Sustainability
EKRA is an active participant in the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their associated targets are global in nature, universally applicable, while taking into account different national capacity conditions in development levels and respecting national strategies and priorities. Currently, measures aimed at achieving the UN SDGs in the Russian Federation are integrated into national projects and other strategic and policy documents, including doctrines, state programs, and concepts.

EKRA actively participates in the implementation of nationwide and worldwide tasks aimed at ensuring a balance in solving socio-economic problems and tasks of preserving a favorable environment and natural resource potential to meet people's needs.
It is impossible to single out any of the UN SDGs in terms of importance, since they represent an inseparable development complex of basic aspects of the country's life: social, environmental, and economic. Depending on their specialization and their capabilities, each individual and each business is involved to a greater or lesser extent in the implementation of each of these goals. Given our company's competence and specialization, our activities ensure the achievement of the following goals, including but not limited to:
- Good health and well-being,
- Self-realization and talent development,
- Sustainable cities and communities,
- Decent work and economic growth,
- Digital transformation,
formulated and adopted in the outcome document of the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit 2015 held at UN Headquarters, “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, as a 15–year “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.”
EKRA pays great attention to the company's compliance with ESG principles: an increased focus on environmentally friendly production (E), implementation of social programs (S), and responsible corporate governance (G). As an active participant in the implementation of digital technologies and digital transformation in the power industry and other sectors of the economy since its inception, our company uses all its competencies to achieve society development goals, in particular, through associated UN SDGs:
