WITH SENSITIVITY TOWARDS SOCIETY

The YΙOTIS Company was founded in 1930, with the main purpose of creating products for the nutrition and development of children, contributing to the treatment of the food problem that our country was facing at that time. From then until today ΥIOTIS SA remains firmly on the side of Greek society. True to its values and with the social sensitivity the company stands for, it constantly implements its social work, strengthening its positive footprint toward our society.

A key pillar of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility Program is supporting vulnerable groups. Through the Food Donation Program "Nourish with love" YIOTIS S.A. practically contributes to dealing with the food crisis in our country consistently supporting Greek families and vulnerable groups in need. In the last 4 years alone, YIOTIS S.A. has supported over 530 organizations with food donation, such as Municipal Food Groceries, Foundations, Non Profit Organizations and other social organizations throughout Greece. In particular, the company distributed more than 1.900.000 food portions, as well as 40 tons of flour. 

Another key pillar of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility Program is the contribution to the fight against low birth rate in our country. In November 2018, the company announced the launch of the program "A hope is born!", which aims to help reduce the low birth rate. The program is implemented in collaboration with the urban non-profit company HOPEgenesis, which deals intensively with the issue of low birth rate in Greece.

In the context of this partnership, YIOTIS S.A. "adopts", 90 remote villages of Greece, which belong to the regions of Central Greece and Epirus. Specifically in the regional units of Evritania, Fokida, Fthiotida, Evia and Arta and, more specifically, in the municipal units of the Municipalities of Karpenisi, Dorida, Lamia, Makrakomi, Karystos and Central Tzoumerka. YIOTIS SA supports the women residents of these 90 villages, who want to become mothers but are hesitant due to difficult conditions, such as limited access to medical-obstetric infrastructure. The company undertakes to cover the costs of their pregnancy monitoring, prenatal and childbirth examinations, as well as their transportation and accommodation costs. In addition, it covers the baby food needs of babies born in the 90 villages it has "adopted", for the first two years of their lives (more information at www.jotis-miaelpidagennietai.gr).

Another key pillar of Corporate Social Responsibility of YIOTIS company is the response to emergency national needs and the support of society.

In this context, in March 2020, the company, responding to the extremely difficult conditions in our country due to COVID 19, with a sense of responsibility donated to the Ministry of Health 20 modern respirators for the equipment of Intensive Care Units of reference hospitals throughout Greece, actively supporting the community, the Ministry of Health, as well as the medical and nursing staff, which is at the forefront of dealing with the virus.

Also, the company is always next to the Greek society and responds to exceptional national issues, such as in cases of earthquakes, floods, fires, etc., supporting the residents of the affected areas. In this context, in 2017, the company stood by the flood-affected residents of Mandra, Attica. In July 2018, the company stood by the fire-affected residents of Mati in Attica, offering its products through the Food Bank, and participated with financial sponsorship, in SEV’s initiative for direct financial support to 130 families affected.

In 2022, YIOTIS S.A. participated in various humanitarian aid missions in Ukrane, sending baby and infant food. In March 2023, the company participated in food donation to the Turkey and Syria earthquake striken people.
