2.5. Plans for further engagement with suppliers of goods, works, and services

Going forward, Nornickel plans to further develop the Questionnaire by refining its structure and questions based on the results of the annual supplier assessment and stakeholder expectations. Next year, the Company plans to conduct another supplier assessment and explore mechanisms that increase supplier engagement in sustainability matters. In addition, Nornickel will continue to advance educational initiatives aimed at raising supplier awareness of the sustainability agenda and responsible supply chain requirements. Expanded information and methodological support will help suppliers better understand and apply sustainability principles in their operations, promoting transparency and enhancing their own practices.
