Diplomacy & Commerce magazine celebrated its second birthday on Thursday, 22nd March, in the new Bitef Art Cafe.

Winners Of The „Diplomacy & Commerce Awards 2018“

Apart from celebrating its second anniversary, the magazine also gave out the DIPLOMACY & COMMERCE AWARDS at the event to individuals, companies and organizations that distinguished themselves in their humanitarian work, CSR activities, combining business and culture, and contributing to creating better conditions for doing business, bilateral cooperation, civil society and the economic environment in Serbia.

The Diplomacy & Commerce Awards were given out in nine categories to companies and organizations, namely for their contribution to the development of civil society and bolstering the economy.

AWARD FOR CONTRIBUTION TO DEVELOPMENT OF ART AND CULTURE

GIORGIO MARCHEGIANI Director General of DDOR

DDOR insurance company won the award for its contribution to culture in Serbia, and we are very proud of this because it is one of the ways that we demonstrate our corporate social responsibility. We did this through several initiatives that I believe were quite visible. One of them is sponsoring the Belgrade Dance Festival, as well as Dragan Bjelogrlic and making of his hit TV series „Senke nad Balkanom“ (“Shadows over the Balkans”). There is also our collaboration with Matica Srpska’s Gallery in Novi Sad. Of course, there are other campaigns that were not that visible. Our CSR activities have a wide reach and scope. DDOR supports culture in Serbia, and we believe that if we have a better society, people will be happier which goes hand in hand with the awareness that safety, which is what we basically sell, is a social good. In a nutshell, we compete every day for a bigger market share, numbers and profits, but we cannot compete so directly in terms of culture which is very important to us. This is something that cannot be really measured, but, in our eyes, it is as important as our company’s market share.
