The Company strives to develop social partnership, improve the social security of employees, and create development prospects for the Company as a whole.
Rosseti Kuban places high importance on social support to energise staff members and raise their commitment to production tasks. The benefits and guarantees in place in the Company, as well as social programmes and employee support programmes, help attract and retain the most valuable employees, promote staff loyalty to the Company, and facilitate the achievement of the Company’s goals.
While demanding the maximum commitment and improved performance from its staff, the Company acknowledges that it is necessary to provide the employees with extra social benefits and guarantees exceeding those prescribed by law and funded from the Company profits.
The Social Policy of Rosseti Kuban is aligned with the Sectoral Tariff Agreement of the Electric Power Industry of the Russian Federation, the collective bargaining agreement, by‑laws, rules and other local regulatory documents.
In accordance with the collective bargaining agreement, as part of the social package, the Company’s employees receive financial assistance in connection with childbirth, marriage registration, burial of close relatives, retirement, difficult financial situation (emergency case), status of families with many children, and in case of death of an employee as well. There is also compensation for childcare in pre‑schools, etc.
The collective bargaining agreement of the Company covers the support of employees who need better housing conditions through financial aid in partial payment of credit interest. In the reporting period, the Company paid a total of RUB 26.56 million to 287 employees as financial aid.
Being a socially responsible Company, Rosseti Kuban takes care of the Company’s veterans and retirees.

In the reporting period, over 2,400 of the Company veterans and retirees received various benefits (monetary support for the Victory Day, the Power Engineer Day, monthly monetary support and on‑application monetary support, etc) to the total of RUB 8.55 million.

The Company also provided over 430 discounted vouchers to children’s health camps.
