ALROSA has published its 15th Annual Sustainability Report, outlining the company’s strategy, operational scale and 2025 performance across key sustainability areas. The report also highlights ALROSA’s contribution to Russian National Development Priorities and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
“Over the past year, ALROSA has once again demonstrated its ability to operate effectively in a rapidly changing environment and to address complex challenges and risks. The Company not only maintained its leading position in the global diamond mining industry and delivered solid financial results, but also strengthened its commitment to sustainable development as national non-financial reporting standards continue to evolve,” said Pavel Marinychev, CEO of ALROSA.
He added that responsible business practices have helped the company adapt to changes in the global diamond market, manage sustainability-related risks and identify new opportunities, while the well-being of local communities, environmental protection and cultural heritage remain key priorities.
