Azot KAO
The forum is considered one of the key platforms for demonstrating the advanced achievements of Russian regions in the social sphere and sharing positive experiences. Among the successful projects presented were those of Azot KAO.

An important event of the forum was the plenary session ‘Demography 2.0. Reboot’ with the participation of Valentina Matvienko, Chairwoman of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, and Sergey Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow. Kuzbass was among several regions that presented projects in the field of demographic support. Ilya Seredyuk, Governor of Kuzbass – Kemerovo Region, spoke about the successes achieved and, during his speech, provided Azot employees with the opportunity to participate in the event via video link.

The company's CEO, Andrei Vishnevsky, presented the plant's social programmes to the forum audience, including the ‘Our Children’ programme, launched in 2024, which pays one million roubles to every child born into a plant worker's family. During this time, the plant has paid 120 million roubles to children.

Alexander and Tatyana Barykin, employees of Azot KAO, recently became parents for the second time and also took part in the programme.

‘For us, as for other Azotov families, this amount has been a huge help, because with the birth of children come new worries and expenses, and we want them to have the best of everything,’ said the head of the family.

Another participant in the All-Russian forum was Tatiana Rosental, an operator at the lactam-2 workshop, who is expecting her third child:

"Female employees can take maternity leave from the 15th week of pregnancy, which is a great opportunity to calmly prepare for such an important event. In addition, the plant provides great support for children. They can undergo free medical examinations, sanatorium-resort treatment, attend summer camp, and participate in children's holidays, which Azot KAO organises regularly.
