People Changing the World, SIBUR’s corporate volunteering program, is an important component of SIBUR's strategy towards building vibrant urban communities that draw together the company, its employees, and all residents of cities where SIBUR operates, from St. Petersburg to Svobodny in Amur Oblast, and Vienna, Istanbul and Shanghai..
Since 2020, the Formula for Good Deeds has been appointing its volunteer ambassadors — who spearhead positive changes in the regions where the company conducts its operations. This year, SIBUR chose as ambassadors several active participants of the corporate volunteering program representing Voronezh, Krasnodar, Nizhnevartovsk, Perm, and Tobolsk. By virtue of being the program’s ambassadors, these leaders enjoy a number of additional opportunities and advantages, including the opportunity to implement their own volunteering initiatives, develop their personal expertise in social planning, participate in federal-level events on this topic, and meet experts in the field of charity and corporate volunteering.
«Participation in the volunteering program offers our employees an opportunity to become active contributors to bringing about positive change in their home cities. We implement charitable campaigns, support our colleagues’ bespoke volunteering initiatives, help out with undertaking city-wide activities, and are always excited to welcome new heroes to our ranks!»
