The Formation of Non-financial Reporting in Federal Grid Company

Understanding the Company's contribution to sustainable development began to be formed owing to participation in RAO UES of Russia’s initiative to introduce non-financial reporting in the power industry in 2006-2008.

In 2007, the Company for the first time prepared a chapter "Corporate and Social Responsibility" in its 2006 Annual Report.

As early as in 2008, after finalizing the Company’s target structure, the first full-fledged non-financial 2007 Federal Grid Company Report was published. It became a launch attempt to describe the Company’s activities in terms of its impact on various aspects of the country and society’s life. At that time, as the main tool for managing CSR, the Company defined its Public position regarding CSR, i.e. it formulated the principles of decision-making and the Company’s actions when interacting with stakeholders, and elaborated on its responsibility to various stakeholder groups. Then, the Company made a gradual transition from a fundamental and generalized understanding of its corporate social responsibility to the management of specific aspects of sustainable development, which are meaningful to stakeholders.

The Company all along has released its annual non-financial reports in accordance with international standards and "best practices", kept a dialogue with stakeholders and steadily increased the level of reporting, and the breadth and depth of its performance disclosure.
