The award ceremony for the winners of the annual competitive selection of the Program "The Best Social Projects of Russia" will take place on September 29. The laureates of the Program will be companies and organizations that have achieved the most significant results in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR), charity and social entrepreneurship.

Modern social entrepreneurs in Russia are actively implementing innovative approaches, combining economic efficiency with social benefits. Their projects cover the most relevant areas - from supporting vulnerable groups of the population to introducing "green" technologies and developing an inclusive environment. This synthesis of business and social mission not only changes the lives of specific people, but also determines the vector of development of the business community, inspiring other companies to transform. That is why the Program creates an effective environment for the exchange of experience between leaders of responsible business, which allows making corporate social responsibility a key factor in the development of the economy of the future.

The winners will be determined in more than twenty different categories, including: "Education and Science", "Support for Gifted Children and Youth", "Projects to Support Socially Unprotected Segments of the Population", "Social Marketing", "Charity", "Corporate Projects", "Medical and Social Projects".

"Today, it is more important than ever to create conditions for the development of social initiatives. The social sphere is developing rapidly: approaches that were relevant yesterday already require rethinking. Our Program helps to identify truly working practices and give them the opportunity to scale," commented Alena Pylnova, Executive Director of the Program.

The best social practices of last year clearly demonstrated that Russian business is increasingly considering social investments as a strategic priority. Among the laureate companies that have made a significant contribution to stimulating and promoting the ideas of socially responsible business, there are large representatives of various business sectors: from retail trade and banking to energy and oil and gas industry.
