Ericsson Nikola Tesla helps and donates to earthquake victims in Sisak-Moslavina County

  Categories: Notices

With disbelief and trepidation, Ericsson Nikola Tesla received the news of the catastrophic extent of the damage caused by the earthquake that struck the entire Sisak-Moslavina County.

The company’s expert team

Immediately after the earthquake, our company’s expert team, in collaboration with Hrvatski Telekom (HT), went to the affected area and have made great efforts to ensure the smooth functioning of telecommunications infrastructure and internet connection, as well as the users’ increased need to communicate. Numerous volunteers, including our company’s employees, also help as much as they can.

Wanting to join the wave of humanity and kindness that immediately spread through the whole of Croatia, the Management Board and Leadership Team of Ericsson Nikola Tesla made a decision to donate HRK 400,000 to the account that the Government of the Republic of Croatia opened with the aim of collecting aid to repair the damage caused by earthquakes in the towns of Petrinja, Sisak and Glina and other towns and municipalities struck by devastating earthquakes.

On that occasion, president of Ericsson Nikola Tesla Gordana Kovačević, MSc, pointed out: “Unfortunately, instead of holiday happiness and joy, we conclude this challenging year with shocking scenes of unfortunate citizens of Petrinja, Sisak, Glina and other neighboring towns and villages that were struck by a series of powerful earthquakes, while the ground is still shaking. My heart and the hearts of all employees of Ericsson Nikola Tesla go out to all the people living in the affected area, and especially to families whose loved ones have lost their lives or have been seriously injured. We want them to know that they are not alone. Our dedicated work on-site, in collaboration with HT, in securing the telecommunications infrastructure as well as this donation are the best example of how one should help when it matters most. Over the course of this difficult and unpredictable year, Ericsson Nikola Tesla, being a socially responsible company, has already directed a number of donations primarily to healthcare institutions which are on the front line of the fight against the coronavirus as well as to other vulnerable members of our society.”
