“Many employees of the Group in London originate from the disaster areas and have either lost relatives or have relatives which have been affected by the disaster in other ways. We express our deepest sympathy with them. We are very proud of our employees who initiated the fundraising and have given generously in an effort to express their sympathy with their fellow colleagues and victims of the disaster. It is our social responsibility to contribute to the relief work in any way we can and aid survivors of this most terrible catastrophe of our times.”
