Keeping the memory alive: GMCS begins cooperation with the "White Iris" Charitable Foundation

GMCS (part of the MT-Integration Group) announces the start of its cooperation with the "White Iris" Charitable Foundation for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage. This partnership marks a new stage in the development of the company's corporate social responsibility and is aimed at supporting historical and religious sites across Russia.

The White Iris Foundation is engaged in the preservation, restoration, and popularization of architectural monuments—primarily churches and objects of religious significance, which are an integral part of the country's cultural landscape. The name of the foundation is symbolic: in the Christian tradition, the iris is often associated with purity, hope, and light, and in heraldry, it symbolizes good news. The white color embodies the dignity and value of the foundation’s goals and the desire to preserve spiritual and cultural foundations.

"The foundation of our philanthropy is enduring values: health, childhood, family. We see how society is increasingly turning to the search for deeper meanings, to its roots and spiritual foundations. It is fundamentally important for us to cooperate with organizations whose mission aligns with this need. Churches are not just buildings; they are vessels of our identity, imprinted in stone and wood—living witnesses of history. This partnership is particularly valuable because many of the monuments supported by the White Iris Foundation are located in regions where our branches operate. This allows us to make a real, tangible contribution to the development of the areas that are home to many of our employees," said Iya Kuznetsova, Vice President of GMCS.

This partnership underscores GMCS's commitment to a sustainable development strategy, through which the company's technological potential is directed not only toward commercial projects but also toward significant public initiatives. Supporting the White Iris Foundation is a contribution to the country's cultural sovereignty and historical memory.

"We are sincerely pleased that GMCS, a company with serious technological expertise, has joined our mission. We greatly value such strong corporate partners. We are confident that GMCS's modern IT solutions, including those using artificial intelligence, will become powerful tools in our shared effort to preserve Russia's unique heritage," commented Olga Shitova, Head of the White Iris Foundation.

The White Iris Charitable Foundation for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage works to identify, study, preserve, and restore cultural heritage sites, primarily monuments of religious architecture, and conducts educational outreach. The Foundation implements projects in various regions of Russia, engaging experts, volunteers, and partners to preserve the nation's historical legacy.
