For the first time, the AK&M rating agency assigns the highest (RESG 1) assessment of reporting in the field of sustainable development to PJSC Seligdar. In accordance with the agency's methodology, the reporting of PJSC Seligdar for 2023 received 88.2 points and was assigned to the highest level. This rating is assigned to companies that have received a rating score in the range from 85 to 106.6.

The Company discloses information on sustainable development as part of a single annual report. In 2023, an updated Strategy for Sustainable Development until 2030 and a separate Strategy in the field of ecology were adopted. The report provides data on all areas of the adopted strategies.

A special place in the report is occupied by the description of efforts to form a highly professional team of employees dedicated to the company and their business. The analysis of the report shows how much attention the company's management pays to personnel issues. In addition to statistical information, the report contains a description of the innovations used in the search and retention of personnel, a list of internal documents regulating HR processes, and social programs for employees.

The section devoted to the scientific activities of PJSC Seligdar, the implementation of innovative projects and the introduction of digital technologies into production deserves attention. 

All information is presented in a single logic with a clear structure. A calm design helps to perceive information. The text is organically complemented by artistic photographs of production sites among the untouched nature of Siberia and the Far East.

Appreciating the quality of the report, the AK&M Rating Agency recommends expanding the section of the report on water use by adding data on the volume of wastewater disposal, the level of wastewater pollution and the volume of recycled water supply. For the convenience of analysts, it is also advisable to add a separate section with ESG statistics to the application.

The rating of non-financial reporting was assigned based on the methodology adopted by the AK&M Rating Agency.

The ESG reporting rating has been calculated by the AK&M Rating Agency since 2020. The focus of the research is the completeness of the presentation of information about sustainable development in reports, as well as its accessibility. The study examines 96 markers. The main purpose of the rating is to show the professional community the best practices in disclosing information about the social and environmental activities of companies.
