Executive summary

The research successfully identified Russian companies with significant social projects suitable for the 'Best Social Projects of Russia' award program. The evidence shows this is an established annual award program (running for at least 13 years as of 2024-2025) that recognizes corporate social responsibility initiatives across Russian businesses. Gazprom-Media Holding and its subsidiaries emerge as documented winners with recognized social and ESG projects. The program evaluates projects across multiple categories including education, healthcare, environmental protection, and community welfare. However, the research gathered limited granular detail on specific project implementations, beneficiary numbers, or comprehensive lists of participating companies beyond Gazprom entities.

Key findings
  • The 'Best Social Projects of Russia' is an established annual award program that completed its XIII edition in September 2024, recognizing companies for achievements in corporate social responsibility and social investment
  • Gazprom-Media Holding and its companies have been recognized as winners in the 'Best Social Projects of Russia' program, with their social and ESG projects named among the best in Russia
  • The program has evolved to include ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria, with a parallel 'Best ESG Projects in Russia' program running alongside the social projects awards
  • The award ceremony is described as 'the main CSR event of the year' in Russia, with results announced at formal ceremonies (the XIII program results were announced on September 29, 2024 in Moscow)
  • Social investment by Russian companies has shifted from being viewed as 'charity' to becoming a 'strategic priority and key element of sustainable development' according to program organizers
  • Gazprom Group maintains formal management structures for charity and sponsorship projects, with decisions on social investment projects falling within the remit of the Chairman of the Management Committee
  • The program evaluates projects based on their ability to have 'positive impact on society' and effectiveness beyond financial indicators, with emphasis on measurable outcomes
