Social Responsibility
Community: Our Vision
One of the values Baran Group has adopted is involvement in and commitment to the community and to social change in the Israeli society.Since the foundation of Baran Group, we have been involved in various community activities. A strategic process in the area of social responsibility which the company underwent recently, has resulted in a community outreach program which involves the active participation and volunteering of Baran personnel. We believe it is our responsibility to use our skills and resources to help improve the quality of life in the communities in which our employees live and work. We encourage our employees to give something back to their communities.
