The company’s initiatives aimed at the comprehensive development of the regions where it operates, support for education and the harmonious development and education of the younger generation received the highest ratings.
“I am well acquainted with the key social project of the company “For the Children of Russia – Education, Health and Spirituality,” which over 20 years has seen 150 thousand young children attend school. Twice a year – at the opening and closing of the sports season – we meet in Kirovsk, the homeland of DROZD, in a city that, thanks to PhosAgro, has become a real center of skiing. We are very glad that the traditional partner of the Russian Ski Racing Federation is a winning company, which, not in words, but in deeds, cares about the well-being of employees and all residents of the regions where it operates. I wish PhosAgro and its team of thousands new victories and continued leadership in the peloton of socially responsible businesses in the country!” – Elena Vyalbe emphasized.

More than 7.6 thousand children study there free of charge on a regular basis. And since 2016, in the Saratov region, thanks to the support of PhosAgro, the DROZD program has grown with another unique project – DROZD-Village.

Thanks to the “little brother” DROZD, more than 650 rural children are involved in sports.
