The Kryvyi Rih Mining and Metallurgical Plant PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih (AMKR, Dnipropetrovsk region) spent nearly UAH 57 million on social projects and charitable assistance in 2025.
According to the company’s press release on Monday, throughout 2025, AMKR continued to implement social and charitable initiatives aimed at supporting local communities, veterans, families of deceased employees, and victims of war.
A significant part of the aid during the war consists of direct payments and support for employees and their families: UAH 25 million was allocated to the families of deceased employees, and another UAH 5.9 million was allocated to help employees who suffered as a result of enemy shelling. The amount of funds allocated by the company to charitable projects amounted to more than UAH 9.2 million. Key social and charitable projects in 2025 include: renovation of the urology department of the First City Hospital; assistance in the development of border infrastructure; support for the Kryvyi Rih City Museum of Local History in the creation of a Memorial Bell Tower dedicated to the fallen defenders of Ukraine.
A separate and priority area of AMKR’s social work remains support for veterans and military personnel, as well as their families. In 2025, the Coordination Center continued its work, providing information and consulting support to demobilized employees. During the year, 97 individual interviews were conducted with veterans. For prompt information and communication with veterans, the Telegram channel “AMKR Veteran” is in operation, which had 254 subscribers by the end of the year.
The company maintained its supplementary health insurance program, which includes sanatorium and resort treatment, dental services, and psychological support. In 2025, 71 veterans underwent treatment and rehabilitation, 19 of whom received sanatorium and resort treatment. Dental care (emergency, routine, prosthetics, and implants) was provided to 69 people. Free physiotherapy procedures continued to be provided to military personnel and demobilized employees. In addition, in 2026, social benefits in the form of a 10% discount on meals in the company’s canteens continued to be provided.
An important area of work remains the adaptation and creation of jobs for veterans. In 2025, five jobs were created taking into account the individual needs of veterans, and one job was adapted for an employee with a Group II disability. The company continues to implement inclusive practices, in particular, ensuring the accessibility of workplaces, flexible working conditions for employees undergoing treatment or rehabilitation, as well as training managers and teams to work with veterans and people with disabilities.
AMKR also cooperates with the employment center to obtain compensation for the adaptation of workplaces for persons with disabilities. In 2025, the company received compensation for the actual costs of adapting a workplace for a veteran employee with a Group II disability. In addition, cooperation continues with the municipal non-profit enterprise “Service Office ”Veteran.”
Supporting communities, veterans, families of the deceased, and socially vulnerable groups remains an important part of AMKR’s responsibility to the city and the country, especially in the context of the ongoing war.
AMKR CEO Mauro Longobardo stated that since the beginning of the war, the company has allocated approximately UAH 767 million to social and charitable initiatives.
“Supporting our people remains an unconditional priority for us. In particular, during this period, UAH 119.40 million was allocated to the families of deceased employees, and another UAH 11.39 million was allocated to help employees who suffered as a result of enemy shelling,” said the CEO, adding that the company is operating in extremely difficult conditions.
As reported, in 2025, AMKR increased its tax and fee payments to budgets at all levels by almost 28% compared to 2024, to UAH 8.5 billion. Of this amount, UAH 1.8 billion went to the state budget and UAH 2.6 billion to local budgets.
