The trees, which had been used to decorate the exterior of the hospitals during Christmas, were donated to the Municipality of Lavreotiki on Wednesday, January 16. The trees will be planted in the area of Legraina, which was seriously affected by the fires in the summer of 2012.
The Mayor of Lavreotiki, Mr Konstantinos Levantis, thanked HYGEIA Group’s Management for its initiative, noting, “These types of actions decisively contribute to healing the wounds left by the fires in the area and reflect our genuine sensitivity for the area and the environment.”
On her part, HYGEIA Group’s CEO, Ms Areti Souvatzoglou, stated, “Focusing on comprehensive environmental management, HYGEIA Group undertakes initiatives that aim to protect both public and private health. Besides, two of HYGEIA Group’s crystal-clear commitments are to care for and to sustain the environment. We believe that this initiative highlights the strong sense of responsibility we all feel towards the environment and we are hoping that this action will breathe new life into the affected areas.”
