The Zaporizhzhia Biruchiy Art Centre Gallery at the Center for Contemporary Art has opened the exhibition “1538” by Kryvyi Rih artist Oksana Zharun.The exhibition explores how materials transform in steel-making when exposed to rising temperatures – a metaphor for the post-traumatic growth and resilience of Ukrainians. The event was held with the support of the Zaporizhzhia City Council and the Department of Culture and Tourism, in cooperation with the BIRUCHIY Contemporary Art Project international symposium and Zaporizhstal.“The exhibition is about people, but conveyed through the imagery of steel-making and metal. The components of the charge - iron ore, coke, and limestone are like different people, different identities that undergo trials and become stronger. Each time, the temperature keeps rising, from sinter to hot metal and steel, and the material becomes more resilient. So do people. There are three key stages: 1991, 2014, and 2022. These are the years of significant and dif

The first example of a new type of shelter for civilians in has been built in In Borodianka, Kyiv region, Ukraine – the “Citadel” model of underground steel bunker, created by Metinvest Group in partnership with the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine and with the support of the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories.

The Citadel is a modular steel underground shelter system that can be installed in various configurations to protect people from shelling in civilian facilities, schools and hospitals. “We at Metinvest already have significant experience in producing and deploying steel underground shelters – Kryivkas for defence lines and drone operators, underground field hospitals and command posts, all of which have proven effective in combat conditions. More than 800 such bunkers have already been built across

This year, the cooperation memorandum between the Hleiuvata village council and Metinvest’s Iron Ore includes a number of initiatives aimed at repairing educational institutions, installing a sports ground, carrying out road works, and improving water supply. One of the community’s lyceums is currently undergoing active roof reconstruction.The Chervonozabijnytskyi Lyceum is located in a settlement within the Hleiuvata territorial community. Currently, over 130 students from grades 1 to 11 are enrolled here. The educational process is presently conducted in a hybrid manner due to the safety conditions. Staff members have observed that the roof urgently required renovation.“Every five or six years, the roof starts leaking, we have to repaint the ceilings, repair everything, and of course, it causes a lot of discomfort. The building dates back to the 1970s. But despite the difficult times and the ongoing war, our partners at Metinvest found a way to provide us with a new roof and the pro

In a ranking compiled by The Page, Metinvest Group has been named among Ukraine’s ten best employers for 2025, as selected by an independent panel of HR experts.The project was conducted in two stages. First, the jury assessed detailed employer questionnaires “blindly”, without knowing the names of the companies. This approach ensured objectivity, as the evaluation was based not on brand recognition, but on the quality of HR processes and employee-care practices.Reader voting also contributed to the consolidated score and the final selection of companies in the ranking. In total, 63 companies submitted questionnaires for consideration.In its submission, Metinvest presented its ecosystem for reintegrating veterans into civilian life and work, built on the principles of responsibility at all management levels, system-based solutions and fairness. All business processes are adapted to support the return of both former employees and newly hired veterans.The ecosystem includes physical and

У Запоріжжі понад два роки працює «Опліч Хаб» – простір, де діти та дорослі можуть безкоштовно відвідувати індивідуальні психологічні консультації, заняття з арттерапії для дорослих та дітей, майстер-класи, заняття з йоги та оздоровчого фітнесу, а також заняття для підлітків, отримати підтримку та допомогу.Нещодавно в «Опліч Хабі» відбулось заняття живопису з елементами арттерапії, темою якого став пошук світла в собі – «Світло починається всередині кожного з нас». Його символом став ліхтарик, оповитий затишним зимовим пейзажем. Щоб відвідати дане заняття не обов’язково вміти малювати – це тут не головне. Кожен малює по власним силам, при цьому результат учасників живопису приємно дивує. Психологиня та арттерапевтка «Опліч Хабу» Наталя ПОПОВА розповідає: – Люди приходять з нульовою підготовкою для того, щоб спробувати себе в живопису. Я даю такі техніки, з якими людина може з першого разу намалювати власну картину. І коли людина приходить і каже: «Я ніколи не малювала», а через три го

ISO certificates for an enterprise are like diplomas in an individual's CV. They are a proof of professionalism, reliability, prestige, and a strong reputation. Metinvest Iron Ore Plants excel in this regard, because they have appropriate certificates for four key areas of work: product quality, environment, energy-efficiency, occupational safety. Even during wartime, Metinvest's companies in Kryvyi Rih follow the key provisions set out in ISO certificates and organise production processes to ensure maximum efficiency. All ISO standards have their specific marks, indicating the area of its application. The digits before the colon indicate the field of the standard (quality, environment, and so on), while the digits after it indicate the year of approval. "One of the main standards that Metinvest Iron Ore Plants work with is ISO 9001:2015. It was developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation and was adopted by more than 170 countries. This certificate guarantees that

Свою трудову діяльність молода фахівчиня Олександра Гниляк починала на одному з промислових підприємств Запоріжжя. На заводі майже все життя працювала її бабуся, тож після навчання Олександра також пішла за її прикладом.– Я вчилася взагалі на перукаря-модельєра та адміністратора в Запорізькому професійному коледжі моди і стилю. Але ще під час навчання зрозуміла, що це не моє. Працевлаштувалася на завод апаратницею хімводоочищення. Певний час мене все влаштовувало, хоча було важкувато фізично і графік досить не зручний. Потім той завод почав занепадати, і в мене також не було зросту як професійного, так і фінансового. Тож після кількох років роботи там, все ж прийняла рішення звільнитися. Тепер розумію, що вчинила правильно, – згадує Олександра. Близько пів року тому Олександра за порадою подруги працевлаштувалася у цех водопостачання комбінату Запоріжсталь. Попри те, що вона вже мала досвід та навички роботі у цій сфері, разом з наставником протягом місяця проходила навчання на профес
