Corporate volunteering is organized volunteering of employees in favor of third parties with the support of the employer. In Russia, documents on training, organization, accounting of corporate volunteering practices either are missing or are insufficiently developed, the practice of regular work on the organization of volunteer projects in the regions is poorly spread.

Corporate volunteering contributes to:

the development of soft skills among the company's employees;
interaction with the local community and other stakeholder groups on mutually beneficial terms;
strengthening the brand and forming a positive public opinion about the company;
low-budget advertising in the local community.
