Vostok-Service continues its campaign to clean water bodies. Results for 2023

Our employees contribute to preserving water resources and local flora and fauna: they clean water bodies and coastal areas of litter and properly dispose of waste. An environmental campaign to clean shorelines of litter is held annually in the cities where the company operates.

Water is the source of all life. Due to climate change, water shortages are already being felt in many regions of our planet. Pollution of oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and other water bodies often makes the water unsafe for humans, terrestrial flora and fauna. But without water we simply cannot survive… That is why it is so important to preserve water resources, maintain their cleanliness and suitability for use.

Employees of Vostok-Service, in the company's 30th anniversary year, decided to make their contribution to the preservation of Russia's water resources. As a result, the shorelines of many water bodies have been cleaned in the cities where the company's branches and divisions operate.
