After returning from the war, veteran Serhiy Martynenko works at the RTD of the Northern Iron Ore as an assistant traction unit driver. At the same time, he is studying to be a traction unit driver, trying himself in engineering management positions, and also receiving higher education online at Metinvest Polytechnic.The war dramatically changed the life path of Serhiy Martynenko: the man began to think more about his prospects and, using the advice of a psychologist, focused after demobilization on himself and his own development."I am 51 years old – and I am now a student. I don't know if the war had an impact on it or something else. But at some point, I wanted something more. I wanted to develop myself as a specialist... Expand the boundaries of my worldview... When I came back from the war, I was offered a position of a specialist in railway equipment, because I have experience working on the railway. I want my work to bring a significant result, so that, without pathos, the shop

About a veteran reintegration system, overcoming staff shortages, and factors for creating a team of specialists who will participate in the post-war reconstruction of the country were discussed by Metinvest's representative Zoia Heintse during the "Personnel Decide: New Architecture of Economic Recovery" conference held in Kyiv.The conference was dedicated to the role of human capital in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. The participants discussed strategic planning of the labour market, youth engagement, veteran reintegration, and cooperation between business, educational institutions, and the state. The event brought together government representatives, international organisations, large companies, and educational institutions.

Every quarter, we work out the regulations for coordinated interaction between employees of structural units and emergency rescue services of the enterprise in order to effectively counter threats in wartime. Kamet Steel held another comprehensive training on military risk management, this time under the conditions of the combined heat and power plant.An emergency event due to hostilities at a key energy facility of an enterprise is usually associated with additional risks. In addition to the threat to human life and health and fire hazard, it is accompanied by emergencies on equipment and utilities, which lead to a forced shutdown of the main production units. It is such a conditional situation, when, due to damage to the air ducts at the plant, turbo blowers and blast furnaces are urgently shutdown, and a fire breaks out at the scene and there are injured workers, the participants worked as a team at the site of gas generators of the combined heat and power plant.Immediately after t

Wartime realities demand specific skills: the ability to provide first aid, extinguish fires, evacuate from dangerous areas, and assist others. For metallurgical workers, it is also critical to know how to properly shut down equipment and utilities to localise consequences.To ensure employees are well-prepared to act in emergency situations, Zaporizhstal is conducting a series of comprehensive emergency response training sessions. The latest session was held in the blast furnace shop.According to the scenario, the workers were trained on how to eliminate the consequences of a hostile attack. According to the legend, shop equipment was damaged, some workers were injured, a fire had broken out, and a suspicious item was discovered.Participants practiced an algorithm of actions: shuting down the blast furnace, evacuating personnel, first aid for the wounded, extinguishing the fire, coordinating with emergency services, the enterprise despatch centre, and the emergency management office.

Reliable operation of Zaporizhstal's electrical networks during wartime, quality and efficient maintenance of high-voltage equipment, prompt and precise actions in any emergency situations. These are the daily tasks of the Networks and Substations Shop (NSS) to ensure stable operation of the entire enterprise. The shop’s team approaches these tasks with professionalism and responsibility.Amid the full-scale war, the shop bears significant responsibility. Attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have a direct impact on the subdivision's operations and, as a result, on the enterprise as a whole.“We record unstable voltage levels almost every day. In order to prevent such power drops from having a destructive impact on the enterprise's equipment, we constantly seek and implement new approaches in our work. We understand the significance of stable energy supply and how it affects individual sections and the enterprise as a whole," notes Vyacheslav ILCHENKO, Head of the Networks and Subs

Recently, at Northern GOK, an insight session took place for youth unions from Integrated GOK and Metinvest Business Service. This was the first meeting held with such an expanded group of participants. The active youth exchanged experiences and revised priorities for the future work of the youth hubs.Northern GOK served as the venue for this meeting. Guests visited the enterprise's museum, toured the production facilities, and went to the observation site at the Pershotravnevyi open-pit mine. The insight session was held in the quest room at Northern GOK.The main focus of the meeting was the impact of the war on the activities of youth hubs: participants discussed how to create a safe, accessible space under current conditions, and also considered which initiatives should be added to the youth unions' work.It is worth noting that since the beginning of the full-scale war, the youth unions of Metinvest enterprises in Kryvyi Rih have focused on volunteering, organising and operating hu

As tradition before the Constitution Day, Zaporizhzhia held solemn events. This year, it was decided to celebrate this day in a new format ‒ by honouring the memory of the Defenders who died protecting independence and territorial integrity of our country.Zaporizhzhia residents gathered next to a new "Tree of Memory" memorial, installed in honour of the fallen Heroes of Ukraine.It is worth noting that the "Tree of Memory" memorial was opened in Metallurgists' Park in October 2024, as part of the "GOGOLFEST POKROVE" international festival of modern art with support from Metinvest. Instead of conventional leaves, the steel "branches" of the tree have pipe bells. They create a bell-ringing melody and symbolise the echo of the fallen Heroes' voices. The tree is a symbol of the struggle and resilience of Ukrainians in their desire for freedom.On the occasion of the Constitution Day, 80 families of the fallen Heroes were invited. The event also brought together the Deputy Head of Zaporizhzh
