Corporate Social Responsibility

In view of the achieved success, the group of the companies under the leadership of EQUIS INVEST CONSULTING spol. s r.o. considers it as natural to participate in public service activities.

For this purpose, the Kriváň Foundation was established in 1994. Due to legislation changes, it was transformed into the Kriváň Non-investment Fund with effect from 1 September 1997.

The main activity of the Fund is the support of sporting, artistic and scientific research projects that are very financially demanding and thus less accessible (e.g. participation in foreign expeditions, editing publications, etc.). Our aim is to ensure at least partial financial coverage of such projects or to organize them directly.
