25.05.2016

The suburban facility for elderly people «Monino won the all-Russian award «Good Cause-2016» in a special nominated category of its Expert board. The award was founded by the All-Russian Public Organization «Business Russia». More than 160 applications from members of Business Russia from 30 regions from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad were filed for participation in the award. The award was resurrected and reorganized on initiative and with direct involvement of Sergey Orlov, СEO of «RWM Capital» Asset management, Head of the Board for corporate social responsibility, charity and patronage of arts of «Business Russia». Winners of the award were determined by popular online voting in which all candidates and over 40 thousand people took part. The festive ceremony of awarding the winners took place on May 24, 2016 in the headquarters of «Business Russia» in Moscow.

«In my opinion, the all-Russian award «Good Cause» is one of the most significant undertakings of «Business Russia», - Sergey Orlov said in his opening speech. - The founders of our organization stood at the origins of this award. The history of the award dates back more than 10 years. By resurrecting this award, we tried to fill it with new meaning which will emphasize its unique nature in the midst of other public awards. This is the first and only award with which businessmen and the business community itself honors their colleagues, representatives of Russian non oil-and-gas sector having significantly contributed to the sustainable development of their companies and the society in general».

The list of the nominated categories also distinguishes the resurrected award «Good Cause-2016» from all previous awards. In addition to traditional categories for achievements in the area of work with local communities and charity, this year businessmen were honored in three other directions of corporate social responsibility. These are «Best Labor Practices», «Work with Consumers and Protection of their Rights» and «Environmental Protection». Besides, the regional board, the expert board and the board of guardians of «Business Russia» created 3 additional special nominated categories.

«The award is the mark of pride of «Business Russia», says Alexey Repik, CBD of the Group of Companies «R-Farm», President of «Business Russia» and Chairman of the Board of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation for Investment Climate. - Many representatives of business community still see corporate social responsibility as an additional burden. However, «Business Russia» decided to honor the practices which directly increase the competitive strength of both a single company and the economy as a whole. They create positive environment attracting the best personnel, the human capital assets to a domestic employer. These are businessmen who love their country, cities they live and work in, and are proud of people, their colleagues, employees among who they spend the significant part of their lives. In my opinion, the award «Good Cause» is kind and even romantic. I sincerely wish luck to those who does this good work and those who raise public awareness about them».

The project of the Suburban Facility for Elderly People «Monino» became the winner of the award in the special nominated category of the Expert board of the award. Upon presenting the award, Svetlana Gerasimova, Director of the Institute of Humanization of Business under Moscow International School of Business MIRBIS commented that the project «Monino» followed the trend of an alternative approach to old age and expressed her gratitude for the fact that the project actively shared its practices and kept demonstrating its efficiency.

At the awards ceremony Oleg Fedorov, CEO of the Facility for Elderly People «Monino», said: «Nowadays, the Russian society undoubtedly becomes better. The fact that we stopped monitoring only the exchange rates and oil costs and gathered here to honor the best projects aimed at work with children, elderly people and environmental improvement – convincingly proves our resurrection. We are pleased that our work and our project as a whole have been honored with such an important award. Each employee of the Suburban Facility «Monino» actually does good work every day and puts his/her heart into this work. Employees of «Monino» are people who care, who share their warmth and care to those who are in need of it. This award is their achievement. Thanks».
