Metinvest's Central Iron Ore mining and Processing Plant (Central GOK), Non-Governmental Organization "Kryvyi Rih Foundation for the Future" and Petrivka Village Council signed a memorandum of cooperation.

Near Irpin, the construction of Ukraine's first residential house printed using the country's first construction 3D printer by 3D UTU has been completed. This house now serves as the new home for the Berezovy family, who lost their home and father due to the war. The project was realized thanks to the "United for Help" initiative by the Hold the Nation Foundation. Metinvest Group contributed to the project by providing over 20 tons of steel products free of charge from Metinvest-SMC’s distribution warehouses, which formed the core structure of the house including its base, walls, and ceiling. In 2022, the Berezov family suffered a double tragedy – Yaroslav Berezov, the head of the family, was killed in the battles near Bakhmut, and their house was destroyed by Russian forces during the occupation of Irpin. “The new house for the Berezov family was built on the site of the one destroyed by the enemy. It’s more than just a building. It’s a symbol of hope for a new life, which this famil

Війна несе за собою не лише фізичні рани, але й глибокі душевні травми тим, чиїх рідних і коханих забрала смерть на полі бою. Для жінок, які втратили своїх синів і чоловіків, шлях до психологічного одужання особливо складний і довготривалий. Саме тому так важливо підтримати їх і дати шанс відшукати нові сили жити далі. Для матерів, дружин та дітей загиблих воїнів – працівників Каметсталі такою підтримкою стала програма психологічної реабілітації «Незламна мама» від «Фонду Маша», до якої долучилася гуманітарна ініціатива Групи Метінвест «Рятуємо життя». Днями жінки повернулися у рідне Кам’янське з мальовничого Прикарпаття, де вони проходили реабілітацію у санаторії «Моршинський».Природа тамтешньої місцевості милувала око, а емоційним станом жінок опікувалися досвідчені психологи. Щоб повернути спокій у їхні душі, проводилися щоденні психологічні заняття – колективні та індивідуальні консультації. Важливу роль у реабілітаційному процесі кожної відігравало і спілкування з іншими жінками,
