OREANDA-NEWS. On 08 June 2009 was announced, that Centravis had opened an up-to-date children’s playground in the downtown of Nikopol. This is the fifth project realized since the beginning of the year within the corporate and social responsibility program of the international holding.

Sergey Starun, mayor of Nikopol: “Centravis is one of the city-forming companies. What is more, Centravis not only provides new work places for Nikopol inhabitants but also consistently realizes a large-scale charity program. In 2009 many companies are mainly concerned about the way of their survival. Against this background the example of Centravis really inspires. Nikopol needs dozens of children’s playgrounds. And I hope that holding’s initiative will be the great example of social responsibility for other companies operating in the city”.

Yuriy Atanasov, CEO of International Holding Centravis: “Today’s charity campaign is a good example of prolongation of our corporate and social responsibility program. This year, having kept its scales, it became more targeted. We help those who really need it. In the past we just manufactured our products in Nikopol. But some months ago our head office moved there. This is our city, we are responsible for it and want locals to live in the best possible way”.

Due to the active support of the city authorities the up-to-date children’s playground was constructed within days. There are 7 attractions in a 200 sq. m territory. Its capacity allows to play there about twenty — thirty children at the same time. The territory was refined, benches were set. The cost of the project is UAH 50 000. The new playground is located on 1 Kashtanovaya Str., around Nezavisimosty Sq.
