For the fourth consecutive year System

2010. The Forum is a traditional meeting venue for the global business,
political and civil society leaders. SCM is the only strategic partner of the
Forum from Ukraine.
In response to the global economic
crisis, the theme for this year’s Annual Meeting is a call to action: “Improve the State of the World: Rethink, Redesign, Rebuild”.
In the view of the organizers and
delegates, consolidating efforts of all stakeholders (governments, businesses,
academics, civil society, arts and
religious leaders) to address the important problems facing the global
community and working together to reduce potential risks and encourage social and economic development, is the
principal goal of the Forum.

Economic Forum's Annual Meeting by Oleg Popov, Chief Executive
Officer, SCM; Jock
Mendoza-Wilson, Director of International and Investor Relations,
SCM; Igor Syry, Chief Executive Officer, Metinvest Holding
(SCM's mining and metals holding) and Maksim Timchenko,
Chief Executive Officer, DTEK (SCM's energy holding).
“We have been a partner and active
participant of the World Economic Forum for four years. In fact, we've been
involved not only in the global discussion traditionally held in the end of
January here, in Davos, but also in the meetings of
industry-focused task groups taking place during the year”, said Oleg Popov, SCM's CEO. “Davos for SCM is an excellent opportunity to hear about and
discuss the leading international practices and trends in business and
economics. It gives us an opportunity to adapt and apply the best solutions in
SCM Group today, and to understand the latest global trends, policies and
thinking and helps us compete in the global markets.
