Description

At Plaisio Computers, contributing to society is a fundamental element of the company’s identity and is deeply embedded in its business strategy. With a long-standing presence in the Greek market, Plaisio has established itself as one of the most active and socially conscious companies, with a consistent and meaningful contribution to society—particularly to vulnerable groups.

A central role in the company’s social responsibility initiatives is played by the employee volunteer team “Plai Sou” (“By Your Side”), which is mobilized in numerous circumstances with the sole purpose of offering selfless support to those in need. This team is a living example of the culture of solidarity cultivated within the company.

In 2024, under the “Drops of Life” program, four organized blood donation drives were held, collecting a total of 185 units of blood, which were distributed to public hospitals and social care institutions to meet urgent needs.

At the same time, through its collaboration with the organization “Symplefsi”, Plaisio contributed to improving access to education for students in remote areas. Specifically, 700 items of technological and non-technological equipment were distributed to more than 300 students in border regions, promoting equal access to the educational process.

These actions are part of a broader corporate social responsibility strategy, based on the active participation of employees, collaboration with trusted social organizations, and a genuine response to the needs of society.
