Nornickel has established a data collection system that enables aggregating data across the Group’s Business UnitIn total, the Nornickel Group consists of more than 100 Russian and foreign entities.on the Company’s most significant sustainability impacts. The boundaries of information consolidation as part of GRIdisclosure in the Report may vary and depend on whether a particular entity has economic, environmental, and social impacts. Any exceptions from the boundaries of specific indicators, including changes for prior reporting periods, are invariably explained either directly in the text of the Report or in footnotes.
The criteria for including an entity in the scope of data collection depend on the specific indicator and are set out in the Company’s internal documents.
Examples of criteria for economic and production indicators include mining, ore concentration, metals production, inclusion of an entity in the consolidated financial statements; for environmental indicators – completion of statutory statistical reporting forms; for personnel‑related indicators – the entity’s average headcount, etc.
The reporting boundaries include data from the Company’s Russian business units, whose specific names are not disclosed in the text of the Report due to the current geopolitical situation. Currently, the ability to collect, independently verify, and disclose information on the Company’s Foreign Business Units is limited. The Group’s only significant foreign production entity, which makes part of the Polar Division, discloses sustainability data on its official websiteas a separate set of indicators (ESG Databook). Other Foreign Business Units are insignificant in terms of sustainability impacts.
Furthermore, the reporting boundaries do not include investment assets that are outside the Group’s control unless they form a significant part of the Group’s production chain. In 2024, the Company did not carry out any major mergers or acquisitions that would have a substantial impact on the reporting boundaries. No significant changes from prior periods in terms of scope, boundaries, or measurement methods applied in this Report were recorded.
