TITAN

TITAN’s long-term commitment to create value which is shared with key stakeholders was the main focus of dialogue developed in a more systematic way in 2011.

Evaluating the last decade that TITAN has acquired the local cement plant in the area of Kosjeric, a number of activities were initiated, highlighting that approximately €50 million were invested in production modernization throughout this past decade, €15 million or else 30% of the total expenditure was related to environmental protection, while another €11 million or else 22% of total expenditure was financial support to local community development projects.

Starting in February 2011, the management invited local stakeholders in an open forum to discuss what has been achieved so far and what the key challenges are for the future.

Apart from a stable uphold to the local community of Kosjeric, TCK is recognized as a reliable partner by the society institutions, corporate affiliates, cement industry members, authorities, ministry departments as well as educational and cultural institutions.
