EkoNivaAgro proceeds with its active social work aimed at providing housing for its specialists. This time, nine employees of the company and their families have received the keys to their new flats in a modern five-storey building in Bobrov district, Voronezh oblast.

EkoNivaAgro purchased the dwelling several years ago to ensure comfortable living conditions for its staff. The one- and two-room flats have been renovated and equipped with kitchen furniture, refrigerators and other household appliances. The company offers the accommodation on a rent-free basis – only utility bills need to be paid. At the moment, the block of flats is 80% occupied.

‘Most of our employees are young people, university graduates from different regions of Russia, and the housing issue remains vital to them. We strive to settle it so that people would choose to live in villages’, says Roman Volodin, First Deputy Regional Director of EkoNivaAgro.

At the ceremony, herd managers, veterinarians, agronomists, engineers and other specialists of EkoNivaAgro-East and North operations and Anna dairy plant were handed the keys to their new homes.

Polina Skakova, a native of Lipetsk oblast, has been working as a veterinarian at EkoNivaAgro-North for three years, during which time she has shown an excellent performance. She also met her husband Aleksandr, and after the wedding, the company's management decided to give the newlyweds a special present – a flat.

‘It is great that EkoNiva takes care of its workers and does its best for them to live and work in favourable conditions. We deeply appreciate the company’s contribution to the comfort and welfare of our family’, says Polina Skakova.

In addition to ensuring accommodation for its employees, EkoNivaAgro joined the Comprehensive Development of Rural Areas social programme. In 2020-2021, the company co-financed the construction of 66 detached houses in Liski and Bobrov districts. This year, 15 more dwellings are to be commissioned in Bobrov district under the programme.
