Technology today is essential to having a successful enterprise and it is not only about software! We invest quite a lot in it! CLIENT AND PUBLIC RELATIONS AppleCore Foods hosts a number of events throughout the year but the highlight of the calendar is the End of Season Partners event. Consisting of a street party in front of AppleCore’s offices, the event provides a showcase of the company’s products. Attracting around 700 guests, the event provides the company with an excellent op- portunity to ‘meet and greet’ its clients at the heart of its operations. In addition to this, a number of small retail events are organised throughout the year. 16 Issue 06 Pierre also explains the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme Core-porate Care. Pierre strongly believes that CSR is not just about giving money but is to be involved in the community directly. One of AppleCore’s aims and goals is to make sure the company is on track and actively keeping the en- vironment green. Pierre considers that CSR is not just about doing something physically for some- one or some entity but involves also the playing of an active role in any initiative the company decides to support. Furthermore, teamwork is very high on AppleCore’s agenda, so any idea brought up on giving back is properly evaluated too. If a valid idea is pre- sented, then it is followed up and acted upon. Over the past, the company has implemented a num- ber of staff initiatives. Pierre strives to maintain strong contact with every member of the team. “Some ideas come from the least expected team member. Some might be trivial but could spark larger ideas,” he noted.
