Dmitry Konov, Chairman of the Management Board of SIBUR Holding, said:

“In 2020, SIBUR delivered an increase in key financial and operating results and maintained high margins despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. This was possible above all due to the launch of ZapSibNeftekhim and cost optimisation measures.

“Despite partial optimisation of our investment programme, we maintained our focus on expanding our petrochemical business and continued implementing our key projects. We made the final investment decision on our next key growth project – the Amur Gas Chemical Complex – and started the construction.

“The pandemic and the instability it caused confirmed our conviction that the Company’s future growth should be based on sustainable development principles and the circular economy. In 2020, we continued implementation of our Sustainable Development Strategy according to the plan. Throughout the year, the health and safety of our employees remained our highest priority. We invested over RUB 2.9 billion during the year to mitigate risks associated with the pandemic.

“Our POLIEF enterprise launched a project for PET production with the addition of up to 25% of secondary raw materials. At our Novokuibyshevsk and Tver facilities, we increased the use of green energy produced from renewable energy sources. We also have an extensive R&D programme that works alongside leading industry experts – both Russian and international – to implement green technologies and create new circular-economy products.”
