The Norilsk Nickel Group’s Responsible Supply Chain Report (the “Report”) covers the Company’s production assets located in RussiaThe Report covers the Group’s Russian entities..

Until September 2024, the organisational structure of the Company’s production assets in Russia included the following divisions: Norilsk, Kola, and Trans‑Baikal.

In September 2024, two divisions – Norilsk and Kola, which comprised the Group’s core operating assets – were merged into the Polar Division to enhance Nornickel’s operational efficiency and financial stability, streamline internal processes, and break down organisational silos. The updated organisational structure of the Company’s production assets now includes the Polar and Trans‑Baikal Divisions.

The production processes of each division are described in more detail in MMC Norilsk Nickel’s 2024 Annual Report and the Norilsk Nickel Group’s 2024 Sustainability Report, as well as in the relevant sections of the Company’s corporate website.

"In the context of rapidly changing market demands, supply chain management is not only a key driver of sustainable business growth but also an essential lever for ensuring safety and efficiency. At Nornickel, we systematically apply sustainability standards at every stage of the supply chain. This enables us to comply with regulatory requirements and industry standards while building long‑term partnerships with our suppliers.

We expect our contractors to follow the same principles of workplace safety, environmental responsibility, and respect for human rights, as set out in our Supplier Code of Conduct. Incorporating mandatory health and safety requirements into contractual arrangements, along with conducting due diligence on suppliers, helps ensure effective risk management and transparency across the entire supply chain.

The development of responsible supply chains is not just a challenge but a strategic opportunity to build a safe, environmentally focused, socially responsible, and competitive business capable of adapting to the evolving demands of today’s global market".
