The particularities of ROSSETI’s and its SDCs’ operations do not involve a material adverse environmental impact that can lead to environmental disasters or cause any irreversible change to wildlife. Nevertheless, the Company takes all possible measures to protect the environment and applies the precautionary principle.

The Company developed and constantly updates the procedure for implementing voluntary mechanisms of environmental responsibility in accordance with Directive No. 1710p-P13 of March 30, 2012, approved by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

The goals and objectives of ROSSETI’s environmental responsibility are contained in the guidelines and ruling documents at the level of SDCs. The key areas of protecting the environment against the adverse impact of operating activities of the distribution grid organizations managed by ROSSETI are set forth in the Programs of Environmental Policy Implementation specifying environmental protection measures in the areas listed below:

  • air protection;
  • water protection and conservation;
  • land protection and conservation;
  • technical measures;
  • resource conservation and energy efficiency enhancement.
