Social responsibility
For us, social responsibility is one of the most important pillars of the company's sustainable development. VK's social strategy is aimed at creating a safe, inclusive, and technologically advanced environment for all users. We integrate the principles of social responsibility into all areas of our operations, guided by the following key priorities:
User and Data Security
Protecting user data is a top priority for VK. We are constantly improving our security system by developing our own technologies. VK was the first Russian IT company to launch Bug Bounty programs on all major domestic vulnerability reporting platforms.
Accessibility of Services and Projects to a Wide Audience
VK creates and develops products and services to ensure maximum convenience for all users. We are constantly improving digital accessibility, taking into account the needs of people with various disabilities and time constraints. In addition, we regularly hold inclusive events, ensuring that venues are accessible to people with limited mobility and providing Russian Sign Language interpretation of presentations.
Social Project Development
For 12 years, the VK Dobro charity service has been encouraging users to actively participate in charitable initiatives, providing systematic support for nonprofit projects throughout Russia. Meanwhile, the VK Dobro for Business division helps companies launch charitable initiatives, supporting projects at every stage.
Infrastructure Support for Charitable Foundations
VK provides charitable foundations and nonprofit organizations free access to its own technological infrastructure: from communication services and cloud storage to tools for automating operations and maintaining records. Verification on VK Dobro allows nonprofit organizations to carry out joint projects with the company's products.
Addressing Important Social Issues and Raising Awareness
VK places special emphasis on contemporary social challenges, believing that informing the public is the first step toward effectively addressing them. The company runs awareness campaigns that help engage a broad audience in charitable initiatives.
Every November, VK runs an awareness campaign called “Cyberbullying Awareness Month”. In 2025, it was supported by the Russian Ministry of Education.

Training and Educational Development
VK runs free educational programs for young people in high‑demand IT, digital, and creative fields. Schools and college students learn from industry experts using practical case studies and VK’s technologies. The top participants in these programs have the opportunity to complete an internship and join the VK Team.

The company's activities in this area are aimed at minimizing its environmental footprint, improving the energy efficiency of its infrastructure, and implementing initiatives to promote the rational use of resources. VK promotes a culture of respect for nature by spreading the message of sustainable development through its digital resources and internal corporate programs.
