War veterans Oleksandr Marushchyk from InGOK and Ivan Pravdyn from Metinvest Sichstal underwent a three-day rehabilitation and psychosocial support programme with experts of the Israeli Trauma Coalition at the ULIS countryside complex in Kyiv region. Non-governmental organization DOLADU was a partner of the programme.Veterans of the current full-scale war are mostly young people who had to leave their peaceful jobs and take up arms because of the military aggression. Each of them now has gone through their own difficult experiences and personal tragedies. Demobilised for health reasons, age or family circumstances, they are now learning to live a civilian life again. Most of them need specialised help to fully recover.The organisers of the DoLadu mental health lab rehabilitation programme joined in to tackle this issue. They invited veterans from different regions of Ukraine to take part in a pilot course. Two Metinvest colleagues from Krivyi Rih were among the first participants. Bef

Metinvest Group, together with DTEK Academy, has developed and implemented a unique learning course for employees to help war veterans adapt to civilian life – Heroes Among Us. The first wave of the programme will cover 1,200 managers of the company's enterprises in the regions where the company operates.Almost 400 employees have already returned to work at Metinvest after demobilisation, and the number of war veterans at our enterprises will grow over time. They strengthen the teams, in particular, thanks to the skills they acquired during the defence of Ukraine: leadership, teamwork, result orientation, cohesiveness and mutual assistance. However, the heroes need time and support to recover from their experiences at the front, rejoin the work teams and help Ukraine on the labour front. Metinvest is committed to support them along this way.Work teams, which war veterans join, play an important role in their successful adaptation. At the same time, maximum involvement in this process r

Despite the full-scale war in Ukraine, Metinvest Group's assets in Kryvyi Rih remain a reliable pillar of the Ukrainian economy. Over the 12 months of last year, they paid UAH 4.6 billion in taxes and fees to the budgets of all levels.Northern, Central, Ingulets, and Yuzhnyi Iron Ore Enrichment Plants are among the largest taxpayers. The main source of budget revenues was the subsoil use tax, which amounted to just over UAH 2 billion. The treasury also received the unified social tax totalling almost UAH 953 million. The second largest revenue source was the personal income tax, which amounted UAH 837 million. These funds are needed to pay salaries to employees of Kryvyi Rih's utility companies, provide hospitals with the necessary equipment and medicines, and support the city. Environmental tax and land fees also contributed to the state and local budgets.In addition, Metinvest remains one of the best and most responsible employers in Ukraine. The enterprises continue to help Kryvyi

A roundtable discussion was held in Kryvyi Rih on the reintegration of veterans with a focus on HSE. It was attended by leading HSE specialists, heads of HR departments, and heads of structural units at Metinvest's Kryvyi Rih enterprises, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih and Ferrexpo Poltava Mining. The event was organised by Ingulets GOK.More than 3,000 employees of Metinvest's Kryvyi Rih GOKs have joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war. Veterans who have been demobilised from the army are gradually returning to their enterprises. However, the extremely stressful conditions they were in affected their mental health and perceptions of safety. Today, the task of every responsible employer is to create the proper conditions for the adaptation and socialisation of all those who are currently defending the country and will return to work tomorrow."Today, Ukrainian industrial enterprises operating under full-scale war conditions acutely feel the consequences of mi

There are many large families working at Metinvest Central GOK, in which representatives of several generations remain loyal to the enterprise for many years. One of them is the Dobrovolski family, whose total work experience is 76 years. The family represents three generations and four employees of CGOK.Nina Dobrovolska is a 38-year experienced founder of a labour dynasty. In 1971, she began working as a storekeeper in the material storage and distribution workshop of Central GOK. At that time, she had no idea that soon she would start a new family history. Nina witnessed an interesting period of the enterprise’s operation: CGOK had just got out of crisis and was gaining momentum in production volumes.“The plant is my whole life and the only entry in my employment record book. For me, the history of CGOK is, in fact, the history of my family. I am proud that it is part of such a powerful, cutting-edge enterprise. The plant is not only production facilities, but also work personnel. O

Since the first days of the full-scale invasion, Yevhen has been defending Ukraine.One can often hear incredible love stories at Zaporizhstal. It is true that such strong families, like steel, are started here. Here, for example, Yevhen and Oleksandra are a couple from Zaporizhstal, who found each other in the hot-rolling shop, where their story began.Currently, the couple, like every Ukrainian, are also facing the challenges of a full-scale war. From the very first day of the invasion, the man joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And while Yevgen defends the state on the military front, Oleksandra helps the country survive on the economic front."I came to the plant while still studying, for an internship, and stayed in Zaporizhstal because I knew that there I could implement all my professional ambitions. I love my job very much; it was a conscious choice of both profession and place of work. And it was here that I met my love. We met right in the workshop, where I worked

Zaporizhstal is a place for development, training, and career growth.Over the years, the enterprise has become the first and only place of employment for thousands of steelworkers. The children and grandchildren of many of them followed the older generation and continued the labour dynasties that Zaporizhstal is proud of. Experts also choose Zaporizhstal, even if they are experienced in a different speciality. After all, mentoring and support for "newcomers" is another tradition of a large team. Everyone here remembers the time when they first came to an unfamiliar enterprise and got used to the new place, and today they introduce "new recruits" to the profession as an experienced mentor.This is what happened to Andrii KYLYMYCHENKO. The man has been mastering a new speciality as a rolling mill operator in the hot rolling shop since last September. And will work under the guidance of a mentor until he is confident to do the work on his own.– I am 42 years old and have been working as a
