Social Responsibility
OVAG International deals with people from all over the world every day, many of whom have serious health problems or have had life changing accidents. As part of OVAG’s wider commitment to society, we also give back to the communities we live in and work with. Each year we donate to associations that directly assist those in need and that support the families of children when they most need it.
