation of best practices in Corporate Social Responsibility, ANTEA Cement, in collaboration with the Albanian non-governmental organization ACIT (Albanian Centre for Competitiveness and International Trade) , partnered to present a study on the status of development of Corporate Social Responsibility in Albania. The presentation was followed by an open discussion and proposals on this topic.

This activity was carried out under the framework of the project “Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility”, implemented by ACIT and supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Albania. As a result of this study, ANTEA Cement was selected as one of the most advanced companies in CSR practices in Albania.

Among other participants, the presentation was attended by ANTEA Cement contractors, who have benefited from the continuous support and assistance of the company, through trainings in order to enable them to obtain relevant ISO standard certifications.

Representatives of public schools from Fushë Mamurras, Thumane and Shpërdhet acknowledged the direct investments that ANTEA Cement has accomplished under its annual CSR action plan, as well as its significant impact in supporting the community.

During the discussions, students, representatives of partner organizations and representatives from the community, talked about their experience in participating in the initiatives of the company.
