Being successful in business and being a responsible corporate citizen are complementary rather than competing objectives and lie at the core of SCM’s business strategy. As one of Ukraine’s largest businesses, we recognise our role and impact on the country’s economic and social and development and our responsibilities to employees, their families, business partners and the communities where we operate.

Significant contribution to the social development of Ukraine is made by all the companies and organisations of SCM Group: the Groups managing company System Capital Management, the industrial holdings and assets of the Group, information and analytical centre BEST. One of the key contributors here is the Corporate Foundation for Development of Ukraine which was established for systemic implementation of the policy of SCM Group in the area of corporate social responsibility.
