In our turn, we are willing to provide assistance for businesses of any size,” says FBK Partner Vladimir Skobarev.

Employees from seven companies, including Gazprom, Bank BelVEB, Da-Strategy and others, attended the training delivered within the framework of the GRI Global Program.

After the training the attendees completed questionnaires to be sent to GRI in which they noted that the training had disclosed the value of reporting and outlined the steps of the reporting process.
