"CSR projects have become especially valuable this year, when the pandemic has forced businesses to reconsider their strategies and focus their efforts on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in our country," – says Marina Saprykina, Head of Corporate Responsibility Development Centre. "Dozens of projects that have created a significant impact and changed the lives of many Ukrainians were presented at this year's Businesses Changing Ukraine conference, but we are glad to give a special award to the extremely unifying and inspiring DobroRun project."
"We at Asters have always viewed corporate social responsibility as an important part of our mission," – comments Asters Senior Partner Armen Khachaturyan. "The projects presented at this conference have proved that leading Ukrainian companies share this understanding at a large scale. We are grateful to CSR Development Centre for the best efforts in promoting the principles of sustainable business and social responsibility in Ukraine."
