Since ALROSA has many years of expertise and an extensive scientific base in the mining industry, the agreement provides for cooperation in the evaluation of Russian projects and scientific developments for the mining industry. In addition, the company and the service will work together on changes to the Russian legislation in the environmental protection and nature management.
The parties also agreed to hold joint events to develop human resources and raise ALROSA's awareness of the current environmental requirements. Specialists of the service and the company will exchange experience and up-to-date information on an ongoing basis, this will allow promptly solving all emerging issues in nature management.
Meetings, seminars and conferences are planned to discuss topical and problematic issues. Several round tables with the participation of specialists from ALROSA and Rosprirodnadzor will be held at the end of 2023.
“Under the agreement signed today, we will develop cooperation with ALROSA in a number of areas, including the assessment of scientific developments, the formation of proposals for amending legislation in the field of environmental protection and nature management, and discussion of law enforcement practice. Our joint expert work will allow us to evaluate Russian projects and world practices in the mining industry aimed at improving the environmental safety of production. For our part, we are open to cooperation with business and are ready to talk about the requirements of environmental legislation, conduct an examination and evaluate the work of companies for the benefit of nature. The more personal responsibility the business community has, the easier it will be for us to jointly solve urgent environmental problems,” commented Svetlana Radionova, head of Rosprirodnadzor.
“ALROSA has more than half a century of experience in the region with difficult mining, geological and climatic conditions, and we will be happy to share our knowledge and expertise with Rosprirodnadzor specialists. They will receive first-hand information, directly from experts in the diamond industry, and see how our work works from the inside. I am sure that this approach will help bring interaction between the state service and business to a new level, and increase the effectiveness of our joint efforts,” said Sergey Ivanov, CEO of ALROSA.
