Kondaneft, a production enterprise of Rosneft Oil Company, planted 964,000 pine saplings in the Kondinskiy District of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District-Yugra.

The area of more than 240 hectares earlier affected by forest fire was cleaned from the burnt wood, and soil was prepared. The careful selection of saplings and planting technology allowed to reach the survival rate of more than 90% of seedlings. The saplings were transported in special containers from the nursery garden to protect roots.

Environment protection is an integral part of Rosneft Oil Company's corporate culture and social policy. The Company is implementing a number of comprehensive programmes for the preservation and restoration of natural resources. As part of the expansion of Rosneft's ESG activities in 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved measures in terms of adherence to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. These goals include Life on Land.

Kondaneft works consistently to minimise the negative impact on the environment, monitors the conditions of atmosphere air, waters and soil in the region of its operations, implements the pipeline reliability improvement programme and uses unmanned aerial vehicles to control the production sites.

In 2018-2020, as a result of fish resources replenishment works, Kondaneft released more than 28 million peled fry in the Ob-Irtysh basin.
