Because we care ...

Living up to their business slogan "Because We Care," Lasco (Barbados) Limited continues to play a key role in the Heart Foundation of Barbados' public education and outreach programmes. The company recently became the first business institution in Barbados to participate in the HFOB's recently initiated system of Awards and Recognitions. Their significant contribution, which will cover a 12-month period from June this year, has earned the company the Platinum Heart Award, and recognition as a leader in heart disease prevention and control.

Lasco Ltd. has designated that their commitment goes to assist indigent persons to access the HFOB's Cardiac Disease Prevention and Rehabilitation Programme.

Managing Director of Lasco Ltd., Cicely Reid­Sealey, noted tha t although Lasco has been associated with the HFOB in many ways in the past, participation in the Awards and Recognitions initiative gives the company the opportunity to be involved in a really meaningful way with the rehab programme. "It is a worthwhile venture," she said, "and this is a way for us to give something back to the society for the excellent support that they have given us. Business is not only about making a profit; it is about the development of the people around you, and helping to build a better community."

Mrs. Reid-Sealey continued: "We at Lasco are happy to play our part in catering to the better health of Barbadians, and in particular to be able to do something tangible for persons in need."
