Udokan Copper is one of the most modern and safe plants in the non-ferrous metallurgy industry. The company was established in 2008 for the construction of a mining and metallurgical plant for the extraction and processing of ores from the unique Udokan deposit. Back at the construction stage in 2020, Udokan Copper published its first sustainability report, stating that the principles of sustainable development underpin its activities.
The 2025 report pays equal attention to all aspects of sustainable development. Management systems, employee care, and measures to preserve ecosystems in the region are described in detail with all the main statistical data. The company is under sanctions restrictions and therefore does not publish financial statements. For this reason, the report does not disclose some of the financial indicators in the field of sustainable development. However, the main financial indicators characterizing the contribution of Udokan Copper to the development of communities, personnel and environmental protection are presented in the document, both in the descriptive part and in the specialized sections of the appendix.
The report demonstrates that minimizing the environmental impact is an absolute priority of the company's work. The document reveals how Udokan Copper consistently not only reduces its own environmental burden, but also implements programs to restore the natural ecosystems of Transbaikalia. The report contains a hyperlinked list of all key internal regulations governing environmental protection activities.
The report shows the results of the company's activities in caring for nature, supporting the Trans-Baikal Territory and developing human resources. The company pays great attention to taking care of its employees, more than 5,000 people in total. In 2025, as part of the prevention of workers' health and the implementation of preventive measures to ensure industrial safety, the company's expenses for occupational safety measures amounted to more than 380 million rubles.
The report is made in a thoughtful atmospheric design using artistic photographs of people working for the company and the amazing nature of the Trans-Baikal Territory. Most of the statistical information is included in the appendix. Some of the information and explanations are contained in the notes to the text.
The rating of non-financial reporting was assigned based on the methodology adopted by the AK&M Rating Agency.
