joining top-tier Ukrainian employers
Together with SCM, DTEK signed the Human Capital Resilience Charter in support of workforce and veterans.
It is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and the National Bank of Ukraine. Leading international institutions, including the EBRD, the Folke Bernadotte Academy, and Korn Ferry, support its implementation.
Launched in response to the profound disruptions caused by russia’s full-scale invasion, the Charter establishes a new paradigm for responsible human capital governance rooted in dignity, inclusion, and long-term resilience. It serves as an institutional anchor for aligning policy, business, and international cooperation around people-centered economic growth.
At the URC it was officially introduced as an institutional framework designed to guide the renewal of Ukraine’s labor market in alignment with international best practices and inclusive economic principles.
DTEK and UK-based Octopus Energy launched the RISE investment initiative to bring solar-powered resilience to Ukrainian businesses.
The goal is to attract EUR 100 mln in investments to fund 100 energy efficiency projects for Ukrainian businesses — specifically, the deployment of solar power plants with battery energy storage systems (PV + BESS).
These projects will be delivered by D.Solutions (operating under brand YASNO).
