Emil Frey Group donates HRK 1 M following disastrous earthquake in Croatia

Following the devastating 6.2 earthquake that hit central Croatia on the 29th of December, Emil Frey Group members operating in the country have used an urgent procedure to donate HRK 1 million towards the state-wide efforts to help the population of the Sisak-Moslavina County.

On behalf of its member companies registered in Croatia, Emil Frey Group has donated an equivalent of 133 300 EUR to the national Red Cross. Member companies include Autocommerce Hrvatska, C-Automobil Import, Emil Frey Auto Centar, Emil Frey Digital, P-Automobil Import, Star Import and Frey Services.

Hours after the earthquake, access to overnight shelter, heating, food, and clothing was critical, as thousands of buildings in the Sisak-Moslavina County – including private homes and public institutions – were heavily damaged. As people are being evacuated from ruins, authorities are working on re-establishing access to critical infrastructure so that rescue efforts can continue.
