Throughout the month, Rosneft employees organised a series of social and environmental initiatives as part of the Platform for Good Deeds corporate volunteering programme.

Rosneft is a leader in corporate volunteering thanks to its development of the programme. This large-scale Company’s initiative has been running for over four years. In 2025 alone, over 1,700 events were held as part of the programme, involving 108,000 employees.

Ahead of Victory Day, volunteers from the Vostsibneftegaz are helping the Krasnoyarsk Victory Memorial digitise archives from the Great Patriotic War. Oil workers have been given access to handwritten documents that need to be transcribed and transferred to electronic databases. These include personal letters and documents, diaries, press cuttings, and other artefacts belonging to soldiers. The volunteers will also be searching for information about the soldiers.

Employees of Vostsibneftegaz and Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz also took part in a large-scale community workday to tidy up the burial sites of Great Patriotic War veterans and 19th- and 20th-century monuments.

Samotlorneftegaz staff organised masterclasses in decorative and applied arts, as well as a creative event called ‘Musical Bingo’, for war and labour veterans and pensioners in Nizhnevartovsk. Sevkomneftegaz volunteers organised a themed meeting called ‘Connecting Generations’, which involved students from the Movement of the Firsts and elderly residents of the Harmony social assistance centre.

Staff from the Angarsk Petrochemical Company and the Angarsk Polymer Plant prepared food parcels for former child prisoners of Nazi concentration camps who now live in Angarsk.

Volunteers from RN-Krasnodarneftegaz organised a community clean-up day at the Krasnodar care home. The volunteers cleared the grounds and participants in the Energy of Talents corporate creative festival performed a concert for the residents. Additionally, company employees cleaned the graves of Great Patriotic War veterans at the Vsesvyatsky Memorial Cemetery in Krasnodar.

Krasnodar oil workers also provided assistance to elderly and low-income individuals in the Akhtyrsky urban-type settlement. At the request of pensioners, they cleared fallen leaves from several properties, cut down dead wood, and painted fences.

Meanwhile, volunteers from Tyumenneftegaz put together food hampers and prepared a year’s supply of household cleaning products. These were handed over to large families supported by the Tyumen-based charity, the Special Child. The volunteers also helped to tidy up the grounds of one of the families’ homes in Tyumen.

Volunteers from the Tomsk Design Institute donated educational games, arts and crafts kits, toys, food and children’s hygiene products to the Blagovest Charitable Foundation. These items are intended for participants in the Hospital Children programme, which supports young children in hospital who have been left without adult support for various reasons. The Institute is a long-standing partner of the foundation, and several times a year the Company’s volunteers organise charity collections for its beneficiaries. They then sort, pack and deliver the items the children need.

Volunteers from Kharampurneftegaz organised training courses in high-demand professions for children’s home graduates: pet grooming — the art of caring for animals — and welding — a serious trade with excellent career prospects. The young participants gained practical skills to help them make an informed choice about their future career.

As part of Spring Care Month this year, a large-scale campaign called ‘Spring for Our Furry Friends’ was held. Teams from the Angarsk Polymer Plant, the Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery, the Komsomolsk Refinery, Samotlorneftegaz, Ulyanovsknefteprodukt and RN-Tuapse Terminal collected over 900 kg of food, household items and medicines, which they donated to shelters and organisations that help homeless animals.

Volunteers from Samotlorneftegaz, together with activists from the Burunduchok school forestry group, made 20 bird feeders and hung them in parks across Nizhnevartovsk.

2026 has been declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples in Russia. Volunteer initiatives are a significant tool for strengthening inter-ethnic harmony and mutual understanding among the more than 190 ethnic groups in our country. Employees of the Komsomolsk Oil Refinery held an Earth Festival called ‘Na Anyani’ in the Nanai settlement of Verkhnyaya Ekon. Visitors from Komsomolsk-on-Amur and the settlement enjoyed an ethnographic museum, an exhibition and fair of decorative and applied arts, and masterclasses on making traditional souvenirs.

Volunteers from Orenburgneft helped with the spring clean-up of gardens belonging to elderly veterans living alone in Buzuluk. They also sorted and sent 30 kg of plastic bottle caps for recycling. Additionally, they delivered a presentation to young people from the Movement of the Firsts on the importance of recycling and environmental stewardship.

Environmentalists from the Novokuybyshevsk Refinery held an educational event for pupils at Yegorov Boarding School. Through games, they introduced the children to waste separation and planting. The environment team also held a workshop at the city health centre on creating colourful artistic panels from textiles and unwanted clothing, which were used to decorate the centre’s lobby.

The Novokuybyshevsk Refinery also ran a Health School project for guests at the Dubki country health resort. Anyone interested was able to receive a personal consultation from the plant’s doctors, as well as advice on healthy eating. A masterclass on preparing healthy desserts and nutritious, vitamin-rich smoothies was held at the end of the event.

The Samotlorneftegaz team took part in a charity run to support six-year-old Lyubava, who has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Enterprise staff and other caring Nizhnevartovsk residents stepped forward to help her family raise funds for her therapy. Each participant’s entry fee helped bring Lyubava’s dream of walking unaided and going to school with her peers a step closer to reality.

As part of the Spring Care Month initiative, Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha organised lectures and workshops for its staff on topics such as healthy eating and back health. The speakers were guest volunteers, including nutritionists, physiotherapy instructors and a reflexologist.
