Social Policy

The Ural Gas and Fire Fighting Equipment Factory (UZGPO LLC) is an enterprise of new formation, socially oriented, with a responsible attitude to people and the environment. Interacting with the state and municipal authorities, communities and business organizations, the factory management actively supports a number of initiatives that are socially important for the region.

Priority areas include ecology and the environment, education and sports, support for young people, local communities, combat veterans and border troops veterans and improvement of urban infrastructure.

In just five years, the factory has implemented over 35 social partnership projects in the cities where it operates, Degtyarsk and Yekaterinburg. The main goal is to achieve a positive change in people's attitudes and worldview and to work together to stimulate sustainable development in the region.

Ecology and Improvement

Paying close attention to environmental issues, the UZGPO team annually participates in the All-Russian Environmental Neighbourhood Clean-Up "Green Spring", contributing to the improvement of the city and attracting the attention of young people to eco-volunteering. We want to see our city clean, cozy and comfortable for life, therefore, by joining a large-scale environmental project we plant trees, arrange city parks, children's playgrounds and sports fields.

Education and Sports

For several years, the UZGPO LLC has been implementing a long-term social partnership program with the Degtyarsk Department of Education, within the framework of which it provides assistance in organizing and conducting the State Final Examination (SFE) in the educational institutions of the city, contributing to the expansion of educational opportunities and introduction of advanced teaching methods.

Taking an active part in solving socially significant tasks, the enterprise regularly allocates funds to support a healthy lifestyle and the formation of a sports environment in the region. Since 2018, having picked up on the national idea of reviving backyard sports, the factory has been supporting the children's hockey club "Luch", located in one of the districts of Yekaterinburg, and has sent financial assistance to the children's sports team.

Heroes and Deeds

An important part of the UZGPO's corporate social responsibility is the support of local public veteran organizations, which contribute to the patriotic education of the younger generation, the preservation of historical memory and the formation of an active lifestyle.

For example, in 2016-2018, the factory assisted in organizing and holding ceremonial, memorable and sports events in Degtyarsk: 4 stages of the Ural Federal District Motocross Cup, dedicated to the 86th anniversary of the Airborne Forces, and also supported the initiative of the city organization "Frontier Guard" in connection with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Russian State Border Service.

Noble Purposes

A strong social orientation not only permeates the UZGPO's professional activities aimed at developing a culture of industrial safety, but also extends to the factory's corporate programs in the field of charity. By actively participating in targeted social projects, the factory assumes additional obligations in order to systematically and effectively influence the development of the region.

Active social work of the enterprise does not go unnoticed, which is confirmed by dozens of letters of thanks and diplomas from the city government, the management of regional public organizations and representatives of sports. Constructive cooperation with the state and society in solving social and economic problems was noted by the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region Yevgeny Kuyvashev in his government telegram.
