• The company supported already the St. Doctors Cosma and Damian Municipal Hospital in Rădăuți with 24.624 Euro for the sanitary supplies made available to medical professionals. The support will continue.
• Beneficiaries: the St. Doctors Cosma and Damian Municipal Hospital in Rădăuți, and the Siret Town Hall

 

Through to the motto “Together!”, the HS Timber Productions factories join the local authorities to support their efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.

 

"We always work closely with the communities in which we operate. Therefore, it is a matter of course for us to look for solutions together and to offer our support in the fight against COVID-19, which is an exceptional situation that applies to all of us,” said Dan Bănacu, general manager of HS Timber Productions in Romania. "With our ‘Together!’ initiative, we make a direct contribution and support the actions of local organisations in the fight against COVID-19. In times like these, social cohesion is needed more than ever, which is why we make a contribution where it is needed directly.”

 

A special attention was immediately given to the St. Doctors Cosma and Damian Municipal Hospital in Rădăuți, as it became a support hospital in Suceava county and medical emergencies are redirected here. HS Timber Productions Rădăuți has donated 10,000 latex gloves, 1,000 un-powdered nitrile examination gloves, 2,000 surgical masks, 510 antibiogram sticks, 250 anti-chemical suits, disinfectants, 100 visors, 450 protective glasses, 1,500 examination robes, 3,000 caps and 3,500 pairs of single use footwear. The company also supported the local authorities with the transport costs for medical equipment from Vienna. The support to the local hospital will also continue in the near future. So far, the company has allocated a fund of 21,614 Euro to the sponsorships carried out in Rădăuți and this is only the beginning.

 

In Siret, the local authorities carry out – through the Social Assistance Directorate - social assistance activities for those isolated at home, persons with disabilities and elderly, to whom it delivers food and medicines. The HS Timber Productions Siret panel factory sponsored these activities targeting the most vulnerable members of the community with 3,010 Euro and, at the same time, has made two houses it owns available to the local authorities. These will be used if necessary, to accommodate medical staff during the state of emergency.

 

The support provided by HS Timber Group, in the context of the crisis generated by COVID-19 will continue in all local communities. The initiative is a part of the corporate social responsibility programme, aimed at supporting ambitious projects in the social, education, health and environmental fields, especially in the communities where the Group is present through its production units. Especially in this unpredictable time where we need to keep spatial distance, socially we move even more closer -Together!
