                  Testimonials
                  “I want to thank all colleagues who have been and are part of this project. We are pioneers as I like to say because we are the first company to install the first RVM (Reverse Vending Machine) for recycling in Pitesti in 2011. This year we have installed these machines in all our stores and the results have been impressive. We implemented the DRS (Deposit-Return System) and in less than 6000 days we have collected more than 23 million packages, offering customers 0.5 RON for each returned package. We can say that our customers are familiar with the DRS and are ready for its implementation. We are glad to see that other retail colleagues have started similar actions and we believe that a collective action would have a major impact. Auchan continues to do responsible things and contribute to a better future, not only for a greener planet but also for a cleaner Romania. Thank you for this award and know that we are proud!”
                  Andrei Iliescu
                  Environmental Manager at Auchan Romania
                  “Vodafone is a company that eminently facilitates connections and I’m not talking about the connection of networks but those between people, values, and communities. I think it is a sign of respect for communities to be increasingly sustainable. That’s why since 2020, we have tried and succeeded in powering our grid exclusively from renewable sources. From 2021 the entire Vodafone network in Europe is powered by renewable sources. This is the most important sign that we respect our community and soon you will see more such projects powered by Vodafone Foundation.”

                  Head of Public Affairs, ESG and Communications at Vodafone Romania
                  “It is clear that this award is to the credit of all of us. Once again we can say that we can have technology, we can have artificial intelligence, we can have anything, but without people, without souls, without involvement and without passion we can do nothing. Personally, many years ago I took an oath and I think it has guided me all my life to do what I do today. Thank you very much, thank you for your trust and appreciation!"

Together with our partners, we have made significant steps towards a more digital Romania.”
