Колонку директорки зі сталого розвитку та взаємодії з персоналом Групи Метінвест Тетяни Петрук опубліковано в друкованому номері журналу Forbes Ukraine за лютий—березень 2024 року.Микола Ткаченко із «Запоріжсталі» Групи «Метінвест» із перших днів війни захищав країну в складі 110-ї окремої механізованої бригади ЗСУ. Відслуживши рік стрільцем-гранатометником, демобілізувався. Зізнається, що адаптація до цивільного життя була дуже важкою. Ішов на фронт однією людиною, а повернувся геть іншою. З безсонням, кошмарами та ПТСР допомогла впоратися підтримка рідних та колег. З’явилися тригери: не запитувати про пережите на війні, не тиснути на ветерана, а чути його.Такі історії – наша нова реальність. Їх об’єднує загальне виснаження – головна ознака третього року війни. Виснажені люди, бізнеси й іноземні партнери. І подолати це знесилення можна лише особистим підходом до кожної людини.Нашим завданням стає впровадження цього особистого підходу до кожного співробітника, особливо для ветеранів,

As part of an energy efficiency project, two new nitrogen compressors were installed in the oxygen compressor shop, with the previous equipment dismantled. The new equipment helped reduce electricity consumption by almost 50% in the first month alone, with savings of UAH 5.6 million in monetary terms. The planned annual savings will amount to about 29% of total energy costs.The previous equipment did not provide the required nitrogen pressure, which, in turn, could have a negative impact on the production process in the BOF shop. To avoid potential risks and reduce the impact of the old equipment, TRE turbocompressors were selected to effectively meet the needs of the plant.The project took less than a year to implement, from the development of the Inquiry Technical Specification and engineering to the launch of the new equipment. The savings in the first month alone exceeded expectations by almost 67%.– Modern technologies in the energy saving system are an integral part of the effic

Last week, executives from Metinvest Group’s production assets and the management company took part in a training tour in the United States to learn about the world’s best practices in working with war veterans. The purpose was to further use the experience gained in developing the Group’s ecosystem for working with former military personnel.
