Dialog with Stakeholders | Sustainable Development | ROSSETI

The sustainability policy is considered by the Company to be an instrument for reaching ROSSETI’s strategic objectives: resource conservation and a reliable electricity supply.

The basic principles of ROSSETI’s sustainability policy are to achieve a balance in securing social and economic interests in the Company’s operations and focus on the aspects of sustainable development that are of paramount importance for the Company’s stakeholders

Regular communication with stakeholders plays an important role because they allow a better understanding of their expectations and use a targeted approach to the formation of the agenda in relation to corporate social responsibility. This dialog uses such channels of communication as participation in conferences and exhibitions, multilateral discussions, publications in the media.

As provided for in the applicable laws, the Company discloses information on its corporate website and through the authorized news agency, stock exchange, and printed media. The channels of disclosure are described in more detail in Corporate Governance (Information Policy).
