Birografika BORI's mission

Entrepreneurship with independent economic marketing is a fundamental business operation of ours as a commercial company despite the fact that we receive certain economic facilities due to our status as a company employing disabled people. These facilities are a compensation for the slightly lower productivity of disabled employees and the added costs regarding this type of employment. This, however does not change the fact that we must cover all our business expenses and accumulate enough assets for continued technological and human resources development.

Birografika BORI as a company employing disabled people

The idea for the creation of such a company was born at the end of the seventies in the scope of the Muscular Association of Muscular Disease of Slovenia, known today as the Muscular Dystophy Association of Slovenia.

Young people with muscular dystrophy as members of this association have recognised that many social rights are connected with permanent employment. Since advanced dystrophy requires the physical aid of other people on a twenty-four hour basis they thus, do not have many possibilities of acquiring permanent employment in an ordinary environment and other positions on the open labour market. This comprehension led them to activate their own creative potential in the field of business on the market.

The fundamental characteristic of our company as a company employing the disabled is above all, that production programs are accommodated to the nature of muscular disease which brings with it progressive disability. This accommodation allows individuals with serious muscular dystrophy , despite decreasing muscular strength, to stay active in his or her profession for a long time and assure their own social security. Modern graphics technology especially enables the continuos accommodation of their job positions due to work efficiency.

Additionally, we have been able to improve relations between the social environment for our country has been devoting ever more attention to removing communication and physical obstacles, acquiring technical accessories and other measures which enable disabled people to also enjoy permanent employment.

We design fundamental programs for complete social immersion which has become one of the leading values to prevent the break down of social cohesion. We are happy that through our varied dynamic development we haven't ignored social institutions, but show all the advantages of entrepreneurship also in the sense of our relationship with the national system of disability security in Slovenia.

Co-operation with other companies employing the disabled

We were one of the founders of the Association of Companies Employing Disabled People in Slovenia and we unselfishly support its continued operations. In solving systematic questions of our professional co-workers, no time taken to solve these problems is considered wasted. We believe that only through teamwork and by together finding effective solutions through the help of the government, parliament and other competent bodies will companies employing disabled people be able to improve quality of life for disabled people.

Co-operation between companies employing disabled people has been successfully set up in light of their status and their special economic position. The next step which includes a common marketing presentation and brand is still in the creative phase. Individual companies have co-operated in certain projects, but only the increased size of the European market will create a challenge and lead to increased business co-operation and a combined market entry.
