From October 10 to October 17, a traditional volunteer action "Green City" took place, in which about 15,000 SCM Group employees, along with their families and friends, took part. In total, the "Green City" campaign captured about 100 cities and towns where SCM Group companies operate. In a week, SCM volunteers landed trees, removed organic litter, liquidated spontaneous dumps, renovated fences, benches, playgrounds. This is primarily the merit of the employees of Metinvest, DTEK, Ukrtelecom, Lemtrans, the telecommunication group Vega, Parallel and UMG.  

In Kiev volunteers cleaned the territory of the Babiyar Yar memorial, where they planted tree saplings, and also helped to arrange a camp for children of settlers "Forest Park" in the village of Dymer. In Krivoy Rog, the local Botanical Garden was replenished with 200 shrubs of lilacs, works on landscaping were held at the local home of veterans and on the residential massif Ingulets. SCM volunteers in Dnipropetrovsk landed shrubbery shrubs in the Little Girl's House and removed trash immediately in several parks. In Mariupol, the Youth Square and the Titan Stadium were enriched, and in addition, trees were planted in the Park of Generations.

It is especially important that the volunteer action was held in settlements located in the ATO area - where the assistance is now very difficult and necessary. In Krasnodon, Yenakievo, Avdeyevka, Khartsyzsk, Rovenky, volunteers worked on eliminating spontaneous landfills, cutting trees, arranging recreational areas and planting seedlings.  

"We in the SCM Group are volunteering in a systematic way. At least twice a year, we conduct large-scale volunteer-wide campaigns covering thousands of our employees along with our relatives. This creates an important impulse in the cities of our presence, when people engage in the lives of their cities with small concrete things. It is this inclusion - the main task of corporate volunteering, in my opinion. So the matter is not only not so much in the amount of waste garbage and planted trees. The issue is the creation of new, sustainable models of responsible citizenship among SCM employees, "said Natalia Emchenko , Director of Public Relations for SCM Communications
