During its annual market drinks, Middlesea Group presented donations to President Edward Fenech Adami for the Community Chest Fund and Mgr Carm Farrugia for Caritas Malta.

The company, which is committed to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy, treats its relationship between business and society as a priority. Middlesea Group seeks to play an active role in supporting initiatives that aim to improve the social fabric. It is cognizant of its role as a leader in the financial services industry and strongly believes it is in duty bound to promote a social conscience.

During its market drinks, attended by various practitioners within the financial services industry in Malta, Mario C. Grech, Middlesea Group Chairman and CEO stressed the importance of the Group’s CSR Policy.

Mr Grech said: “Business is not solely about making profit. As a listed company the Group feels it is responsible to contribute to the community and to support institutions which make large efforts to help members of society who are going through difficult times. Caritas Malta and the Community Chest Fund deserve all our praise for their hard work.”

As part of its CSR Policy, in 2006 Middlesea Group supported various community initiatives and charitable causes. The Company’s members of staff organised initiatives such as dress-down days to raise funds and participate in a payroll giving scheme, whereby they donate directly to a charity through their salary. The Group, in collaboration with another institution, also provides work experience for persons with special needs.
