EVEX Won the EBRD Sustainable Development Award

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has named the best partner organizations in its beneficiary countries for sustainable development.

According to the EBRD, the winners were determined by assessing the measures taken in the social and environmental directions. The Georgian Healthcare Group received the "Golden Award" because of the steps taken in the social direction.

"This award reflects the results achieved by our clients in the areas of environmental protection and social welfare," said Alistair Clark, CEO of the EBRD.

The winning companies were identified in the following areas - renewable energy; Climate; Best social practice; Environmental and social innovation; Gender and Inclusion.

EVEX has become the winner in this last criteria.

The EBRD has issued a $ 4 million loan to local government provider EVEX, the largest private provider of health care loans in Georgia. The construction of a new laboratory in Tbilisi was financed with this fund.

According to the EBRD, EVEX is taking care of the development of nursing activities in the country and among them is promoting their professional development and is trying to involve more men in the sector, which is traditionally dominated by women.
