Social policy
The key principles of the Company’s social policy include the creation of comfortable conditions for employees’ work and rest, higher social security of employees and their better labour/social relations. The social focus of the Company is on the development of the social partnership, improvement of employees’ social security, and creation of development prospects for the Company as a whole.
The Company places high importance on social support to energise staff members and raise their commitment to production tasks. The benefits and guarantees in place in the Company, as well as social programmes and employee support programmes, help attract and retain the most valuable employees, promote staff loyalty to the Company, and facilitate the achievement of the Company’s goals.
While demanding the maximum commitment and improved performance from its staff, the Company acknowledges that it is necessary to provide the employees with extra social benefits and guarantees exceeding those prescribed by law and funded from the Company profits.
The social policy of the Company is aligned with the Sectoral Tariff Agreement of the Electric Power Industry of the Russian Federation, the collective bargaining agreement of the Company, by‑laws, rules and other local regulatory documents.
In accordance with the collective bargaining agreement, as part of the social package, the Company’s employees receive financial assistance in connection with childbirth, marriage registration, burial of close relatives, retirement, difficult financial situation (emergency case), status of families with many children, and in case of death of an employee as well. There is also compensation for childcare in pre‑schools, etc.

| Monetary support for employees, veterans and retirees | 40.70 | 56.81 | 59.49 |
| Compensation payments | 1.13 | 2.17 | 1.85 |
The Company’s collective bargaining agreement provides for assistance and support to employees in improving their housing conditions. This support is expressed in the form of financial assistance in repaying part of the interest on the loan. In the reporting period, the Company paid a total of RUB 23.45 million to 330 employees as financial aid.
Being a socially responsible company, Rosseti Kuban JSC takes care of the Company’s veterans and retirees.

During the reporting period, over 2,400 veterans and retirees received various benefits totalling RUB 8.43 million (financial aid for Victory Day and Power Engineer’s Day, monthly financial aid and financial aid upon application, etc.).
An important factor in improving the workforce efficiency is the promotion of health and recreation of employees and their children.

The Company also provided over 600 discounted vouchers to children’s health camps.
