In 2024, a memorandum of cooperation once again established partnership obligations between Metinvest's Northern and Central GOK, Gleiuvatka Village Council and NGO "Kryvyi Rih Foundation For The Future". One of the main vectors of work this year was to improve the condition of roads between the community's settlements. The poor condition of the asphalt road surface in rural areas or its complete absence is a major problem for many Ukrainian communities. The same situation has arisen in the Gleiuvatka community, where a 4,000 m² section of the road between the Novoivanivka and Nedaivoda villages was in urgent need of repair. This urgent issue was resolved through close cooperation between the community and Metinvest's enterprises under a memorandum signed this year. Under the coordination of NGO "Kryvyi Rih Foundation For The Future," patching and continuous laying of asphalt-concrete mix were carried out on the designated section of the road in a short time."It was very important for

The team at Kametstal’s gas rescue station is a highly skilled group that risks their lives daily to ensure the safety of others. The company’s management understands the importance of their work and is committed to providing them with safe and comfortable working conditions. Recently, two drying cabinets were delivered to the gas rescue station, allowing for quick and efficient drying of gas protection equipment after hazardous gas-related tasks.Gas protection equipment, a crucial element of the safety system, requires proper maintenance and storage. In the past, gas rescue station employees had to air-dry the breathing apparatuses outdoors after cleaning, which exposed them to dust and extended the drying process.The new cabinets can dry the equipment in just 30 minutes. An added benefit of the cabinets is the ultraviolet lamps, which disinfect the surfaces of the breathing systems. Each cabinet can hold up to five units of gas protection equipment. On average, the rescue team uses
