■ AMONG THE many companies that give back to the community by donating scholarships, conducting workshops for high-school students and encouraging employees to participate in community welfare activities is Haifa Chemicals. It has long been involved in Haifa’s development from a variety of standpoints, as well as developments in the south of the country through one of its other major plants. Nir Yitzhaki, deputy CEO for human resources, does his best to channel community activities in areas where the company’s employees live so that they will have a more positive attitude about giving of themselves and, at the same time, are contributing to the company’s image in places where they are familiar figures.

The company’s employees volunteer all year round. One of the key activities they engage in on a voluntary basis is renovating schools by applying fresh coats of paint and repairing broken furniture. Recently, two busloads of employees were sent to Kiryat Eliezer, where they worked for two days giving a face-lift to two schools, while employees in the South did the same with two schools in Dimona. These good deeds are carried out with the full cooperation of the employees’ trade union divisions and work committees.
