The Nestlé Bangladesh Limited has stood by the distressed people and donated nutritious ‘Nestlé food products’ to Prime Minister’s Relief & Welfare Fund, Sajida Foundation and around 1,000 distressed families in Sreepur for the coronavirus crisis.
The assistance is as a part of its overall commitment of Tk10 million for the COVID-19 crisis response, it said in a statement.
“Nestlé has always been a part of the society from its inception in this country and today once again, the entire team has come forward by being a contributor for helping the distressed in this critical COVID-19 situation,” Deepal Abeywickrema, Managing Director, said.
“In this national crisis, we pledge to stand by the country by helping the people in need. Staff contribution reflects our core value and just fraction of our commitment to the society.
“By doing this, we are doing our part of returning to the society, paying it forward for many to come along and we are proud to be doing the best we can”, the managing director said.
The employees also voluntarily joined hands together with the organisation contributing a part of their salary to support the communities, Nestle said.
