Environment and Social Responsibility<br />
Social security and social partnership<br />
OAO <strong>Gazprom</strong>’s social policy gives the Company a competitive advantage, raises its profile<br />
in the employment market and aims at attracting highly skilled professionals and retaining them<br />
in the Company in the longer run.<br />
The concept of social partnership that underlies the corporate social policy provides for various<br />
social payments, personal insurance, healthcare, housing and private (supplementary) pensions<br />
offered to employees.<br />
The Company offers social protection and support to World War II veterans from among the<br />
pensioners on the books of OAO <strong>Gazprom</strong>, its subsidiaries and entities.<br />
The key areas and pillars of the social policy are set out in the General Collective Agreement<br />
of OAO <strong>Gazprom</strong> and in general collective agreements of its subsidiaries.<br />
The Company also runs a corporate housing programme to acquire young talent and retain<br />
key and young highly skilled employees. The programme is funded by both employees<br />
and the Company through bank mortgage lending facilities (using a co-financing approach).<br />
Thus, the existing social policy is an effective tool to address employee incentivisation<br />
and performance improvement challenges.<br />
