Abi holding company has been awarded the status of “Responsible Investor”

In December 2022, the regional law “On responsible business conduct in the Vladimir region” was adopted. The rating, developed with the direct participation of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District, Igor Shchegolev, allows for a comprehensive assessment of the financial and economic activities of companies in three areas: environment, personnel and government.

The “Responsible Investor” status means access to additional support measures in the form of reducing the terms of provision of services from more than 60 state, municipal and resource supply organizations to stabilize business conditions and return on investment.

Alexander Remiga clarified that the rating consists of three stages: prequalification, scoring and questioning. The latter is carried out on a voluntary basis, and Abi was the first in the region to participate. 

During the survey, enterprises disclose information that usually does not appear in open sources: about participation in environmental initiatives, an additional social package for employees, incentives for staff, involvement of employees in sports and charity projects, the introduction of advanced technologies... a total of 30 sections.

To date, the “Responsible Investor” status has been assigned to more than 60 companies in the Vladimir region. According to the results of the assessment, legal entities included in the Abi holding scored from 94 to 108 points, and this is the only food product manufacturer with such high results, noted Alexander Remiga.

The regional government is currently reviewing applications from another 200 businesses seeking responsible investor status.

According to General DIRECTOR Abi Tatyana Trifonova, the appearance in the Vladimir region of a law aimed at encouraging and recognizing companies that create comfortable and modern workplaces, take care of employees, have a socially active position, and implement environmental, educational or other social projects, was very timely . She emphasized that support for useful initiatives from the state is an important incentive for further development.

Abi fully fulfills its obligations to implement two large-scale projects: the construction of factories for the production of sausages and frozen fully prepared products. After the launch, more than 3,000 new vacancies will be created, production volumes and tax contributions to state budgets will increase. The total volume of investments has already exceeded the planned 16 billion rubles and reached 17.3 billion rubles.

Abi is a systemically important enterprise in RUSSIA. The company ensures food security, invests in the development of the region and industry, and has created jobs for about 12 thousand people. A comprehensive program has been introduced to support employees; much attention is paid to families with children. 

The holding supports social and charitable initiatives of employees, implements joint educational projects “Personnel Marketing” with the Vladimir branch of RANEPA and “Marketing Territory” with Vladimir State University.
