“Eco-Saturday”: a project of AO GC Titan got an award among the best environmental practices in 2022

The grand final of the National Environmental Award called “Eco-Award-2022” was held in Moscow. The project of AO GC Titan “Eco-Saturday” was among the winners.

This year the project “Eco-Saturday” got a professional award, having won the 3^rd place among the best environmental practices, technologies and companies’ projects, public organizations and influencers in the nomination “Ecoinitiative”.

During the implementation of the unique federal project more than 120 eco-events have been organized including eco-quests, round discussions, interviews, eco-lectures (for companies’ employees, students, pro-active residents, leaders of public movements and organizations). Thus, people develop not only eco-habits, but also create eco spaces in their houses or offices.

During a solemn ceremony Deputy General Director for Corporate Communications of AO GC Titan, co-author of the project “Eco-Saturday” Alina Rybina noted: “Each person in this hall is the center of the information that needs to be spread. Although there aren’t many of us, but an important and proper community is forming around us. I hope that each action of (at least) our grandchildren will contribute to environmental protection. This is what we should strive for!”

“The project includes several directions such as: social entrepreneurship, ecological education, formation of an expert community. We want to combine the practices that we successfully implement in these areas into one common, large project of a federal scale”, an eco-activist and the creator of the project “Eco-Thinking”  Sergey Elizarov commented.

It should be noted that the "Eco-Award-2022" is aimed to support careful attitude to the environment, promotion of environmental technologies, initiatives and achievements of industry, business, science, eco-activists, as well as to popularize the best examples of environmental practices. The organizers accepted applications in different categories: "EcoTechnology", "EcoRegion", "EcoEnterprise", "EcoLeader", "EcoProduct", "We are Responsible" and "EcoInitiative".

Members of the supervisory board of the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" media group voiced their assessment of the contribution of Russian regions, industrial enterprises, public and scientific organizations in the environmental safety of the country.

First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection and UNO Goodwill Ambassador Vyacheslav Fetisov emphasized: "The prize is definitely connected to our future. We have begun to understand what is most important for us. Today it is difficult to cope with environmental problems without the press, because it is a process that requires the unity of the family, school, state, and, of course, public organizations."

We should add that earlier on the air of the program "Eco-Saturday with Titan" its presenter, Deputy General Director of Corporate Communications of AO GC Titan Alina Rybina in a conversation with the curator of the National Environmental Award of the media group "Komsomolskaya Pravda" Yana Popova made a proposal to establish a separate nomination for children:

“Our proposal for the “Eco-Award” is to expand target groups by age range. I am sure that the project will actively support this idea; we are ready to establish a nomination for children, and for those who are ready to generate eco-solutions from the age of 11. By conducting school lessons we’ve understood that children take an active stance on environmental issues. Actually, in the future, these are specialists who think about protecting the environment before doing anything”.
