Our greatest responsibility is towards our employees and their families. Because our employees, their families, together with their friends and relatives, they are the community. We are the community. Together. We decided to give our support to the local emergency hospital in Slatina, to help the medical staff in its fight against the coronavirus. Other resources have been directed to the law enforcement authorities, Red Cross, which are in the frontline of the fight”, said Gheorghe DOBRA, Chief Executive Officer ALRO Slatina.
“We have put in place operational, administrative and health protocols and procedures within ALRO premises to secure the health of our employees, to prevent infection in our locations, to ensure a steady supply for our clients and to mitigate the negative consequences derived from this global pandemic”, added Gheorghe DOBRA. ALRO’s contribution to Slatina Emergency County Hospital will help the medical staff to procure the medical supplies needed for both medical staff and patients, thus ensuring the proper working conditions for the efficient crisis management of the COVID-19 cases. In parallel, the Company’s donations to Romanian Red Cross will ensure the funds needed to acquire the hygiene products and food for the persons under lockdown in their homes due to COVID-19 aggressiveness.
Another critical component in the fight against fast spreading COVID-19 is represented by the County and Local Police. ALRO provided support to the police force in Olt County area with protective equipment (i.e. face masks and overalls), high visibility reflective jackets and body-video-cameras used for limiting the spread of coronavirus.
