Kranj, 30 August 2010 – After a three-year  period of carrying out the measures under the Family-friendly company projects has finished, and the audit for a full Family-friendly company certificate was successfully passed.  For the next certification period, 2010-2013, the Sava Group has adopted new measures such as children time bonus, granting scholarships to children, a reward upon childbirth,  New Year's entertainment for children, loans and financial aid to employees. In connection with the latter, the Sava Group already made possible for the children of  their employees to spend a week at the seaside.  

For the following certification period 2010-2013, the Sava Group adopted five new measures under the Family-friendly company project, one of which is to provide gratis holidays at the seaside for children of the Sava Group employees. Such holidays will be organised in cooperation with the organisations registered for children holidays that have suitable accommodation facilities available (The Slovene Association of Youth Friends, Institute for Holidaymaking and Recreation of Children, Ljubljana - ZLRO).     

13 children of employees from Sava Group companies applied for this campaign, who in the past week, from 23 to 29 August,  enjoyed  summer joys in the ZLRO facilities in Piran; they  could express their creativity in various workshops, competed in sports games and played numerous social games. They held the Piran Has a Talent show, had a boat ride or learnt how to swim.  
 
» At  the Institute for Holidaymaking and Recreation of Children, we,  welcome this year's cooperation with the Sava Group in holidays for children in Piran. This adopted measure under the Family-friendly company project shows the implementation of company's social responsibility in practice.  I look forward to our future cooperation and hope that more companies will follow Sava's example, » said director of the Institute Alojzij Potočar on this occasion.

Other measures that the Sava Group has adopted  include children time bonus, in which case parents are approved 12 hours within their regular working time for the first introducing their child in a nursery school.  By granting scholarships to children whose parents have died, the company will not only disburden the household budgets but also provide a possibility for their further education. The company will hand over a money reward or a gift for every new child born to Sava employees.
