New CSR activities by PwC

PRESS RELEASE
8 February 2012

PwC Cyprus, faithful to its commitment for continuous active contribution in the society, has developed a comprehensive corporate social responsibility plan which aims at dealing with various environmental and social issues.

In this context, PwC organised on 27 January an event where Andreas Cariolou, the well known Cypriot Olympic sailing athlete, shared his experiences and visions with the members of the staff and their children. Andreas Cariolou, who is sponsored by PwC, has represented Cyprus in the Olympic Games in Athens and Beijing while now he is preparing for the summer Olympics in London.

The Cypriot sailing athlete said “I very excited to participate in the Olympic Games as this will be a unique experience. I am in good shape and I hope for the best possible outcome”.

On the occasion of the Worldwide Safer Internet day which was celebrated on 7 February, the children had the opportunity to participate in a really interesting discussion and receive advice about safe internet usage during the same event.

PwC also completed an innovative on-line campaign with the theme “Helping the Association for the Welfare of People with Mental Handicap” which aimed at raising money for the association based in the number of new likes on the PwC facebook page (www.facebook.com/PwC.Cyprus).  After the completion of the campaign PwC offered the amount of €2.000 to the association.
