MCC Bulgaria awarded Superbrand

December 2009
MCC Bulgaria was honored as one of the 50 Superbrands in the country by the world’s largest independent arbiter of brands. The Project runs once in two years. The next issue will be in 2011.

The corporate representatives of 50 recognized Bulgarian and international companies in the consumer and service sectors received certificates for their outstanding performance at the awarding ceremony also attended by government officials and foreign ambassadors.

MCC Bulgaria received the prestigious award for its established reputation among the customers and the public. The company’s solid commitment to social responsibility had also helped it secure the honor.

As a part of its global program, this was Superbrands 3^rd edition in Bulgaria since it was initially introduced in late 2006. The winning brands had been defined through 2 stages – secret vote of the Superbrands board and a nationwide online poll, which was open to the general public and recorded more than 10,000 votes.

All the winning brands are now allowed to use the Superbrands symbol in their 2010 internal and external communications. The companies will also benefit from the Superbrands Members Exchange program that enables them to establish contact with potential partners, investors and marketing experts from all of the 60 participating countries.

We strongly believe that the Superbrand award is the result of the strong company performance between the professional customers, suppliers, service experts and marketing professionals.

МЕТРО Кеш енд Кери България – участник в "Грижа и съпричастие в Европейския ден на здравословното хранене и кулинарство"

София, 14 януари 2010 г .
МЕТРО Кеш енд Кери България участва в
"Грижа и съпричастие в Европейския ден на здравословното хранене и кулинарство"
за младежи.

МЕТРО като социално отговорна компания и верен партньор на много професионалисти в областта ХоРеКа се включи в събитието, предоставяйки пресни плодове за над 500-те участника. По време на форума беше оповестена инициативата за 2010 година – "Плодове в училище".

Представителството на Европейската комисия в България и Европейската асоциация на готвачите (Euro-Toques) гостуваха за трети път на събитието "Европейски ден на здравословното хранене и кулинарство". Инициативата цели европейските деца да бъдат достатъчно информирани относно важността и значението на балансираното ежедневно меню.

Зинаида Златанова – ръководител на Представителството на Европейската комисия, Жоро Иванов – президент на Euro-toques Bulgaria и представители от здравни институции взеха участие във форума.

Към събитието се присъеди и Фред Дийселблоем – председател на Euro-Toques, Холандия. Метро България се радва на добри взаимоотношения и сътрудничество с Euro Toque Bulgaria.

"Европейският ден на здравословното хранене и кулинарство" се състоя на 14 януари в Международния изложбен център, София. 500 ученика от 20 учебни заведения посетиха центъра в деня на здравословното хранене. Участие взеха и младежи от редица сиропиталища.

Цел на "Европейския ден на здравословното хранене и кулинарство" е да фокусира вниманието на обществото към влиянието, което има преподаването на принципите на здравословното хранене на младежите. Това може да допринесе за намаляване на нивото на прекомерно затлъстяване на европейското общество като цяло.
