Moscow, 30 April 2025. The Board of Directors of PAO NOVATEK (“NOVATEK” and/or the
“Company”) approved the 2024 Sustainability Report (the “Report”).
The central idea of the Report is “More affordable and reliable energy for the benefit of society”.
In the context of the energy transition, NOVATEK sees itself taking the role of a supplier of the
cleanest fossil fuel and plans to ramp up natural gas production while maintaining an unwavering
focus on improving carbon efficiency to provide affordable and reliable energy to the growing
global population.
Today, NOVATEK ranks as one of the top oil and gas companies worldwide in terms of not only
production, but also carbon efficiency, limited employee turnover, and low work-related injury
rate. In 2024, direct greenhouse gas emission intensity from our LNG production decreased by
7% to 0.224 tCO₂e per ton of LNG. The lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) was reduced by
7% to 0.26. The employee turnover remained at 5%.
With the expansion of its business, our Company is able to increase its sustainability investments
across a variety of areas, including environmental initiatives, support for regions where we
operate, and social projects. In 2024, we raised our sustainability investments by 22% to
RR 23 billion.
The Report was prepared in accordance with major international and Russian standards and
recommendations. All of the Report’s fifteen material topics were identified based on double
materiality principle. The independent external auditor provided limited assurance on
168 indicators, which is the maximum value among Russian oil and gas companies.
