Thanks to Bashneft's (a subsidiary of Rosneft) support, the Square of the Discoverers of Bashkir Oil was reconstructed in Ishimbay. The grand opening of the square was timed to coincide with a Town Day.

Reconstruction and improvement of one of the town's favourite recreational spots were carried out within the framework of the Cooperation Agreement between Rosneft and the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Rosneft is committed to the principles of social responsibility and pays special attention to creating a favourable social environment in the regions of operation. Ishimbay is one of the industrial centers of the south of Bashkortostan and the earliest centre of the republic's oil industry. Commercial production of Bashkir oil began here in 1932. А monument, which became its symbol, a twelve-meter granite figure of a geologist, was installed on the main square of the town in 1969.

The concept of large-scale renovation of the central square of Ishimbay, where about 70 thousand people live, was developed based on the wishes of the inhabitants. The renovated square now has an amphitheatre for cultural events, recreation areas with benches, swings and canopies, and a large modern playground for children. Now the territory of the square is also accessible for people with disabilities. The area around the square is planted with fruit trees and shrubs. The reconstruction included the installation of energy efficient lighting and upgraded utilities. Asphalt sidewalk and sidewalk tiles were also replaced.

Over the past five years, with the support of Bashneft, significant social projects have been implemented in the Ishimbaysky District, including the reconstruction of the district hospital in the village of Petrovskoye, the renovation of the children’s clinic and secondary school No. 3 in Ishimbay.
