The full-scale war has been going on in Ukraine for more than two years. Many military members return to the frontline after treatment and rehabilitation. However, there are cases when further service becomes impossible, and then service members have to find their place in civilian life. Read an interview with Bohdan Berezniuk, a crusher at Central GOK's crushing plant who demobilised about a year ago, to learn about challenges veterans face and what they expect from others after returning home. Bohdan went through the war with the call sign "Stepanovych". And now he is gradually "returning" to civilian life and profession."Frankly speaking, it wasn't too hard for me on the frontline, because I was among my fellow soldiers, among those who are on the same wavelength and will always come to the rescue. There, on the frontline, you clearly realise that you can only rely on the will of God and your comrade who is by your side. Moreover, I had to keep up the morale among my lads and did my

Без цієї жінки післявоєнне відновлення Запоріжсталі могло не відбутися.Жінки в історії становлення та розвитку Запоріжжя, яким ми його знаємо сьогодні, відігравали далеко не другорядні ролі. У долі підприємств важкої промисловості – як-то Запоріжсталі – жіночі постаті теж залишили свій відбиток.Ще з 1930-х років вони брали участь у будівництві підприємства, а потім й самовіддано працювали пліч-о-пліч з чоловіками-металургами. Уявіть, жінки несли свої трудові вахти навіть біля горну доменної печі комбінату. Але є й приклади, коли фахівчині заводу своїми діями, у прямому сенсі цих слів, рятували його. Ділимося історією Олени Семенівни ШЕРЕМЕТ, яка свого часу вберегла всю проєктно-технічну документацію Запоріжсталі. Без цих документів, по суті, було б неможливим повоєнне відродження підприємства.Олена Семенівна народилася у 1910 році в Одесі. Освіту отримувала спочатку у місцевій трудовій школі, потім – у художній промислово-професійній школі, а згодом отримала й профільну освіту техніка-

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

This year Nadiia and Borys Trygub are celebrating the eighth spring together, but this is the first time when the three of them are doing it together. At the end of October 2023, the CGOK production site foreman and pelletizing plant conveyor operator's daughter was born. About family memories and family joys – in an interview with a young mother.Strong and tender at the same time, bright and hard-working, kind and persistent women work in the teams of Metinvest enterprises. Since 2015, Nadiia Trygub’s favourite place of work has been the pelletizing plant at CGOK. Her husband also works here. She is responsible for the conveyor operation, and he controls the process of firing pellets – those premium ones that are the business card of the plant.“We became a couple in the spring, and before that we worked at the same company for half a year, but never met. However, I knew Oleksandr, Borys’s brother. Oleksandr immediately struck me as a very positive person: a sportsman, without bad hab

Graduates of Selidovo Vocational Lyceum and Selidovo Polytechnic Vocational College discovered the prospects for higher education during a joint event with Metinvest Polytechnic representatives.

His life has been connected with the company for almost 40 years, and he spent two and a half of them serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, defending Ukraine's independence and freedom in the hottest hostilities areas. A few months ago, Volodymyr Shchelkachov demobilized and returned to Kamet-Steel, to the Sinter Shop.Volodymyr's metallurgical speciality is a wagon tipper operator, and he has been working at this particular area of the Sinter Plant for many years. At the same time, this balanced man with a warm, sunny smile has another military speciality – he is an anti-aircraft missile platoon commander. And in this profession, Senior Lieutenant Shchelkachov "worked" with honour and conscience in the most difficult combat areas of eastern Ukraine.Volodymyr was first mobilised in 2014, and his year of service is marked by such names as Dobropillia, Avdiivka, Karlivka and many others - names that are synonymous with bravery and commitment to pledge for ATO soldiers.

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. The tour included numerous meetings with representatives of private business, government and non-government sectors in the US.The choice of the US as the country for conducting the tour was driven by its longstanding practice of implementing veteran policies at all levels. The programme was developed together with America’s Warrior Partnership.Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more than 9,000 employees of Metinvest have been mobilised to the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces. More than 500 veterans have already returned from the war and begun work. The Group is also engaging new employees: veterans of the Ukrainian

A young specialist of the plant - about the values, motivation and expectations that coincided with the reality.Zaporizhstal has always been and remains a forge of personnel for the industry, because it does not just hire young professionals and specialists: they are taught to work with maximum efficiency, develop and implement new solutions for production and develop their potential. Acquaintance with the enterprise begins with an introductory tour, flows into production practice, professional research projects, and gets its logical continuation on the site as a young employee of the Zaporizhstal team.Among them is Dmytro POPOV, a hot strip mill rolling operator. He has been working at the plant for eight months and joined the rolling team after completing his vocational education at college."I did an on-the-job training in the fabricated metal product shop, and after completing my studies, I came to the hot rolling shop. Now I work at the continuous sheet rolling mill 1680. The team
