Azot Develops Social Infrastructure of Cherkasy

Dmitry Firtash’s Cherkasy Azot installed about fifty complexes of modern children's play and sports equipment made at the plant.

Installing sports grounds in the framework of the Preserve Your city program, which Azot has been executing in Cherkasy since 2011, the company systematically helps children's schools.
 
“Our employees not only make and install the equipment, but also provide warranty service during its operation,” said Konstantin Salenko, Social Responsibility Director of Cherkassy Azot.
 
Plant employees are confident that new sports equipment installed in the courtyards and school yards will encourage young people to lead a healthy lifestyle. To meet the needs of the citizens, the company considers request of residential homes inhabitants, kindergartens and schools, and determine the greatest need for such equipment.
 
“We were not able to upgrade equipment since 1973, and thanks to the Azot we have got nine new items. Children absolutely love the bright new modern machines”, said Galina Solokha, the Director of the Cherkasy kindergarten №59.
 
Azot, being Cherkasy city-forming enterprise, within the framework of social support programs, also systematically assists utilities in the region. So, in October of this year the plant allocated targeted support to the trolleybus regional management center. By its own expenses Azot organized production of 900 pieces of clothing for drivers, mechanics and conductors at the Cherkayelektrotrans utility.
 
“Such improving of working conditions of the utility workers would have cost at least a million hryvnia to the city budget. But thanks to the collaboration with a strong partner, we can direct these funds to more urgent needs”, said Anatoly Bondarenko, the mayor of Cherkasy.
