About the Report

Nornickel plays a significant role in the social and economic development of its operating regions by creating jobs, building infrastructure, and implementing various initiatives to support local growth. However, the key factor driving the Company’s sustainable growth and success is the people living across Nornickel’s footprint. Working in the harsh climate of the Far North, Nornickel employees ensure uninterrupted production and bring ambitious projects to life. The hard work, professionalism, and dedication of its people lie at the heart of Nornickel’s achievements, driving the Company forward and securing its position as an industry leader.

Nornickel’s success would not be possible without a well‑structured system that fosters respect for every individual involved in the Company’s operations. The Company fully acknowledges its responsibilities and upholds high social standards, placing particular emphasis on protecting labour rights, ensuring safe and comfortable working environment, and supporting the professional and personal growth of its people. Nornickel firmly believes that long‑term success is only possible when every individual involved in its operations feels protected, respected, and engaged in a shared mission.

To demonstrate its commitment to international standards and national goals, the Company publishes its Human Rights Report, which complements the corporate Sustainability Report. This Report details the Company’s approach to upholding human rights, demonstrating how these principles are integrated into both daily operations and strategic initiatives. Nornickel’s 2024 Human Rights Report is the Company’s third publication of its kind, highlighting the consistency and continuity of its efforts in this area.

The Company’s Human Rights Report discloses information in compliance with the parameters and metrics outlined in key international human rights guidelines, such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB).

Disclosure boundaries in this Human Rights Report coincide with the boundaries outlined in Nornickel’s 2024 Sustainability Report in terms of key topics and aspects.
