The main climate challenges of today are related to the unstable economic situation, as investment in climate protection is a matter of large-scale investment for domestic industrial holdings. This is primarily a question of modernising production facilities, which in an unstable environment may not be a priority for business.
Fortunately, most domestic industry leaders are finding ways to continue their environmental and climate protection projects, including those aimed at reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and moving towards carbon neutrality. We know this firsthand: a large number of major companies continue to turn to us for validation and verification of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints, and the intensity of these requests is increasing.
In particular, we can testify to the serious attitude, substantial efforts and notable progress on the climate agenda in companies such as Rusal, Norilsk Nickel, Evraz, Severstal, Metalloinvest, Polyus, Russian Railways and many others.
Unfortunately, sanctions may deter domestic companies from adopting new technologies and purchasing modern industrial equipment that will reduce energy consumption and be able to provide lower emissions or capture emissions.
