...employees and their kin to emergency relief centers and hired trucks and planes to ship food, water and medicine to the area. The Paris headquarters donated €767,000 to affected countries, and continues to collect contributions from its 75,000 employees around the world. It will soon dispatch a team to plan the rebuilding of the Lho Nga plant and nearby villages.
