As part of this initiative, EGCO personnel have the option to send e-cards to relevant stakeholders, and stakeholders themselves are encouraged to participate in online games and select their preferred charitable organizations.
EGCO Group takes full responsibility for the entire donation budget throughout the project, aligning with its commitment to transparent business practices, good governance principles, and the company's No Gift Policy.
