’After receiving the highest GRI mark A+ for business operations in accordance with the sustainable development principles, this award is further proof that we in Hemofarm live and work just as an inseparable part of our environment that we actively preserve and continuously improve. Our goal in the upcoming period is, while taking care of our joint future, to intensify the dialogue with interested parties so that we could leave a more beautiful, better and healthier environment as a legacy for the generations to come’ - Natalija Popović said and added that the Danube is an important link for all 14 countries that collaborate and conduct business in the Danube Region.

’The award we presented to Hemofarm is yet another reference for its leading position in the regional market, but also recognition for contribution to the implementation of the Danube Strategy and promotion of European values. Hemofarm is an example of successful privatization and as a member of a large STADA Group it respects the interests of all interested parties, particularly the needs of local community, while at the same time it invests in research and development and development of human resources. These are the things that make it a leader of competitiveness and sustainable development’ - Marija Vujaković said, Director of the Centre for Business Standardization and Certification, one of the organizers of the event, together with 'Media Invent’ and the Provincial Government of AP Vojvodina.
