“Quality management practices in Russia at a high level”

ISO standards have left Russia amid recent developments. But a whole group of energy and environmental management standards have been adapted and adopted as GOSTs (State Standarts) in our country in recent years. Despite the departure of certification systems such as BREEAM, LEED and others, we do not see significant changes in the management of industry processes. The work is ongoing. Perhaps the changes will only affect long-term and environmental programmes and projects where multi-billion-dollar funding has been announced, including with the participation of Western capital. But the management approach itself has been implemented at a fairly high level in Russia and continues to develop along the planned trajectory. There is not much of a difference between us and our Western peers, with domestic companies demonstrating a fairly high level of quality management.
