For the second year in a row, DTEK Oil&Gas has ranked No. 1 among oil and gas producing companies in corporate reputation management "Reputation activists". The assessment and ranking was done by the expert board, which included petroleum experts, analysts, journalists, and editors of the leading Ukrainian media.

As stated by the ranking organizers, oil and gas production industry is one of the key sectors of the Ukrainian economy: in 2017 , the industry's companies have paid 74.6 billion UAH of taxes, which is 28% more than last year, and is almost 10% of the State budget revenues.

The General Director of DTEK Oil&Gas, Igor Shchurov, has highlighted that the reputation of the industry consists of many variables, and the responsibility for the industry's reputation on the international and internal arenas is equally distributed between the producers and the Government. "The first factor is the industry's business-environment. We are talking about the market and its ethical standards, responsible communication with the locals, development of the service ecosystem, etc. The second factor is the reputability of the companies themselves. And the third factor is, I would say, the key one in our case, – the regulatory framework, since the industry can only develop in the clear, predictable and effective regulatory field."
