Moscow, November 12, 2020 - RUSAL (SEHK: 486; Moscow Exchange: RUAL), a leading global aluminium producer, has won the InnoESG Prize for the second consecutive year, further highlighting the Company’s success in improving the world through its sustainability initiatives.
Launched in 2019, the award recognises companies around the world that have both innovatively reformed their core business to incorporate best practice ESG steps and simultaneously maintained high community engagement via business philanthropy. The InnoESG Prize is presented by the Society Next Foundation, and organised in coalition with UNESCO HK Global Pease Center, Lions Club HKIFC, Rotarian Action Group for Peace, and the Wofoo Social Enterprise for promoting sustainability.
Collecting the award for the second year running demonstrates RUSAL’s commitment to the principles of corporate social responsibility and best business practice across its employee, business partner, community and broader stakeholder relations.
Commenting on receiving the award, Oleg Mukhamedshin, RUSAL’s Director for Strategy, Business Development and Financial Market, said: “This award highlights the importance of our sustainable business model and the Company’s commitments to social engagement and philanthropy, all of which continue to play an integral part in RUSAL’s corporate strategy. For over 20 years, our ambitions both to improve the quality of life for local people in the regions in which we operate, and protect the environment, have been at the heart of RUSAL’s business plan and now as we look to the future these goals remain steadfast.”
