OKKO projects get a prestigious national award for three consecutive years

On December 17, the project "I beg you, fasten! Road safety" by OKKO filling stations network was recognized as one of the winners of the All-Ukrainian competition of corporate social responsibility cases. The case was celebrated at the annual National Conference "Business Changing the Country" and received the award in the nomination "Ensuring openness, security, viability and environmental sustainability of cities and towns".

Since 2009, the Center for Corporate Social Responsibility Development organizes the conference and contest in the partnership with the international consulting company EY. For over 9 years the organizers of the award have already collected more than 300 cases from the leading companies of Ukraine.

The participants' projects were evaluated by a jury composed of reputable international experts from 10 countries of the world. In total 23 Ukrainian companies took part in the competition and competed for the victory in nominations. The international jury evaluated the company's practices for innovative solutions and implementation methods, practical value, integration of the business strategy approach, socio-economic results for the company and society, the relationship with the CSR and the format of the case itself.

The project "I beg you, live! Road safety" from OKKO has been going on in Ukraine for 4 years in a row. Its new stage "I beg, fasten!" started in November 2017 and lasted 6 months in different formats: trainings in 10 regions of Ukraine, video course for young parents, competitions, promotions and so on. Over half a year, it has managed to reach the audience of 3.5 million Ukrainians.

OKKO for the third time became the winner of the All-Ukrainian contest of corporate social responsibility cases. In 2016, a project of a children's room at the central office in Lviv received an award for contributing to gender equality. Last year, OKKO got the award for the reduction of the inequality with the case of the establishment of a network of containers at the filling stations for collecting used things that are transferred to the poor and needy categories of citizens.
