Empowering Future Leaders: Sberbank’s ESG Initiative
Sberbank is actively cultivating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) awareness among university students through a series of engaging intellectual quizzes. These events, recently held in Krasnodar, Stavropol, and Simferopol, brought together over 100 students, forming teams to compete and collaborate on critical topics shaping the future.
A Multifaceted Challenge: Testing Knowledge and Sparking Dialog
Across the three cities, student teams faced off in a battle of wits, tackling questions spanning diverse fields such as ecology, artificial intelligence, geography, cinema, and social duty. This format not only assessed the participants’ knowledge but also encouraged them to engage in meaningful discussions about the pressing global challenges of our time. The quizzes provided a stimulating and enjoyable environment for students to connect with like-minded peers.
Regional Support and Career insights
The regional branches of Sberbank played a crucial role in supporting these events. Bank representatives interacted with the students, sharing their professional experiences and highlighting potential career paths within the institution. This direct engagement provided valuable insights and fostered a connection between the students and the banking sector.

Furthermore, the bank implements its own regional projects, with plans to host over 500 events this year.
