On 18th January 2005, each Schneider Electric site across the globe will organise a one-day fundraising drive to increase donations and help fund the reconstruction projects.
Each employee donation will be matched by the company.
This will take place under the auspices of the Schneider Electric Foundation, which works on projects to help areas and people in need.
"We are committed to helping the victims of the tsunami disaster and will continue to do all we can to improve their situation", stated Gael de la Rochere, Managing Director of Schneider Electric (UK).
The fundraising operations will be coordinated by the Schneider Electric Foundation under Gilles Vermot Desroches, and with the close involvement of local country managers.
