Social
responsibility

In its operations, Cherkizovo Group adheres to the principles of environmental and industrial safety, seeks to mitigate relevant risks and lead the industry.

We strictly comply with all statutory health, safety and environment requirements and make sure that our safety procedures are in line with the best international practices.

The life and health of employees is our priority, so we seek to prevent emergencies, accidents, and injuries. Cherkizovo Group joined the Vision Zero campaign sponsored by the International Social Security Association (ISSA) with a relevant certificate issued to the Company.

The Vision Zero concept requires us to take steps to prevent occupational injuries, diseases, and workplace accidents.

In line with its declared values, the Group continuously improves its occupational health and safety system and cultivates the safety culture at all of its production facilities.

We implement numerous initiatives aimed at improving industrial safety and reducing injuries. To mitigate risks, including human-related risks, the Company assesses equipment, buildings and structures at its production sites and procures to repair, upgrade and automate its operations.

Our priority in human resources management is continuous development of our employees, which enhances their professionalism and improves productivity. Our training programs cover all employee categories and include trainings, workshops, and master classes.

Cherkizovo Group seeks to raise the profile of the agricultural sector among students and graduates and to ensure a continuous supply of young talent.

To this end, the Group works closely with educational institutions, and our dedicated Center for Student Programs and Youth Initiatives runs various youth activities.
