Employees of Rosneft's Samara group of enterprises planted 500 seedlings of Siberian cedars on public urban areas in the Samara region. The campaign was organised in cooperation with the Publishing House Komsomolskaya Pravda in Samara as part of the All-Russian Project Cedars of Russia-2022. Greening was carried out in Samara, Novokuibyshevsk and Syzran, the region's oil production and refining centres.

Preservation of the environment for future generations is an integral part of the corporate culture and social policies of Rosneft. Enterprises of the Company's Samara production site annually initiate environmental campaigns and actively support federal eco-projects, such as Green Spring, Garden of Memory, Water of Russia, Clean Coast, Earth Hour, and We Clean Up the World.

Employees of Samaraneftegas planted cedars on the embankment of the Volga River, volunteers of Kuibyshev Oil Refinery planted a cedar park in the plant's sanatorium and also planted trees on the grounds of schools in Kuibyshevsky district of the city.

Ecovolunteers from the Novokuibyshevsk Refinery, the Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company and the Novokuibyshevsk Oils and Additives Plant took part in the landscaping of the city park, which now has a cedar alley.

Workers from the Syzran Refinery, together with teachers and pupils, carried out landscaping work at boarding school No. 2 for children with disabilities. The conifers will grow in the school's rehabilitation park.

Siberian cedar is a unique plant known for its medicinal properties: the plant substances in this tree have antimicrobial properties and are used to treat and prevent diseases of the respiratory, nervous and cardiovascular systems.
