Half of the amount will go to projects in Turkey and half to projects in Syria. The focus is on immediate basic humanitarian care for the population in the crisis region, such as the distribution of relief supplies or emergency humanitarian and medical care.
As voestalpine, we see it as part of our responsibility to people to provide financial aid as quickly and unbureaucratically as possible in the event of global disasters such as the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. With our donation, we want to make an active contribution to alleviating the hardship of those affected on the ground.
voestalpine operates two sites in Turkey with over 300 employees that are located outside the disaster areas. The Group does not have a site in Syria.
