PhosAgro's Global Sustainable Agriculture Project with the FAO Included in Russia's Voluntary National Review of the Implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals - Seite 2

"PhosAgro has traditionally paid special attention to Sustainable Development Goal No 2 – the issue of world food security – which is especially acute right now because of the pandemic.

"Our company supplies fertilizers that are free of toxic substances and that set standards in terms of their environmental friendliness to our priority Russian market and to another 102 countries around the world, and we are fully aware of our responsibility to make safe, results-oriented agricultural production possible. Therefore, openness and involvement, including in international activities, are important components of our corporate culture," said PhosAgro CEO Andrey Guryev, commenting on the inclusion of PhosAgro's joint project with the FAO in the first voluntary national review of Russia's achievements concerning the SDGs.

The implementation of the project within the framework of SDG 2 is, at the same time, contributing to the achievement of SDG 17 (partnership for sustainable development). This is in line with PhosAgro's long-standing commitment to developing international partnerships and contributing to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda as one of the 36 companies in the world that have been granted LEAD status under the UN Global Compact, a global platform for responsible business.

PhosAgro is also collaborating with UNESCO on the long-term Green Chemistry for Life programme. This project provides financial and scientific support for promising young scientists from around the world engaged in developing advanced technologies based on the principles of green chemistry in order to solve problems related to environmental protection, healthcare, food, improved energy efficiency and the sustainable use of natural resources.

Overall, PhosAgro contributes directly to the achievement of 10 of the 17 SDGs. In accordance with the Company's long-term development strategy to 2025, adherence to the principles of sustainable development is a key priority.
