An environmental cleanup of the Volga River banks took place in Saratov.
Employees of the Saratov branch of Rosselkhozbank, together with the Ecology Foundation and representatives of Rosprirodnadzor, conducted a cleanup along the Volga River in Saratov's Gagarinsky District. The event was held under the motto "Ecology is Everyone's Business."
The main goal of the campaign was to preserve the cleanliness and natural beauty of the riverbank of one of the country's main rivers. During the event, volunteers collected trash and installed information boards and benches with trash cans made from recycled plastic. These products are durable and long-lasting—they will serve residents for over 50 years, reminding them of the importance of caring for nature.
Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation, noted: "Today, we see how simple steps—participating in cleanups, sorting waste, and setting up eco-points—are shaping a new environmental mindset. Such initiatives bring people together and make it clear that everyone's contribution truly matters. Ecology isn't a one-time initiative, but a way of life that begins with caring for your yard, street, and city."
"Participation in such initiatives has become a good tradition for the Rosselkhozbank team. We are pleased that, thanks to the Ecology Foundation and the support of Rosprirodnadzor, we can make a real contribution to improving the environmental situation in our region. I am confident that such events inspire not only the participants but also the surrounding community," emphasized Alexey Shmelev, Director of the Saratov Regional Branch of Rosselkhozbank.
The event took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere. After the cleanup, participants exchanged ideas for developing green initiatives in the city.
Employees of the Saratov Russian Agricultural Bank are regular participants in environmental and charitable activities. Previously, they planted trees, released fish into ponds, supported the animal shelter they sponsor, and participated in waste recycling campaigns.
Rosselkhozbank and the Ecology Foundation will continue to implement projects aimed at fostering a culture of respect for nature and engaging residents of the region in initiatives that make life cleaner, greener, and kinder.
