By realizing the challenges that our athletes face, especially in an Olympic year, we decided to show our support by sponsoring for the third consecutive year, the ‘Cyprus International Athletics Meeting’, as we have done so since its first year. We recognize the efforts and sacrifices of all the athletes to distinguish themselves and remain on top of their game, the least we could do, is to support and reward them. With our comprehensive Corporate Responsibility Program, we reciprocate the trust of those who trust us daily and encourage them to attend this great sporting event so we can all applaud these athletes together."
