An important element of the development of the inclusive approach implemented in the Company is the support of employees raising children with disabilities. Moreover constant financial aid is provided to such employees, as well as additional social guarantees.

Andrey Nikolaev, General Director of Optic fiber Systems JSC: "An inclusive approach is becoming part of the modern world in social sphere. Society is becoming more and more aware and declares that health complications should not be a barrier to normal life, self-realization and socialization of any person. However, we must admit that inclusive approach to the organization of industrial production as an accessible working environment is a complex initiative that requires significant efforts in order to adapt standard processes and search for non–standard solutions. Therefore, we are still at the very beginning of the journey. I am convinced that joining the National Inclusive Agreement is an important step for the company in creation of new approaches and practices that promote the agenda of equal rights and opportunities."
