SIBUR presents its integrated annual report: 30 years, 20 regions, one team

May 26, 2026. SIBUR’s integrated report for 2025 reflects key results in production, digitalisation, innovation, social, environmental and climate initiatives, as well as corporate governance. It also presents the Company’s contribution to achieving Russia’s national development goals and progress in implementing the updated ‘Sustainability Strategy’ through 2030, as verified by an independent auditor.

In 2025, the Company’s investments in social and environmental projects, contributing to Russia’s national development goals in improving quality of life, exceeded RUB 54 billion, and totalled almost RUB 100 billion over the past two years. Key areas have included improving urban amenities and comprehensive development of the Company’s host cities, supporting families and parenthood, occupational health and industrial safety, and conserving biodiversity. Compared with the previous year, the volume of these social investments increased by 22%.

The annual report places special emphasis on the regions where the Company operates, its production sites, and continuity – for the first time, the Company’s history is presented, and a topical report on labour dynasties has been prepared.

Environmental performance, biodiversity, climate, and circular economy

Environmental responsibility is integrated into all aspects of the Company’s activities. SIBUR is consistently developing sustainable production, implementing the best available techniques, and paying special attention to the preservation of ecosystems. Regarding climate, the Company is implementing comprehensive projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A key focus is the development of the circular economy, within which SIBUR makes products that incorporate recycled feedstock.

Thanks to mobile environmental laboratories and an automated online air-quality monitoring system, SIBUR carries out up to 26,000 studies per year. More than 780,000 fish species have been voluntarily released by the Company into water bodies. The SIBUR “Eco-Trails” project celebrated its 10th anniversary, and three new eco-trails were created. SIBUR’s facilities held more than 100 events in 2025 to preserve biodiversity, support scientific research and green urban areas, and promote environmental education. About 395,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent were reduced as a result of energy efficiency measures. A solar power plant (SPP) was commissioned at the SIBUR PolyLab site (the Company’s third SPP). The Company’s portfolio of validated carbon units grew to more than 12 million.

Research and development activities

SIBUR’s investment in research and development has been growing at a double-digit pace in recent years and amounted to more than RUB 18 billion in 2025. According to the commonly used global indicator reflecting the intensity of investment in R&D, SIBUR is at the level of industry leaders: 1.7% of revenue.

The Company’s portfolio includes 447 active patents; 91 new applications were filed in 2025. Flagship projects included the launch of Russia’s first hexene production unit, with a capacity of 50,000 tonnes, based on the Company’s own technology, as well as the start of construction of a plant in Kazan to produce catalysts for basic polymers. The Company’s network of R&D centres expanded to nine sites, and construction began on a flagship industry research complex in Kazan. In 2025, 146 new product solutions were developed for medicine, construction, packaging and other industries.

Digital transformation

SIBUR regards digitalisation as a driver of operational efficiency and technological independence.

The cumulative economic effect of digital projects since 2018 has exceeded RUB 63 billion. More than 130 organisational projects were implemented in 2025. Artificial intelligence technologies are being actively used: large-language models help generate training materials, forecast catalyst properties and automate margin analysis.

Social capital and care for employees

SIBUR pursues a comprehensive approach to developing human potential. It offers competitive working conditions and social programmes, creates a modern work environment, and systematically invests in training and skills development. The Company supports work-life balance, promotes diversity and inclusion, and expands opportunities for employees to participate in technologically complex and industry-significant projects.

The employee engagement level at the Company’s sites exceeds 90%. The share of women in engineering and production roles is 20%. A training centre for the development of engineering and technical expertise, SIBURINTECH, was opened in the city of Nizhnekamsk.

Continuity is an important element of SIBUR’s corporate culture. Labour dynasties, which unite employees of different generations and bind teams together through shared values, views and traditions, play a special role in building expertise and passing on accumulated experience.

More than 100 labour dynasties have been formed at the Company’s sites. The largest dynasty is composed of 23 people. More than 17% of employees are over 50 years old. Currently, 141 experts in key knowledge and technologies of the Company participate in the “Labour Longevity” programme. More details about labour dynasties and measures to support experienced employees can be found in the topical report, “Traditions Worthy of You.”

The Company’s social investment programme, “Formula for Good Deeds,” remains a key tool for driving positive change in the regions where it operates. Projects are implemented in partnership with non-profit organisations, public authorities and other stakeholders.
The programme’s budget for 2025 was RUB 803.9 million. The number of SIBUR corporate volunteers reached 11,800 people (30% of the Company’s average headcount in 2025).

One hundred fifty-eight grants were awarded for the implementation of socially significant projects by NGOs and social institutions in the regions where the Company operates. More than 800 volunteer campaigns were organised by the Company. More than 120,000 beneficiaries took part in the programme’s grant-supported and interregional projects.
