66,000 hryvnias donated by Credit Agricole employees for Custodiol to support sick children

The bank employees raised the amount of 66,000 hryvnias within the traditional charity auction from Credit Agricole Bank’s top managers. With support from the charity foundation “Your Support”, the bank used the funds to purchase 15 vials of Custodiol for the little patients of Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery in need of heart surgeries. This medication “preserves” the heart for the duration of the surgery.

“It’s one of Credit Agricole’s most beloved traditions. For the third year in a row, we hold the charity auction from the Bank’s top managers. This initiative has always resonated with our employees and we are able to exceed the original fund raising goal – this time it was 109%. We are actively promoting charity through our systemic projects and volunteering and we are overjoyed that more and more people in the company are joining in the good deeds. “Custodiol from Credit Agricole” is one of those initiatives that develops the bank’s corporate culture as well as changes mindsets of the teams”, Viktoriia Torianyk, head of the Brand and Communications Department at Credit Agricole Bank, said.

In the period from December 20, 2021 to January 10, 2022 Credit Agricole held its annual charity auction from the bank’s top managers where they offered their lots. Anyone who cares for the cause could participate in the charity campaign by donating at least 300 hryvnias for “Custodiol from Credit Agricole”. The raffle from the bank’s top managers was open for employees only:
