And each of us is involved in positive changes — we inspire by our own example, — said Yanina Olkhovska, Head of the Brand and Communications Service, Chairman of the UKRSIBBANK Charity Fund BNP Paribas Group. — For the first time, the bank joined the charity initiative in 2014, and every year the number of participants increased.
