Management approach
The company has built a social investments and charitable activities management system. The budget of charitable projects is formed annually as part of a single budget planning process and is approved by the Company’s Management Board. It is important to note that most of the projects are implemented by the Company in partnership, based on the principles of co-financing. Thus, a higher level of involvement by the public, local government bodies and the business community is achieved, the principles of partnership are implemented.
New projects are brought before the Company’s Management Board for review per the procedure established by internal regulations. Every year, the Management Board hears a report on the results of activities in this area and adopts a decision as to further support or termination of work for each programme and project.
