SIBUR publishes 2020 Consolidated Report

Moscow, 5 August. SIBUR has published its inaugural Consolidated Report for 2020, combining its annual review and sustainability report into a single document. As well as reflecting the integration of sustainability into the Company’s business model and business processes, the Consolidated Report streamlines SIBUR’s annual reporting by making all relevant information available to stakeholders in one source. SIBUR plans to publish a consolidated report annually going forward.

SIBUR’s Consolidated Report for 2020 provides insights into key aspects of the Company’s business, growth strategy, corporate governance practices and performance, environmental protection and occupational health and safety, as well as engagement with staff, stakeholders and local communities. Financial metrics are disclosed in line with SIBUR’s audited annual consolidated financial statements under IFRS. Non-financial metrics are disclosed in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (Core option).

In terms of content and structure, the Consolidated Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards and also reflects feedback from public consultation with stakeholders on a draft version of the document. It also addresses the requirements of ESG rating agencies, auditor recommendations following an independent audit of the 2019 sustainability report and recommendations of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Council on Non-Financial Reporting. In addition, the report aligns with UN Global Compact requirements, the UN Sustainable Development Goals and TCFD and SASB global guidelines. Sustainability data included in the report was verified by an independent audit.

Dmitry Konov, Chairman of the Management Board at SIBUR Holding:

"It is fair to say that 2020 was a difficult year for businesses, and SIBUR was no exception. I am proud to say that we stood to the challenges we faced and continued to grow amid the pandemic and high market volatility. All of our projects remained on track, and the ramp-up of ZapSibNeftekhim to full operational capacity represented a major milestone on our journey to becoming a global industry leader.

“Today, we are transitioning to an ESG-driven strategy and governance framework, which will enable SIBUR to grow into one of the most sustainable and responsible players in the industry, for the benefit of all our stakeholders. The publication of our first consolidated report, which details the progress we have made in achieving our long-term financial and non-financial goals, as well as our contribution to the development of SIBUR’s regions of presence and the wider petrochemicals industry, is an important step in the delivery of this strategy.”
