Following the principle of openness, the Company discloses new indicators, such as the share of eco-friendly products, renewable energy consumption, and tax payments in the countries of its presence.
Compliance of the Report with the requirements of the GRI Guidelines and the reliability of the presented information are confirmed by KPMG, one of the world's leading accounting firms. The document is also certified by the Council for Non-Financial Reporting of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
