VK invests its technologies and expertise in social projects across Russia
We explore important social issues in detail. We believe that recognizing a problem is the first step to solving it, and we want to involve as many people in charity work as possible. That's why we create awareness campaigns to help children and adults going through difficult times - those who couldn't do it without our support.

Making our projects accessible to everyone
VK creates and grows projects that are most convenient for all users. This is why we work hard to increase
digital accessibility catering to the needs of people with permanent and temporary disabilities. We also host
inclusive events like VK Fest, VK JT, VK Inclusivity and others, offering additional accessibility of our platforms
to people with reduced mobility and translating content into Russian Sign Language.
Training specialists in IT, digital and creative industries
Every year we hold 100+ free educational projects across more than 30 popular IT, digital and creative roles.
We train about 200,000 school and university students annually through free VK Education educational projects.
Future specialists can choose an asynchronous open course or a university-based educational project. Training
for creative industry roles is available on the
Prostor platform.

The security of our users and their data is our number one priority. We are constantly improving our defense
systems, and this process involves bringing in external cybersecurity experts. VK became the first company in Russia
to employ all existing vulnerability search platforms in the country, with total payments to security researchers
exceeding RUB 38 million in 2023.

We do our best to ensure our projects are eco-friendly. Our approach to protecting the environment is
outlined in VK’s Environmental Policy.

increasing energy efficiency and reducing costs. Additionally, Dobro features a section with various environmental projects.
Helping businesses be socially responsible

into life social initiatives of any scale ranging from a charitable project to a CSR strategy. We can develop a support project, social marketing program or a research on a pressing social issue and help you select a trusted charitable foundation.
