OREANDA-NEWS. The national environmental campaign Let’s Make Ukraine Clean! 2013 acknowledged its partners during the award ceremony held on 21 May. The campaign that took place on 20 April brought together almost 18,000 employees of SCM Group in 73 Ukrainian cities, including 8,600 employees of DTEK, the energy holding of the Group. SCM and DTEK received the Partner Award.

“Actions speak louder than words. Our Group’s contribution to the ultimate result of the national campaign is 16% of all participants and around 100 kg of rubbish collected by each SCM employee. These figures mean much more that the gathered rubbish. They mean the wish and readiness of thousands of our employees to improve life in their cities. We proved that the corporate volunteering within the Group would find many followers and become an integral part of SCM’s life,” noted Natalia Yemchenko, SCM’s Director of Public Relations and Communications.

DTEK joined the campaign as the national partner and suggested supporting the move. Metinvest, Mining Machines, ESTA Holding, Parallel-M LTD, Portinvest, UMG and SCM management company backed the initiative.
