Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
Gazprom Neft's development strategy is based on the idea that efficient and sustainable business development goes hand in hand with the competitive power of the national economy, social well-being, and conservation of natural resources.
JCS Gazprom Neft's priorities include the following:
- To improve the quality of life and develop employee potential
- Industrial and occupational safety
- Sustainable use of natural resources
- Mitigation of environmental risks
- Promotion of social development in regions where the Company operates.
Gazprom Neft is currently developing a corporate responsibility programme in line with international standards. In 2007 the Company approved a Charity Policy which sets forth a number of strategic social initiatives for the next few years, including the Children and Youth Support programme, Regional Cooperation, and Support of Sports.
In 2008 Gazprom Neft established a Charity Commission.. As a result, the Company was able to cut down on indirect financing through charitable organisations and funds while increasing funding to its own social action programmes for orphanages, schools and boarding schools, cultural institutions as well as the administrations of the districts, cities and regions where the Company operates.
