When I started we had a very hard-working culture which I jumped at it because I was really trying to develop and there was a strong team spirit. All of us as a team working for big things and this culture of excellence is exactly what motivates me. I think all people like sport or competition. We have the feeling of a big game every single day, and for me personally this is motivating.
What makes this desire for excellence particularly motivating is that we use it for good. We practically established Corporate Social Responsibility in Belarus. When we did our first major ecological project, related to Co2 emissions, everyone wondered where the commercial reason was. We had to explain that there was no commercial reason, that we were doing it to benefit society. Soon a lot of local companies started to follow suit, but we were the groundbreakers. We built a culture that other companies followed. As a biologist by training, being part of a company that uses its power to make its footprint as minimal as possible is very rewarding for me.
We are truly number one here, and I am really proud to work for a leader in the industry. But thinking about all of this, I am most proud of my journey. There are so many new situations and a lot of new challenges ahead of me. It’s not finished yet!
