TEST
Social Responsibility
The test explains what is the responsibility of business to society. We will use Nornickel as an example to show what a company can do to improve the quality of life:
- attract young people,
- develop entrepreneurship,
- get the support of the residents and thus lay the basis for the sustainable development of the region for years ahead.
The test will tell you about 11 projects, although the company performs many more projects. In the meantime, take a 5 minute break and we will tell you what animal has become the symbol of Norilsk hockey players, what is the corporate scholarship amount, and how businesses participate in renovation.

What does Social (S) comprise in the ESG term?
The Social Responsibility principle was initially defined as a company’s communications with all stakeholders: employees, customers, and contractors. More recently, however, social policy under the ESG framework has also embraced the corporate social responsibility to the community as a whole, unlinked to the area of specific business operations.
Each company has the right to determine the scale and direction of its ESG development, priorities and initiatives, subject to the specifics, objectives and capabilities of the business. From the outset, Nornickel has had a genuinely broad understanding of its social responsibility, and assumed some degree of responsibility for all peoples living on the territories where it has operations.

A 2 x 1.2 m panel depicting owls has decorated the archway of building No. 40 on Leninsky Avenue. It took about 4,500 water and soda bottle caps, one kilogram of nails and 12 hammers to make.
