SCM’s development strategy is based on
two equally important aims: building a prosperous and profitable business and
to be a responsible corporate citizen. SCM is one of the largest Ukrainian
companies with over 160 thousand employees. We understand the scale of our
influence upon the social and economic development of the country and we recognise our commitments before the society.
In order to take our approaches in the
area of CSR in a clearly structured way and to focus efforts of SCM Group on
solution of the most pressing social problems five key areas of corporate social
responsibility have been specified by the Group. On the basis of the SCM’s
visions for each of the five areasa number of principles have been developed, which shape
our policy and action. All businesses of SCM Group operating in different
sectors (steel industry and energy sector, finance and telecommunications,
media and real estate, etc.) follow the common policy containing key principles
and approaches have been developed. According to the provisions of the policies
the companies of SCM Group carry out their CSR projects and programmes
maintaining the status of a responsible corporate citizen.
