Corporate Trust Line

In 2010, Nornickel set up its Corporate Trust Line (the “CTL”) to provide the Group’s managers with objective and reliable information about identified cases of abuse, theft, corruption, fraud, and other violations in a timely manner to support effective decision making. This enables timely and prompt response to identified issues and helps prevent their recurrence.

Stakeholders may also report any violations of law and the Company’s internal policies to the CTL. Reports may be submitted anonymously and are handled in such a way as to ensure confidentiality, objectivity, and impartiality and to prevent retaliation against whistleblowers.

In addition, issues may be reported to the Corporate Trust Line using virtual assistants on the Nika and Supernika Nika and Supernika are platforms aimed at creating a shared digital environment for Company employees, including a feedback feature. platforms. This service is available to employees of the Group’s entities.

Reports are handled in accordance with the Company’s approved Procedure for the Corporate Trust Line. Report statistics are reviewed by the Board’s Audit Committee and published in Nornickel’s sustainability reports. CTL reports are also sent to the Group’s entities.

In 2024, the CTL received 52 reports from contractor and subcontractor employees, classified under the Responsible Sourcing topic. This topic covers complaints and reports containing information about violations committed by employees of suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors working at the Company’s facilities or providing services to the Group’s entities. For all the reports containing confirmed violations, corrective actions were taken to remedy the situation and eliminate negative consequences.
