How much did the company's carbon footprint decrease in 2022?
Regular assessment and reduction of its carbon footprint is an important performance indicator for any company striving for sustainable development. Nornickel assesses the volume of greenhouse gas emissions – carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and methane – on a regular basis. In 2022, there were three reasons for Nornickel’s reduced emissions:
- CHPs’ operation was optimized,
- HPPs’ share of electricity increased,
- Heating period was shorter due to the early spring.

How does Nornickel assess the impact of its operations on the ecosystem?
There are various methods to assess ecosystem impacts, but not all of them are trustworthy. The characteristic features of a project that is in line with the ESG strategy include a systematic approach with the involvement of independent scientists and the development of an assessment methodology.
Every year, Nornickel initiates the Great Scientific Expedition to the Arctic and Transbaikal. Scientists collect data on northern animals and plants, water, soil and air composition, and use such data to draw conclusions about any changes in ecosystems.
It was identified that nature reserves are also affected by harmful impacts. Following the research, Nornickel closed two facilities that used obsolete technology: the smelting shop in the settlement of Nickel and the refining site in Monchegorsk.
The results of scientific research are posted by the company on the Preserving Nature Portal

Which Nornickel ESG project is one of the most challenging and significant on a nationwide scale?
Any project aimed at reducing the hazardous emissions of a production facility falls under the category of sustainable development projects. Typically, the more complex and expensive the project, the longer it takes. These projects have pronounced effects that can be assessed.
The Sulphur Program is a large-scale initiative of Nornickel under the Federal Clean Air Project. It is aimed at generating positive social and environmental effects rather than commercial profits. The program involves a phased reduction of Sulphur Dioxide emissions in the Norilsk Industrial District and the Kola Peninsula, as well as the establishment of environmentally friendly operations.
The strong environmental impact of the Sulphur Program will boost the natural environment and, as a result, improve the quality of life of the local population. In October 2023, Nornickel launched the Sulphur Program at the Nadezhda Smelter.

What is the correct name of the amateur hockey development project , of which Nornickel is the general partner?
There are sports, tourism, various festivals and communication venues that keep residents from moving away. In addition, sports activities improve their health. Therefore, if such initiatives have a systematic and multi-year character, they become important elements in the process of sustainable urban development.
The Night League brings together thousands of hockey fans from different regions and is the largest amateur sports project, both in the country and in the world. The League contributes to sports infrastructure development: new ice arenas are built every year in the cities where the winners of the All-Russian Festival of Night Hockey League teams play.
As a general partner, Nornickel participates in all large-scale league projects aimed at developing and promoting amateur hockey. For example, every year, charity hockey matches with the participation of world-class stars are held in Norilsk with the support of the company. The proceeds from these events are doubled by Nornickel and allocated to the development of children's sports schools.
In the 2023 season, the company's Norilsk team made its debut in the professional All-Russian League.

What IT technology helps Nornickel control its environmental impact?
IT and any other technologies that help control environmental impacts can be safely considered as ESG tools.
Nornickel is using a digital twin. It is a digital model of any object, system or process. It reproduces the shape and actions of the original in a synchronized manner. Nornickel is developing a prototype of an environmental monitoring system based on a digital twin of the Nadezhda Smelter.
The pilot will be the first step towards creation of a comprehensive information and analytical system that will be able to calculate environmental impact indicators for any facilities using a unified methodology. The system will interpret and verify the data received, generate forecasts and reports, and create mathematical and simulation models of ecological processes.

What share of the company's IT infrastructure is made of solutions based on imported software?
Nornikel's digitalization priority is to ensure technological independence which is an important aspect of the company's ESG strategy.
By the end of 2022, the share of IT systems based on imported software was 18%. A third of them require replacement, while the rest can be used for several years without significant risks.
A special testing laboratory was set up at the Polar Division to test domestic process control systems. Over 360 manufacturers of 119 main groups of measuring instruments were selected from Russian organisations. For example, the Nucleonic Density Meter PR-1K was tested in a real production environment at the Medvezhiy Ruchey site.

Which of the metals produced by Nornickel plays an important role in developing a green economy and the fight against climate change?
From a sustainable development perspective, it is not so much about what is produced, but how it is used. Copper is a critical metal for the transition to a low-carbon economy. It is indispensable for the construction of solar and wind power plants. Along with Cobalt, Nickel is used in the manufacture of rechargeable batteries for the development of electric vehicles.
Nornickel is planning to produce lithium at the Kolmozerskoye deposit in partnership with Rosatom. This metal is essential for manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries.
The company is carrying out R&D projects and developing new solutions in order to find efficient ways to use in-house produced metals in the green economy. In addition, Nornickel is seeking to expand the list of metals and the scope of their application for sustainable development and environmental protection. For example, Palladium can be used for water disinfection.
