UrBC, Yekaterinburg, August 10, 2016. Over six hundred children of ChTPZ Group’s employees are going to get gift certificates to buy school supplies this year; more than 1.5m RUR have been directed to the purpose, the company press service reports.

‘Helping these kids get ready for school is a regular thing to do for the company, as are the annual theatre festival, children’s entertainment projects, and summer job opportunities. We also support sports and promote a healthy lifestyle. These are our investments in the future, we want children to grow up happy and healthy and their parents to be proud of working at our company,’ says company shareholder and Chair of the BOD Alexander Fedorov.

The gift certificate is given to either of the child’s parents working at the Group’s member enterprises and can be used to obtain school supplies at the Group’s partner stores.

The Group has been funding the employees’ children’s school supplies since 2008 (and since 2014 for its member enterprise Rimera’s workers). Some 3,500 workers based in Chelyabinsk, Pervouralsk, Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Yaroslavl, Krasnoyarsk, Perm, Novokuznetsk, Magnitogorsk, Izhevsk, Almetyevsk, and smaller towns in Khanty-Mansiysky Autonomous Region, Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous Region have received gift certificates for their school-starting children so far.
