20. Nov 2021.
The UNBREAKABLE campaign of Hemofarm Foundation, for improvement of mental health, fighting depression and stigma that labels those affected, was voted best socially responsible campaign in Serbia in 2021. At the official ceremony of the first CSR festival in Serbia – Campaigns with Purpose, Hemofarm Foundation was awarded Grand Prix for having tackled an importans social problem, drawn public attention and offered possible solutions in its UNBREAKABLE campaign, as it was explained in the rationale.

‘We are really honoured with this award, since this means that our work has been recognised and appreciated. We believe that the interest of society is our interest, too. Even before COVID-19, depression was one of the leading disorders worldwide, while due to the different way of life dictated by the pandemic, the number of those who suffer from depression is considerably higher today. As a company and a foundation caring for people’s health, it was our duty to offer psychosocial aid to everyone who needed it in these hard times, through establishing an SOS line for fighting depression and a support network. This award obliges us to continue to fight even harder for a more responsible, more solidary and healthier society’, said Suzana Đorđević, Director of Hemofarm Foundation.
