Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is when words match actions. The main thing is that the person working in this area is an excellent organizer and knows how to bring people together. In this regard, the hypermarket AUCHAN is very lucky - they have Irina Kazanskaya, who implements very interesting, and most importantly, useful ideas.
So 7 In April, on World Health Day, Irina invited the store's employees to visit Roles #Superheroes and become #Life_Donors for those in need of a blood transfusion. The idea was approved by the staff, and a special room was set up and a mobile team of specialists from the transfusion department of the regional children's clinical hospital was invited, led by the head of the department Irina Pechkurova Irina Alekseyevna. On this day, blood was donated by 22 employees.
The store management also donated blood for three departments: oncohematology (Natasha Well done), transfusiology (Irina Pechkurova) and pediatrics (Natalia Pokatilova) ODKB washing powders.
Our cooperation with Auchan Fontanka has been going on for three years. In 2019 we received a grant from the "Auchan Foundation " of 11351 euros for publishing a book of recipes by children who have beaten cancer. Since then a great many different projects have been carried out: help for children with cancer, help for veterans and elderly people living alone in Odesa, and help with protective equipment during Covid19.
In January 2022 we submitted our second socially significant project to participate in the CSR project selection competition of "Auchan Ukraine". Their 20 charitable organizations, who, like us, wanted to receive financial support from the Foundation Auchan for their projects, selected the 10 best. And we were among the top ten. The project was essential for children's social adaptation, contributed to the development of social and everyday skills, and taught healthy eating and cooking. We planned to implement the project at an Odessa boarding school. №34 "Child with a Future" for children with special educational needs (autistic children, children with Down syndrome, developmental delays - more 100 children).
22 The project defense was broadcast live on February 1. Thank you Elena Ionova for helping us create a wonderful story. Everyone was waiting for the results of the competition 25 date.
But, 24 in February, life and all plans were turned upside down... A new story came to our country. War...
The company "Auchan Ukraine " warned all competition participants that in addition to its primary goal of providing people with access to food, it has added a mission: helping everyone who brings Ukraine's victory closer and supporting everyone who finds themselves in difficult circumstances. Thus, Auchan's partner store Fontanka actively supports the Ukrainian Armed Forces with necessary equipment and tools, and meets all the army's needs. During the war, they prepared more than 1000 full meals for the military.
We truly believe that peace will soon come to our country!!! And Auchan will definitely return to the competition results after the Victory!
