\u201eWe dream of a better society for ourselves and for our children. A society, in which you are not expected to make people good by law or force. A society in which people are together because they need each other. In which everyone strives to fulfill their expectations and take on their responsibilities. A society in which people have a common cause, and are empathetic and willing to cooperate. In which institutions do not dictate people\u2019s lives, and citizens impose the institutional agenda\u201d<\/p>\n

Sasho Donchev,

\nFounder of Overgas<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We, in Overgas, share values and culture as defined by the etymology of the word \u201ecompany\u201c, which means \u201eTogether for the Bread\u201c, in other words, \u201ePeople with Whom I Share My Bread\u201c.

\nOur Overgas family brings together people who have chosen this company to realize themselves and their skills and may be useful.

\nPeople who are not indifferent to what is happening around them, in the company and society, and for which the man\u2019s empathy and help with them are not just words.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tbusiness<\/span>\n\t\t1<\/span>\n\t<\/div>
\nCorporate Social Responsibility for us is not an obligation, it is not a fashion trend that we follow, nor is it imputed to us by anyone. Our commitment to public causes has been part of our credo for nearly 30 years.

Along with our main mission to provide access to ecologically clean, efficient and economical energy alternative, i.e. the natural gas, for all, we believe that the world is governed by goodness, that only sympathy is not enough and that we are part of the change.


\nWe believe that the Bulgarian dream will come true thanks to the efforts of highly educated and capable Bulgarians. We believe that the change we dream of is possible when the efforts of people and companies are multiplying every day. And we are glad we are not alone in this cause.

\n

The annual sports tournaments \u201eAct of kindness' games\u201c show us that the responsible companies, the health of employees, sport and charitable causes can go hand in hand. By participating in football, tennis, volleyball, cycling, table tennis and other events, each company fights for a different social cause. The winning team receives the prize fund in the respective discipline and donates it for the benefit of the people in need.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
