As part of our ongoing commitment to social responsibility and ethical behavior, CiS electronic GmbH continues to support major initiatives worldwide, including Plan International. Our support reflects our commitment to the principles of the UN Global Compact, to which we have been committed since 2014, and underlines our commitment to human rights, labor standards and environmental protection.
Through our long-standing sponsorship of Oldina, a 17-year-old girl from Haiti, we promote education and personal development as key factors in overcoming poverty. Last year, thanks to Plan International's projects, 3,193 households were supported during the food crisis and 7,713 schoolchildren were educated about sexual and reproductive health. These measures are essential to give young people, especially girls, the tools they need to make informed decisions and actively shape their future.
The CiS Group is not only committed to the education of children and young people in the developing world, but also supports wide-ranging initiatives such as the Adveniat aid project 'El Arranque' in Buenos Aires and local social projects in our communities. This includes the promotion of schools, kindergartens, cultural activities and more, which directly benefit the communities and lay the foundations for a better future.
Our Code of Ethics and Conduct emphasizes the importance of integrity and honesty in all our actions. We attach great importance to a non-discriminatory, fair and healthy working environment and promote exchange and understanding between employees of all locations and nationalities. Strengthened by these values, we as the CiS family are committed to bringing about positive change through education and social projects.
We are proud to be part of this important work and look forward to continuing our partnership with Plan International to further improve living conditions in Haiti and other parts of the world.
