One in ten at the front: how Victor Pinchuk's Interpipe helps its mobilized soldiers

More than 1200 employees of Victor Pinchuk's Interpipe have served in the defense forces. More than one in ten employees has been mobilized.

These data are presented by NV in its article dedicated to the Day of Defenders of Ukraine, which analyzes how big business supports employees who have gone to the front.

Each Interpipe employee who decides to defend Ukraine receives a personal manager from the company. As soon as the full-scale invasion began, Interpipe set up a special coordination headquarters to take care of ammunition for each mobilized employee, their constant support, treatment, and rehabilitation if necessary.

"When an employee receives a call, the headquarters coordinators contact him and find out what help he needs. The employee, in turn, knows that he will not be left alone with the war, and that he is still part of the company. Now each coordinator has about 200 employees under her care," said Liudmila Novak, Interpipe's PR director and curator of military assistance.

In case of injury, the corporate clinic of Interpipe takes care of the guys. If rehabilitation is necessary, the wounded are sent to the RECOVERY centers of the Victor Pinchuk Foundation for recovery and help with prosthetics.

In addition to working with mobilized soldiers, Interpipe's headquarters takes care of their families. For example, in 2024, 150 children of employees who are currently serving in the army had a free vacation in a camp in the Carpathians. The families of the victims are not left alone with their grief either.

So far, Interpipe has lost 72 employees, 28 employees are missing, and five more are in captivity. The company pays a one-time allowance of UAH 100,000 to the family of each victim. The company stays in touch with relatives: it provides organizational assistance in processing payments, and the children of the fallen heroes always receive gifts and free summer camps on New Year's and birthdays.

Interpipe believes that helping "our own" at the front is not a charity, but a duty.
