NOVATEK actively engages its employees in volunteer initiatives.
Our volunteer activities include assistance to children left without parental care and children suffering from various diseases, children in the care of boarding schools and rehabilitation centers, as well as elderly people and retired long-service employees.
The landmark events held by the movement participants include:
Clean-ups
NOVATEK-Chelyabinsk employees visited the Taganay National Park, which lies in the northern part of the Southern Urals mountain ranges, and cleaned up the entrance area, shelters, and gazebos.
The volunteers cleaned up hiking trails on ten of the most famous peaks in the South Urals, planted trees as part of the Memory Garden project, helped the Save Me shelter for wild animals, and raised funds for children from low-income families.
Clean-up day
NOVATEK organized a clean-up day at the Company’s headquarters at Udaltsovsky Ponds in Moscow. During the event, the Company employees cleared away waste, dry grass, and leaves on the adjacent territory.
Tree of Wonders New Year event
Company employees have been taking part in the Tree of Wonders New Year campaign since 2018. In 2024, they sent warm wishes to the children in the care of a Noginsk boarding school in the Moscow Region and presented New Year’s gifts to children.
Box of Courage
NOVATEK STC employees took part in the Box of Courage, a Russia-wide project to support seriously ill children. Under the project, patients receive toys to help relieve them during painful procedures.
In 2024, STC employee volunteers purchased more than 100 gifts to fill the Boxes of Courage and donated them to Nizhny Novgorod Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2.
Book fair
NOVATEK-Chelyabinsk employees arranged a visit to the RyzhyFest book fair of the South Urals for sponsored children from Boarding School No. 13.
The children came to the V. Mayakovsky Children’s Library, one of the festival sites, to learn about recent children’s literature offerings, take part in a quiz about Pushkin’s fairy tales, and attend a presentation of Tommy the Penguin Goes Home, a book about Antarctica.
Green Marathon
NOVATEK-Yurkharovneftegaz employees took part in the Green Marathon, a large-scale charitable sports festival. The event is traditionally held on Children’s Day all across Russia to raise awareness about the difficulties of inclusive education for children with special needs.
