Norilsk Nickel has presented a report on the implementation of the program to support indigenous peoples of Taimyr in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for 2020-2024.
The program to support indigenous peoples of Taimyr includes educational, socio-cultural, housing and medical projects. In addition to the five-year support program, the company has allocated more than 1.2 billion rubles over ten years for traditional charitable assistance to Taimyr and its residents.
Since 2020, the company has been holding the World of Taimyr grant competition as part of the World of New Opportunities program, aimed at the territorial development, social entrepreneurship and unlocking the potential of residents of the northern region, having supported 48 projects for almost 100 million rubles during this period.
In 2025, Norilsk Nickel intends to continue supporting the indigenous minorities of the North in Taimyr through a number of initiatives such as the introduction of online education, the construction of social infrastructure, support for certain categories of citizens, students in particular, and many other projects.
