Support of local communities 

JTI Bulgaria is committed to supporting local communities and the environment through various initiatives. The company collaborates with non-governmental organizations, offering financial, material, and volunteer support. One key partnership is with the BCause Foundation, a leading organization with 20 years of expertise in corporate social responsibility. Additionally, JTI Bulgaria has a long-standing partnership with the JAMBA Foundation, which focuses on integrating people with disabilities into the labor market. Notable long-term projects supported by JTI Bulgaria include a collaboration with the State Forestry for the planting and maintenance of 500 trees near Sofia by its employees, the North-West Project - a social kitchen for the elderly in the village of Lyutibrod.


JTI Bulgaria awarded for best project in human resources by BAPM

JTI Bulgaria received the prestigious 'Best HR Project for Small/Medium Enterprises' award at the 2023 annual HR awards, organized by the Bulgarian Association for People Management (BAPM). Our project, 'Move. See. Help.,' earned first place in this category. This project not only focuses on the physical and mental well-being of the company's employees but also has a charitable aspect. Through it, the company encourages its employees to lead a more active lifestyle, with every effort they make within the program generating a donation to the Jamba Career Center for People with Disabilities.

JTI is proud to partner with the Embassy of Japan in Bulgaria for the Days of Japanese Culture program. Since its inception in 1990, this event has grown to become the largest local festival celebrating Japan's people, customs, and heritage. The festival offers a comprehensive view of Japan's rich achievements and traditions through various major exhibitions. Highlights include traditional Kabuki theatre, tea ceremonies, bonsai, haiku, ikebana, martial arts, Japanese architecture, films, and paper crafts such as origami.

 

 

JTI believes in the cause of Jamba and recognizes the problem of inclusion in the labor market as one of the biggest challenges facing people with different abilities. Our company and team believe that the efforts of businesses to support activities that improve access to important resources and services for different social groups are key to the development of society.
