PhosAgro received the Champion award – MK Vologda

For many years, PhosAgro has been supporting federations of chess, swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, cross-country skiing and other sports

Within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Champion sports and business award was presented, organized by the educational business forum Reputation and the sports platform of the Roscongress Foundation RK-Sport.

There were eight nominations in total, and one of them was won by PhosAgro, the world’s leading producer of phosphorus-containing fertilizers.

She received the award in the category “Sports Show: for the development of sports and entertainment formats.” The President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation Elena Vyalbe presented the award, expressing her deep gratitude to the company for helping to develop skiing in our country.

Oleg Matytsin, Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, in his speech emphasized that the country’s leading companies provide great support to Russian sports and the creation of a modern sports infrastructure in the regions.

PhosAgro is also actively involved in this. According to Svetlana Afanasyeva, Deputy General Director of the company for government relations, PhosAgro provides assistance to children’s, amateur and professional sports. Particular attention is paid to the modernization of sports infrastructure in the regions and cities where the company operates.

For many years, PhosAgro has supported federations of chess, swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, cross-country skiing and other sports. In addition, assistance is provided to several professional teams.

One of them is Cherepovets “Severyanka”. Volleyball players successfully perform at competitions of various levels. Last season alone, the athletes won five sets of medals. Two “gold” brought the club “SShOR-Severyanka” and one silver “Severyanka-2” and “Severyanka-3”. The main volleyball team “Severyanka” this year became the silver medalist of the championship of the Major League “A”. In previous years, with the support of PhosAgro, our volleyball players won gold medals five times.

It should be noted that “Severyanka” relies on the cultivation of its own sports personnel. In Cherepovets, a comprehensive program for the development of women’s volleyball is being successfully implemented – from kindergarten to a professional team.

It is impossible not to mention other important PhosAgro projects related to sports. The most significant is the DROZD project (“Education, Health and Spirituality for the Children of Russia”), within the framework of which more than 7,200 children and adolescents take part in sports sections and circles for free. A large-scale social investment project is being implemented in Kirovsk, where the Bolshoy Vudyavr ski resort and the Khibiny mountain and tourist cluster are being developed. In the 2022-2023 season, over 335,000 guests have already arrived here, which is a quarter more than a year earlier. Also with the support of PhosAgro, legendary traveler Fyodor Konyukhov and Ivan Menyailo made their record-breaking balloon flight this spring.
