News from projects and regions
In the beginning of July, the Administration and the Council of Young Professionals of Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta assessed the outcome of the company’s participation in the #WeAreTogether campaign, where 85 volunteers from the company took part in the nationwide charity event aimed at supporting persons with limited mobility, people staying in mandatory quarantine under instructions from supervisory bodies, and the elderly, amid the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
Employees in all regions of the company’s production activities joined the campaign. Applications for participation were received via the company’s hotline.
Having received the required guidance, the participants in the campaign provided help in compliance with the norms for the prevention of COVID-19. The volunteers delivered food, medications, and various essentials, purchased and presented charity food packages, provided emotional support, and gave information about the anti-coronavirus safety measures to be taken. From April 2020, 612 applications were processed and 439 people received the required help.
“Participation in the campaign is a personal and conscious choice for every individual. When we announced that a staff of volunteers was being created in all branches of the company, we received feedback very soon,” said Stanislav Galkin, Chairman of the Council of Young Professionals of Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta.
