The additional agreement envisages financing of programs of the regional innovation and investment foundation “Yamal”, the all-Russian public organization “The Russian Association of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East”, the foundation “Cooperation of Yamal”, the Association “The council of municipalities of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug” and the nonprofit organization “Union of veterans of Yamal”. The head of the region thanked Vagit Alekperov and the collective of the company for socially responsible business, concrete and real work on the territory of Yamal. He notes that the president of LUKOIL is one of a few leaders, whose participation in life of the country and Yamal is boundless. Vagit Alekperov calls the system of work through the agreement the best form of relations between the region’s government and the heads of large economic subjects, explaining that the regional administration understands the needs of the population better. He is sure that both past and future agreements will be fulfilled on 100 percent from both sides - the company and the region. All the previous agreements were completely fulfilled, as the president of the company says. He thanked the head of the region for constructive relations, flexibility and efficiency in taking decisions that touch upon not only production activities but also social work. As we should note, a year ago, signing the agreement, Dmitry Kobylkin underlined that the government and the company shared the same goals and understanding of the necessity to maintain the balance between industrial development and careful attitude to the Arctic.
