In 2023, more than 978 Gazprombank employees from 11 Russian cities took part in donor events. Each participant donated an average of 450 milliliters of blood. It took not more than an hour and saved someone’s life.

Donor events take place within the framework of the “GPB Team of good” project, which brings together Gazprombank employees to help those who need it. Thanks to this initiative, everyone has the opportunity to realize their volunteer potential, based on the bank’s value - attention to people.

“Every drop of blood becomes part of a valuable project - a project to save lives. Blood donation is a manifestation of not only mercy, but also responsibility, as well as concern for the health of society, which begins in our offices,” notes GPB project manager Yana Garnova.

Donors' motivation is to be useful to those who need their help and support right now. Employees understand that every donation is a contribution to someone’s life! That’s not all. After each donation, donors from the Head Office can donate a food subsidy to the partner charitable foundations: “Old Age in Joy”, “Bureau of Good Deeds”, “Rusfond” and the Yuna Center for the Rehabilitation of Temporarily Homeless Animals. In total, more than 130 thousand rubles were collected in 2023.
