Kazchrome recognizes support of local communities as one of the key priorities of its activities. The Company is committed to ensuring sustainable development of the regions where it operates through:
- Ongoing dialog with local communities
- Compliance with international environmental standards
- Improving the life quality of the population
- Development of entrepreneurial environment in the regions
The company uses environmental management systems that comply with international standards to manage its environmental impact. All major projects and changes in production undergo:
- Comprehensive environmental impact assessment
- Public hearings in accordance with Kazakhstani legislation and international norms

One of Kazchrome's branches, the Aktobe Ferroalloys Plant, became the first enterprise in the industry to organize regular industrial tours for the public. This pioneering initiative allows guests not only to learn about the full cycle of ferroalloy production, but also to assess the scope and effectiveness of environmental programs
Industrial tours have become an important element of the company's transparency policy and contribute to the formation of a fair presentation of modern metallurgical production.
As part of the Zhasyl Kazchrome corporate movement, the company's employees annually participate in large-scale greening campaigns. Since 2019, with the support of the company, the Dobrolapy project aimed at reducing the number of stray animals in a humane manner has been successfully implemented.
