The year proved a difficult one, as conditions in the Group’s key markets deteriorated throughout. Despite these headwinds, EVRAZ proven strategy of pursuing a vertically integrated business model, underpinned by a strong set of assets in advantageous locations, allowed the Group to maintain its positions in key markets. Over the year, EVRAZ made good progress with its cost leadership initiatives, improving product quality while reducing costs. Safety Safe working conditions at all facilities are and always will be EVRAZ overriding priority. In 2015, the Group implemented enhanced management and control systems, enabling accidents at facilities to be tracked better. The subsequent increase in reporting was reflected in EVRAZ lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR), which rose noticeably year-on-year. Despite the Group’s commitment, I regret to report that there were 13 fatalities at sites during the year, including three contractors (for more information, see pages 81-101 of the Corporate Social Responsibility section). Management activities As part of the focus on cost control and operations, EVRAZ streamlined its organisational structure in 2015, establishing new divisions based on the geography of assets: Ural, Siberia and Ukraine. To head these, the Group appointed new vice- presidents based on the ground thereby moving the management focus to assets (see page 109 for more details). Despite the many challenges posed by the ongoing macroeconomic instability, the management team proved that it can accomplish the most ambitious tasks, and this gives me great confidence in the positive prospects for EVRAZ and its future success.
