Metalloinvest has supported the Siberia, We Are With You initiative to extinguish forest fires in Siberian regions of Russia. The company provided financial support to ANO "Volunteer Corps of Baikal" to overcome the consequences of a natural disaster, as well as prevent accidents.

Thus, Metalloinvest, along with the largest Russian companies, has joined the initiative to restore the Siberian taiga. Supporting local groups of volunteers who provide assistance to forest guards and who are the first to arrive at the scene of forest fires was chosen as one of the measures to combat the fires.

During the year, within the framework of the project “Creation of a resource center (material and technical base) for firefighting volunteerism in Siberia and the Far East”, the following activities are planned: organization of visits by ANO “Volunteer Corps of Baikal” employees and volunteers to extinguish fires in Buryatia and Irkutsk region; carrying out works to prevent and eliminate the consequences of fires and emergencies; development of charity and volunteering; support for environmental volunteer initiatives of citizens; conducting information campaigns on the prevention of wildfires, conducting classes with schoolchildren.

Metalloinvest views the concept of sustainable development as an integral part of its long-term strategy and one of the key factors in its competitiveness. Charitable programs are aimed at creating a prolonged and sustainable effect. In 2018, Metalloinvest's total investment in external social programs amounted to RUB 5.3 billion. The Company's work in the field of environmental protection and labor protection has received a high independent assessment.
