1 june 2021

SIBUR has stopped accepting applications for contests of employees’ and students’ volunteering projects conducted as part of the Formula for Good Deeds, the company’s social investment program. Contestants have submitted a total of more than 90 contest entries representing volunteering projects in 25 Russian cities. A dedicated contests’ committee has started processing and evaluating these applications.

SIBUR’s employees have submitted more than 50 entries designed to help address a variety of environmental issues and improve natural and public spaces. This marks the first time that their colleagues from Pyt-Yakh (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug) are taking part in this grant contest of volunteering projects . In terms of the number of submitted entries, for the second year running, leading the pack are employees of POLIEF (Republic of Bashkortostan) with 11 entries, closely followed by their colleagues from Tomskneftekhim (Tomsk) with 10 entries.

About 40 entries were submitted to the contest of students’ volunteering projects. The highest number of entries came from students of Voronezh State Engineering Technologies University, a total of 10.

The students intend to use the grants for setting up career guidance classes for orphans at group homes, providing at-home assistance to elderly people, holding developmental training sessions for young families, beautifying public spaces for further use by students for their extracurricular activities, restoring old wooden houses, running campaigns in support of the donorship movement, creating an outdoor chemistry museum, conducting educational and offsite campaigns designed to help stray animals, and carrying out other types of socially important activities.

Contest submissions will be evaluated by experts representing SIBUR, regional non-profit organizations, and the Formula for Good Deeds program.

The names of the contests’ winners will be published by June 30 on the website of the Formula for Good Deeds program in the News section at https://www.formula-hd.ru/news/.

The funding for the supported projects will be released by July 1, 2021.
