UC RUSAL joins UN IMPACT 2030
Moscow, 29 October 2015 – UC RUSAL (SEHK: 486; Euronext: RUSAL/RUAL; Moscow Exchange: RUAL/RUALR), a leading global aluminium producer, announces that it has become the first Russian company to join the UN IMPACT 2030 network. IMPACT 2030 is aimed to help deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goals, a set of ambitious targets to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and address climate change.
IMPACT 2030 was initiated by a private sector led global collaboration supporting the UN Resolution adopted by the 66th General Assembly. The Resolution welcomes the broader involvement of the private sector to support volunteerism, and encourages further engagement through the expansion of corporate volunteering and employee volunteer activities.
IMPACT 2030 is supported by a global private sector in collaboration with the United Nations, civil society, academia and other stakeholders. The mission of IMPACT 2030 is to exchange knowledge, coordinate, develop and extend up to date tools of employee involvement into corporate volunteering.
Since 2002 RUSAL has been a member of the UN Global Compact and has regularly developed, implemented and reported on Global Compact’s 10 principles of corporate sustainability. Since 2015 RUSAL has been represented in the UN Global Compact Russian Network.
Since 2010 RUSAL has been implementing social programmes aimed at developing the culture of charity, volunteering, social partnership between governments, businesses and local communities in the regions of operation. Particular attention has been paid to the development of volunteering, for example ‘Believe in Miracles, Create Miracles’, the large scale Christmas and New Year charity volunteering quest run since 2011 in the framework of RUSAL’s ‘Helping is Easy’ social programme, and www.pomogat-prosto.ru web-portal (Russian) launched in 2014 to unite socially oriented NGOs and volunteers.
In 2015 RUSAL contributed to establishing the Russian National Council of Corporate Volunteering, uniting more than 20 Russian companies and organisations.
“The exchange of best practices and experiences within the global business community will create new corporate volunteering opportunities in Russia. IMPACT 2030 aligns companies, their employees and volunteers to meet today’s global challenges. Concurrently, it will help each company that joins the network to deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goals and also create more corporate volunteers in the process”, comments Vera Kurochkina, Director for Corporate Communications, UC RUSAL.
