Our Approach

Petropavlovsk recognises that a successful business is one that is sustainable and is supported by the communities within which it works. Our approach is to respect the communities that host our operations and to undertake our business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. By creating a sustainable business, we help to make a successful business.

We aim to operate such that we avoid causing harm to employees, the environment and local communities. As such we are committed to:

• Managing our operations to ensure the health safety and security of employees, contractors and local communities and to limit negative impacts on the surrounding environment. In planning its approach to business, we recognise that we have duties to shareholders and responsibilities to a wider group of stakeholders (those who can affect or who are affected by our activities);

• Undertaking all our operations in compliance with Russian regulatory requirements and international good practice; and

• Going beyond legal compliance where necessary to protect our workers, the surrounding environment and the communities within which we operate.
