“As a customer centric company, our CSR strategy is based on creating value for the society and bringing positive changes in people’s lives.

I am glad to see that the project fulfilled its mission successfully and for the first time, a company from Azerbaijan receives an award at this reputable competition,” Head of Public Relations Department at Nar Aziz Akhundov said at the awarding ceremony.

The competition evaluates the best communication projects based on high standards, innovative approach, quality of planning and implementation.
