Support of industry and social initiatives

The Group’s companies support and actively participate in various industry initiatives to establish the view-sharing platforms for key industry stakeholders to initiate dialogue and discuss the latest developments and future prospects of the freight rail transportation market in Russia. For instance, in 2009 New Forwarding Company became a partner of the international forum “RZD on the transport market: cooperation and partnership” and international transport forum “Transport of Russia: the establishment, development and the prospects”.

In keeping with its emphasis on contributing to social wellbeing, our Group companies support various social initiatives for cultural and public entertainment events and the promotion of a healthy way of life.

Charity

We actively participate in philanthropic activities. Our Group companies have supported and assisted orphanages in various regions of Russia for many years. We also provide regular support to pre-school educational institutions for underprivileged children and actively participate in various social and medical rehabilitation programmes. In 2009 New Forwarding Company joined the initiative “Charity instead of gifts” whereby funds intended to be spent on corporate gifts, are instead used to help the most vulnerable sections of society.
