En+ Group 2017 Annual Report En+ Group 2017 Annual Report En+ Group | 2017 Annual Report About the Report In this Annual Report, the terms “En+”, “En+ Group”, “we”, the “Company” and the “Group” in various forms shall mean En+ Group plc and its subsidiaries whose results are included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. This is the Annual Report of En+ Group plc. The Annual Report explains the Company’s strategy, business model, internal control and risk management processes currently in place. These documents, however, are being constantly reviewed and internally updated given the uncertainty, created by the imposition of certain limitations by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury (OFAC). The Company, thus, considers that it is not in a position to provide a comprehensive performance outlook due to the magnitude of the OFAC sanctions and their potential effect on the Group’s operations and business performance. The Corporate Governance section covers the role and activities of the Board of Directors (BoD), committees of the BoD and management team in running the business. The detailed Financials, accompanied by a report from the Group’s auditors, complete the Annual Report. Unless stated otherwise, financial results included in the 2017 Annual Report are presented and calculated based on the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. Some numbers in the tables, charts and diagrams hereof may differ from the sums of addends due to rounding. The En+ Group Annual Report was approved by the Board of Directors on 27 April 2018. 2 En+ Group | 2017 Annual Report WARNING The information presented in this Annual Report only reflects the Company’s position during the review period from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 (the “Review Period”) pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules (“LR”) published by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) in its capacity as competent authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) and the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (“DTRs”) (the LR and the DTR together being the “Rules”) (unless otherwise specified). Accordingly, all forward-looking statements, analyses, reviews, discussions, commentaries and risks presented in this Annual Report (save for this Warning, “Recent Development of the Company” and “Corporate Governance” sections and unless otherwise specified) are based upon the financial information of the Company covering the Review Period only and not thereafter. Shareholders and potential investors should be aware that on 6 April 2018, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (the “U.S. Treasury”) designated, amongst others, certain persons and certain companies which are controlled or deemed to be controlled by some of these persons to be added to its Specially Designated Nationals List (the “OFAC Sanctions”). The designated persons/entities include Mr. Oleg Deripaska, a non-executive director of the Company and its ultimate beneficial owner, the Company, United Company RUSAL Plc. (the “UC RUSAL”), JSC Eurosibenergo and two of the Company’s direct major shareholders, B-Finance Ltd., a BVI company, and Basic Element Limited, a Jersey company, each controlled by Mr. Deripaska. A press statement issued by the U.S. Treasury in respect of the OFAC Sanctions on 6 April 2018 states that: “All assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction of the designated individuals and entities, and of any other entities blocked by operation of law as a result of their ownership by a sanctioned party, are frozen, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealings with them. Additionally, non-U.S. persons could face sanctions for knowingly facilitating significant transactions for or on behalf of the individuals or entities blocked today.” As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 9 April 2018, the Company’s initial assessment is that it is highly likely that the impact of the OFAC Sanctions on the Group may be materially adverse to the business and prospects of the Group. The Company is currently in the process of conducting further evaluation to assess the impact of the OFAC Sanctions on the Group and is closely monitoring the development. Further announcements will be published by the Company as and when appropriate in accordance with the requirements of the Rules and applicable laws and regulations. Shareholders and potential investors should be aware that the information presented in this Annual Report (save for this Warning, the “Recent Development of the Company” and “Corporate Governance” sections, and unless otherwise specified) does not take into account the OFAC Sanctions or any potential impact which the OFAC Sanctions may have on the Company or the Group. Accordingly, the information presented in this Annual Report (save for this “Warning”, the “Recent Development of the Company” and “Corporate Governance” sections, and unless otherwise specified), including but not limited to all forward-looking statements, analyses, reviews, discussions, commentaries and risks, does not reflect the latest position (financial or otherwise) of the Group. Given the global nature of the business of the Group, the international politico-economic dimension of the OFAC Sanctions and the potential cross-jurisdictional implications of the OFAC Sanctions, this matter is continually evolving. GDR holders, shareholders and potential investors are, therefore, strongly advised to make reference to the latest announcements (i.e. announcements issued by the Company on and after 9 April 2018) issued by the Company before dealing in the securities of the Company. GDR holders, shareholders and potential investors should exercise extreme caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. If in doubt, they are strongly advised to consult their stockbrokers, bank managers, solicitors and/or other professional advisers before dealing in the securities of the Company. 3 En+ Group | 2017 Annual Report Contents Recent Development of the Company ....................................................................................................... 5 Key figures ................................................................................................................................................... 6 Business Model and Strategy ..................................................................................................................... 7 Chairman’s Statement ................................................................................................................................ 8 Operational Performance ........................................................................................................................... 9 Metals Segment ........................................................................................................................................ 9 Market Overview................................................................................................................................... 9 Business Overview .............................................................................................................................. 11 Assets Overview .................................................................................................................................. 17 Energy Segment ..................................................................................................................................... 18 Market Overview................................................................................................................................. 18 Business Overview .............................................................................................................................. 20 Assets Overview .................................................................................................................................. 22 Management Discussion and Analysis ..................................................................................................... 23 Corporate Social Responsibility ............................................................................................................... 50 Internal Control and Risk Management ................................................................................................. 57 Internal Control .................................................................................................................................... 57 Risk Management .................................................................................................................................. 58 Corporate Governance ............................................................................................................................. 62 Board of Directors ................................................................................................................................. 63 Management Team ................................................................................................................................ 66 Board Responsibilities .......................................................................................................................... 67 Committees ...........................................................................................................................................

First, it conducts a survey of past and present Northern Sea Route (NSR) cargo flows. Then follow discussions of the route’s commercial potential as a transit route, as well as of its economic importance and relevance for each of the Russian Arctic regions. These discussions are summarized by estimates of what types and volumes of NSR cargoes that can realistically be expected in the period 2000-2015. This is then followed by a survey of the status quo of the NSR infrastructure (above all the ice-breakers, ice-class cargo vessels and ports), with estimates of its future capacity. Based on the estimated future NSR cargo potential, future NSR infrastructure requirements are calculated and compared with the estimated capacity in order to identify the main, future infrastructure bottlenecks for NSR operations. The information presented in the report is mainly compiled from data and research results that were published through the International Northern Sea Route Programme (INSROP) 1993-99, but considerable updates have been made using recent information, statistics and analyses from various sources.

Meanwhile, relationships between different demographic parameters are of general interest. Tolstikhina et al. (Tolstikhina, Gavrikov, Khlebopros, Okhonin, 2013) showed that fertility and life expectancy are negatively correlated among countries of the world. The same relationship of fertility and life expectancy has been studied by us in this research at an intraregional level through the example of Krasnoyarsk Territory. The demographic data from 1995 to 2013 have been used to describe dynamics of the relationship. The main method used was weighted fitting of the data by a linear function, with weights being the population of the territory administrative regions. No statistically significant relationship between the fertility and female life expectancy has been found in 1995, i.e.

  • Russia's Arctic Cities
    ? chapter one Russia’s Arctic Cities Recent Evolution and Drivers of Change Colin Reisser Siberia and the Far North fi gure heavily in Russia’s social, political, and economic development during the last fi ve centuries. From the beginnings of Russia’s expansion into Siberia in the sixteenth century through the present, the vast expanses of land to the north repre- sented a strategic and economic reserve to rulers and citizens alike. While these reaches of Russia have always loomed large in the na- tional consciousness, their remoteness, harsh climate, and inaccessi- bility posed huge obstacles to eff ectively settling and exploiting them. The advent of new technologies and ideologies brought new waves of settlement and development to the region over time, and cities sprouted in the Russian Arctic on a scale unprecedented for a region of such remote geography and harsh climate. Unlike in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of other countries, the Russian Far North is highly urbanized, containing 72 percent of the circumpolar Arctic population (Rasmussen 2011). While the largest cities in the far northern reaches of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland have maximum populations in the range of 10,000, Russia has multi- ple cities with more than 100,000 citizens. Despite the growing public focus on the Arctic, the large urban centers of the Russian Far North have rarely been a topic for discussion or analysis. The urbanization of the Russian Far North spans three distinct “waves” of settlement, from the early imperial exploration, expansion of forced labor under Stalin, and fi nally to the later Soviet development 2 | Colin Reisser of energy and mining outposts.

  • Monitoring Oil Spill in Norilsk, Russia Using Satellite Data Sankaran Rajendran1*, Fadhil N
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Monitoring oil spill in Norilsk, Russia using satellite data Sankaran Rajendran1*, Fadhil N. Sadooni1, Hamad Al‑Saad Al‑Kuwari1, Anisimov Oleg2, Himanshu Govil3, Sobhi Nasir4 & Ponnumony Vethamony1 This paper studies the oil spill, which occurred in the Norilsk and Taimyr region of Russia due to the collapse of the fuel tank at the power station on May 29, 2020. We monitored the snow, ice, water, vegetation and wetland of the region using data from the Multi‑Spectral Instruments (MSI) of Sentinel‑2 satellite. We analyzed the spectral band absorptions of Sentinel‑2 data acquired before, during and after the incident, developed true and false‑color composites (FCC), decorrelated spectral bands and used the indices, i.e. Snow Water Index (SWI), Normalized Diference Water Index (NDWI) and Normalized Diference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The results of decorrelated spectral bands 3, 8, and 11 of Sentinel‑2 well confrmed the results of SWI, NDWI, NDVI, and FCC images showing the intensive snow and ice melt between May 21 and 31, 2020. We used Sentinel‑2 results, feld photographs, analysis of the 1980–2020 daily air temperature and precipitation data, permafrost observations and modeling to explore the hypothesis that either the long‑term dynamics of the frozen ground, changing climate and environmental factors, or abnormal weather conditions may have caused or contributed to the collapse of the oil tank. Te oil spill detection and tracking through satellite sensors have remarkable advances in utilizing the visible, shortwave to thermal infrared (optical) and the microwave radar bands. Surface identifcation and mapping of an oil spill are essential to evaluate the potential spread and foat from the source to the adjacent areas or endpoints1,2.

E-mail: [email protected] Institute of Economy and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Department of the Russian Academy of Sci- ences, Kransnoyarsk, Russia Abstract. The article considers the main prerequisites and the directions of development of Northern and Arctic areas of the Krasnoyarsk Krai based on creation of reliable local transport and power infrastructure and formation of hi-tech and competitive territorial clusters. We examine both the current (new large min- ing and processing works in the Norilsk industrial region; development of Ust-Eniseysky group of oil and gas fields; gasification of the Krasnoyarsk agglomeration with the resources of bradenhead gas of Evenkia; ren- ovation of housing and public utilities of the Norilsk agglomeration; development of the Arctic and north- ern tourism and others), and earlier considered, but rejected, projects (construction of a large hydroelectric power station on the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river; development of the Porozhinsky manganese field; place- ment of the metallurgical enterprises using the Norilsk ores near Lower Angara region; construction of the meridional Yenisei railroad and others) and their impact on the development of the region. It is shown that in new conditions it is expedient to return to consideration of these projects with the use of modern tech- nologies and organizational approaches. It means, above all, formation of the local integrated regional pro- duction systems and networks providing interaction and cooperation of the fuel and raw, processing and innovative sectors.

  • Arctic Entrepreneurship Development Factors
    Alexander N. Pilyasov1* 1 Institute of Regional Consulting, Moscow, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] ARCTIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT FACTORS ABSTRACT. When studying Arctic entrepreneurship, the researcher encounters many paradoxes. Against the background of a powerfully developed topic of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship in regional science, the layer of work on the entrepreneur in the Arctic is extremely thin. What is even worse – well-known mainstream theories turns out to be unsuitable for the study of Arctic entrepreneurship. Under these conditions, the only way out for a researcher is to attach to a zonal paradigm and recognize the Arctic as an anti-mainland, and Arctic entrepreneur as the full antipode of a continental fellow. The adherence to the zonal paradigm removes contradictions and equips the researcher with a comparative method to elaborate all facets of the Arctic exceptionalism in the figure of the entrepreneur. The entrepreneur here is understood as a close «relative» to the indigenous peoples and the entire Arctic economy, the Arctic environment, and their specific behavioral traits and adaptation strategies to natural and economic extremes. The most important factors in the development of entrepreneurship in the Arctic, which create a mosaic picture of situations in the Arctic territories, are: the geographical location – an island or quasi-mainland position; the presence of large resource corporations and a specific stage of their exploitation of the resource field; the institutional structure of the local economy in terms of the degree of nationalization. The cumulative impact of these factors creates a multi-faceted picture, when the Murmansk oblast is at one pole of the extreme favorable conditions for business, and the Chukotka autonomous okrug is at the other extreme hardness.
