UrBC, Yekaterinburg, June 8, 2016. Lepse (a member enterprise of Ural Vagon Zavod Corporation) proved Kirov Region’s best insurance company in 2015, the company press service reports.

The Insurer of The Year certificate was given to the company Director-General Gennady Mamayev by head of Russia’s Pension Fund Kirov division Nikolai Pasynkov.

The pension fund’s contest winner was selected on the basis of two primary criteria: the fact that the pension insurance fees got paid in time and in full and the fact that all the necessary papers were provided in full and in perfect order.

‘The idea is to increase the public’s awareness of the fact that a socially responsible business always takes care of its employees, which guarantees stable pension payments for the retired workers and absolute respect the current employees’ labor rights,’ the press service says.
