What was done in 2021–2024 as part of the human rights due diligence system?

Between 2021 and 2024, Nornickel adopted a number of key internal regulations, including the Human Rights Policy and the Stakeholder Engagement Policy adopted in 2021 as well as the Policy of Engagement with Indigenous Small‑Numbered Peoples updated in 2024. These documents were approved by the Board of Directors and formally set out the Company’s commitment to the principles of upholding and protecting human rights

Dedicated corporate documents, including a human rights classification and methodology, were developed to systematise and standardise the Company’s approach to identifying potential risks and impacts

A significant step in the development of the due diligence system was the first human rights risk assessment conducted in 2022, covering aspects such as the right to health, the right to work, protection from forced labour, the right to life, and fair and adequate remuneration

The Company assessed its human rights index for the first time, based on an analysis of responses from engagement surveys. Survey findings are a key tool for assessing integrated human rights risk

The first dedicated human rights courses were launched for all Company employees, including security personnel in particular

Two public standalone human rights reports for 2022 and 2023 were released. This Report is the Company’s third report reflecting the progress accumulated in this area
