Ukraine’s Economy Ministry and Four Major Banks Launch the Next Phase of the Human Capital Resilience Charter

Next Phase of the Human Capital Resilience Charter Begins

According to Мін. Економіки: Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy, together with four leading banks, has kicked off a new stage of the Human Capital Resilience Charter. A Letter of Intent was signed at URC 2026 in Gdańsk by Raiffeisen Bank, UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group, JSC 'Ukrgasbank', and Sense Bank. Originally launched a year ago at URC 2025, the Charter now enters a phase focused on turning its principles into concrete actions.

Key Initiatives Under the Charter

Planned initiatives include building the HCR Toolkit Library - a collection of practical solutions for employers to support inclusive workplace practices. A community of companies leading in inclusive HR will also be formed, along with a Banking Committee made up of the signatories. Sector-specific and thematic committees are expected to be created across other parts of the economy. Additionally, the initiative will develop a framework to assess how well companies are implementing the Charter’s principles.

“This past year was about shaping the vision and mechanisms for implementation. Today, we shift into action - creating a tool that helps businesses put the Charter’s principles into practice.” - Daryna Marchak.

This next stage of the Human Capital Resilience Charter marks a significant step forward for inclusive practices in Ukraine.

The launch underscores the country’s growing focus on inclusion and human capital development. By establishing a library of practical resources and forming committees across various economic sectors, the initiative aims to improve HR practices and help businesses adopt inclusive strategies. It has the potential to positively impact the labor market - particularly in attracting and retaining talent across industries.

As Ukraine embarks on this new phase of the Human Capital Resilience Charter, it is crucial to recognize the broader economic context. Recently, the government approved a substantial investment strategy worth $270 billion that runs through 2029, highlighting the nation's commitment to fostering growth and development. This alignment between human capital initiatives and significant financial investment reinforces the importance of inclusive practices in driving economic resilience and attracting talent.
