SIBUR Employees Help Fulfill New Year’s Wishes of More Than 2,600 Children

26 december 2025

December 1, 2025, saw the launch of SIBUR’s annual company-wide Get to Be a Santa Claus! campaign implemented as part of the Formula for Good Deeds social investment program. The initiative’s thrust is to help fulfill New Year season's wishes of children and adults facing adversity in their lives. The 2025 campaign marked the thirteenth installment of the program, helping to once again rally the company’s employees around the idea of targeted aid and personal involvement.

This year’s initiative was supported by more than 2,400 employees of SIBUR and the Petrochemical Transport Company. At some of the facilities, the campaign was conducted with the active involvement of their local union branches and youth councils. The campaign was joined by employees based in 22 of SIBUR’s cities of presence including Balakhna, Blagoveshchensk (Republic of Bashkortostan), Voronezh, Dzerzhinsk, Zheleznodorozhny, Kazan, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Moscow, Nizhnevartovsk, Nizhnekamsk, Noyabrsk, Nyagan, Perm, Pyt-Yakh, Svobodny, Surgut, Tver, Tobolsk, Tomsk, Tyumen, and Ust-Luga.

The participants of this annual campaign helped fulfill the wishes of the charges of social welfare institutions by bringing them gifts and organizing festive celebrations and creative sessions. In total, more than 2,600 children received New Year's gifts throughout the campaign’s duration.

A significant focus of the campaign has been on providing continuous support to the company’s regional social partners. For example, in keeping with a longstanding and kind tradition, employees of Novye Resursy in Krasnodar helped the City Administration's Department for Family and Children Affairs fulfill the New Year's wishes of children facing adversity in their lives. Each child had written a letter to Father Christmas, and the company's employees took on the role of magicians, helping make the children's dreams come true.

In Nizhnekamsk, Nizhnekamskneftekhim’s volunteers met with 50 children in person to learn about their most coveted dreams and wishes. As always, the wishes written on post cards were placed on a New Year's tree, so that employees could select one of the cards and fulfill the children's requests. As before, there was an additional campaign to collect food items and raise money to set up the New Year's feast for the children of the Nizhnekamsk orphanage. The children then cooked their dishes for the feast by shaping and freezing dumplings, making salads, to celebrate the New Year in a home-style manner.

Employees of the Krasnoyarsk Synthetic Rubber Plant took part in preparing and holding New Year's matinees for 330 wards of the region’s Podsolnukh Psychoneurological Children's Home. The children were treated to sweet gifts, board games, puzzles, coloring books, and toys, and a creative master class on tote bag painting.

In addition, SIBUR’s volunteers organized New Year's theatrical performances for children in difficult situation living in Blagoveshchensk (Republic of Bashkortostan), Perm, Surgut, Tver, and Tomsk. Employees of POLIEF, Sibur-Khimprom, Zapsibtransgas, Sibur-PETF, and Tomskneftekhim tried their hand at acting as scriptwriters and actors, bringing these children great emotions and the atmosphere of a true fairy tale.

Elena Snezhko, Head of SIBUR's Formula for Good Deeds social investment program:
“The Get to Be a Santa Claus! campaign is not just about collecting New Year's gifts; it's a living story about one’s personal involvement and sincere desire to help other. Year after year, SIBUR’s employees have been showing that corporate volunteering means people willing to share their warmth, time, and attention. It is initiatives such as these that help foster lasting social change and create a culture of care in the company's regions presence.”

Anna Nikulicheva, a manager with the Petrochemical Transportation Company
«The suggestion to take part in the Get to Be a Santa Claus! campaign found a warm and genuine response in the hearts of our employees. Everyone who joined it got to feel themselves, even if for a brief moment, as magicians helping to fulfill the dreams of children who need this so much. Our team is a community of people with kind hearts, who value kindness, mutual support, and compassion as much as they do reaching their professional targets. As long as we are able to share wonder with the others, the feeling of wonder keeps on living within us, drawing us together and nearly making each of us something of a miracle worker”.

The team of the Rostok Regional Center for Assisting Children:
“It was a genuine and magical fairy tale bringing together different epochs and our favorite characters — from classic works of literature to the most modern ones. And as in any good fairy tale, the most important thing remained unchanged: good triumphed over evil. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank the amateur actors from the close-knit team of Tomskneftekhim for the sincere emotions, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful gifts they brought our children.”

Lyubov Chebanu, Leading Specialist for Corporate Communications at Neftekhimiya:
“On the New Year’s eve, magic lives in everyone's heart. And it is especially important to share this magic with those who need it the most. Every gift, whether it is a building set, a tracksuit, or a soft toy, is seen by children as a confirmation that their wishes are important and that they were heard. We have been fulfilling the wishes of the children cared for by the Raduga center for supporting family upbringing for several years now, and our colleagues always actively respond to our calls, trying to create a true New Year's fairy tale for the children, a fairy tale filled with kindness and care.”

Marina Buchman, Manager at SIBUR:
“For the fourth year running, employees of the Amur GCC have been helping fulfill the coveted wishes of children on the New Year’s eve. It was very heartwarming to observe our corporate volunteers select the gifts, wrap them up, and sign post cards with so much warmth in their kind hearts and souls. This meant real magic for the children. And as for us, this is an important and inspiring experience.”

The team of SIBUR's Formula for Good Deeds social investment program would like to express its sincere gratitude to all the participants who took part in the annual company-wide Get to be a Santa Claus! campaign in 2025. Thanks to your compassion, initiative, and personal involvement, the New Year's miracle became a reality for thousands of children and adults living in the company's regions of presence. We wish all SIBUR employees the best of health, well-being, professional success, and inspiration for new kind deeds in the coming year. May the warmth that you share with others come back to you a hundredfold, and may belief in miracles and the power of collective efforts accompany you throughout the whole year!
