Employee right to the protection of family, maternity and childhood

We are committed to taking care not only of our employees, but also of their families.

Maternity protection

The Company retains salaries of employees on maternity leave and provides them with financial aid.

The Company provides financial assistance to employees giving birth to /adopting a child, to those raising disabled children under the age of 18, and employees or their family members suffering from a serious illness. In addition, the Company implements social programmes to support families, including family recreation and leisure, medical care, etc.

Family recreation and rehabilitation programmes

Nornickel implements health improvement programmes for employees and their families, including recreation for children. In 2022, children of the Company’s employees spent their summer holidays at a health resort and recreation camp on the Black Sea. Due to the temporary closure of Anapa Airport, the resort could only be reached by train. Thanks to the camp shift organisers, everything went smoothly, with children first arriving in Adler by regular and charter flights. To further transport the children to Anapa, Nornickel together with its partners arranged a special train made up of 14 carriages. Nornickel was the first and only company to offer such a multimodal transportation experience.

The Company’s social package includes discounted tours for health resort treatment and recreation of employees and their families, as well as reimbursement of round trip travel expenses and baggage fees (for the respective data, please see the Labour Rights section).
