The earthquake, which was focused in China's Sichuan Province, is estimated to have killed at least 19,500 people. In cities near the earthquake's epicenter, thousands have been buried under the collapsed buildings and at least 60,000 people are still missing.
Margit Olausson, CSR manager at Björk.Eklund, says:
- Part of our work with CSR is caring for the world and people around us, to be a responsible corporate citizen. When disasters like this happen it is important that we try to help, and this feels especially meaningful for us since we have offices in China. I know that our contribution will do a lot of good in the Sichuan Province.
The money will be donated to the Sichuan Red Cross through the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in China.
