RAEX rating agency conducted a study measuring how efficient organizations in Russia are managing water resources.
The analysis was conducted based on data from 144 companies participating in the agency's ESG rating last year. The study takes into account water consumption statistics, data from corporate policies and programs related to water use, information on identifying risks in this area and measures to minimize them.
The companies with the highest rating in the area of rational use of water resources included ALROSA, KazMunaiGas, MMK, Norilsk Nickel, Polymetal, Polyus, Rosneft, Rusal, Uralkali and PhosAgro.
The RAEX study found that the telecommunications and mining and metallurgy sectors are the most efficient industries in terms of rational water use: the average score for those companies exceeds 50 points out of a possible 100.
