The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), the main economic event in Russia since the beginning of the pandemic, started in St. Petersburg. From 2 to 5 June, business representatives will gather here to discuss key economic issues. Foodbank Rus is participating in this important and major event.

On June 2, a panel discussion “Interaction between the state, business and the non-profit sector: corporate social responsibility in a post-pandemic world” was held, organized by the Committee on Youth Policy and Interaction with Public Organizations. President of the Foodbank Rus Julia Nazarova, discussed with representatives of business and public organizations acute issues related to interaction between business and NGOs, as well as ways of sustainable mutual development. During the discussion, a lot of time was devoted to discussing the problems of ecology and sharing economics.

The coronavirus pandemic has made significant adjustments to the work format. New challenges have impacted the way businesses operate. Social, environmental and corporate responsibility is becoming a top priority for investors. Charity and corporate volunteering are not a one-off practice, but a regular business activity.
