Corporate Citizenship

Overview

Community involvement
|
Sustainabilty
|
Epirroi is a team of ethical corporate citizens. We take pride in our open and transparent culture; we understand that the world is “flat” and we are all interconnected. Epirroi prioritizes social responsibility for meeting the legal, ethical and economic responsibilities that positively contribute to the communities in which we operate.
Epirroi understands that developing a symbiotic relationship with the communities in which we operate is an integral part of our success. Our team is constantly exploring new ways to give back to the communities that are directly or indirectly tied to our operations. We hope our clients emulate our commitment to helping communities and smaller firms fulfill their potential because it is an investment into the social fabric that allows both businesses and people to thrive.
Our focus is enabling win-win situations for you, your stakeholders, and communities in your surrounding. By re-aligning entities and creating shared value for the ecosystems in which we operate with you, we secure long-term positioning and success. Epirroi’s commitment to this win-win principle can be applied to even the most difficult situations. In one of several conflict-ridden countries in which Epirroi has operated, we successfully linked together over 400 civil society organizations. We worked with 77 of these organizations and transformed them into social enterprises ensuring their viability in a post-donor economy. Epirroi connected and re-aligned small, medium and large enterprises with civil society organizations and reworked their models to yield a robust win-win situation based on national and regional needs. Our work in this instance illustrates perfectly our culture of giving, supporting and enabling the excluded communities, as our assistance to these organizations was done entirely pro bono. We view these sorts of activities as essential for us as civic-minded people and as good corporate citizens.
