We believe that there is no strong business without a strong community. Our corporate policy is to contribute five percent of our profits to non-profit community oriented organizations, and to participate directly where possible.

We have been fortunate to work with the "Society for Everyone" fund, whose mission is to support projects oriented at helping the handicapped, elderly, homeless, and other deprived groups of citizens in Western Ukraine. This year, the fund is focusing on two projects:

• Construction of the Regional Centre of social rehabilitation and support, which will include: a gymnasium, a training gym, a sauna, computer equipped classrooms, and a free dinning room.
  
• Organization of summer vocation camps for disabled persons.

It is an honour for us to make our contribution to the projects that are led by Mr. Alexander Suhan, the President of Charity Fund of Help and Rehabilitation for Disabled People, "Society for Everyone".

Mr. Alexander Suhan, born in 1964, disabled since 1983, is recipient of Ukranian national honours, "Honourable Distinction by the President of Ukraine" (1995), "For Service, II level" (2001), and "For Work and Victory" (2002), awarded by the president Kuchma, and is a recipient of Russian national honours "For Personal Bravery" (1992), and "For Bravery" (1994) awarded by president Yelsin. Mr. Alexander Suhan set a Guiness World Record in 1992 by his participation in a marathon of 12,000 km from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg in a wheel chair. He has participated in and won numerous national and international sport competitions and organized numerous events for the disabled.

His remarkable leadership and authority ensure the management of resources of this fund, and his personal heroism is an example for others to follow.
