Social responsibility

Main area of social responsibility of Universal Handling Company is manpower care. At the moment over 170 employees work in the company.

The company has the target fund for support of its employees and their families. Fund is established at the expense of the company and spent on the basis of resolution of the committee chosen by the employees. The advantages of the target fund are the transparency of spending the funds, availability of support for all the employees regardless of their membership in professional unions.

The company reimburses the expenses for health-improving and preventive measures, recreation and sport to the employees of the terminal; parents with many children receive an additional financial assistance. The company also helps the workers who turned to be in hard life situations. Besides, money from the target fund is used for arrangement of festive events for children of port workers.
