At SIBUR, we recognise that climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the humankind, society, and business today. To address it, the petrochemical industry is coming up with effective solutions to fight global warming.
Our Company has extensive technological, industrial, and research expertise in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and transitioning to a low-carbon economy. We take an active approach to mitigating the climate impact of our own activities, adapting to climate change, and using our capabilities to develop new and effective decarbonisation solutions.
Our risk management framework places a strong focus on potential risks of climate change and their impact on the Company’s sustainable development.
SIBUR works to address climate risks in all aspects of its operations, especially when planning R&D and investment projects.
Recognizing the critical importance of climate change issues, SIBUR understands its contribution to global processes and strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from production by improving energy efficiency and developing and implementing low-carbon technologies. The company's climate impact reduction targets can be found in its updated ESG strategy.
The energy resource management mechanism is integrated into SIBUR's performance management system. The methods and approaches used ensure the efficient use of energy resources (electricity, heat, fuel, etc.) through the implementation of organizational measures and the introduction of advanced, highly efficient technologies in the energy sector.
The potential for improving the energy efficiency of SIBUR's enterprises is determined on the basis of the best energy consumption values for specific types of products or processed raw materials achieved in global practice (benchmarks). Current energy consumption is compared with the benchmark, the reasons for discrepancies are identified, measures to eliminate them are developed, and an implementation schedule is drawn up. All new production sites of the company are built taking into account the benchmark values.
Potential solutions for improving energy efficiency, taking into account best practices and new technologies. In 2024, 718 energy efficiency measures were implemented at SIBUR enterprises.
Effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions
The company has reduced direct greenhouse gas emissions by this much in the Gas Processing segment
The company reduced direct greenhouse gas emissions in the Petrochemicals segment
The economic effect of the implementation of energy efficiency measures
The use of energy resources from renewable sources is one of SIBUR's strategic priorities in the field of energy efficiency and combating climate change.
The company implements its own projects in the field of electricity generation from renewable energy sources. For example, the POLIEF plant in Blagoveshchensk (Republic of Bashkortostan), which is a leading producer of terephthalic acid and polyethylene terephthalate in Russia, has a solar power plant that provides about 25% of the electricity for the production of Vivilen rPET granules using recycled plastic.
In addition, as part of an agreement with TGK-1, SIBUR purchased 62,000 MWh of electricity from renewable sources in the form of green certificates. This made it possible to fully meet the energy needs of the SIBUR-PETF plant and increase the share of green energy at POLIEF through supplies from hydroelectric power plants.
The use of solar and hydro energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint of manufactured products. The design capacity of the solar power plant at POLIEF is approximately 4.9 MW, with a panel area of 8 hectares.
A solar power plant has also been operating at the SIBUR-YUG corporate wellness center since 2019. SIBUR has generated more than 5,500 MWh of green energy and purchased an additional 31,000 MWh, confirmed by certificates.
Increased energy production from renewable sources. All production has been certified, confirming its status as green energy
In 2025, the Tver enterprise SIBUR-PETF became the first plant in Russia to fully compensate for its direct and indirect energy emissions of greenhouse gases. This was made possible by implementing energy-efficient measures, using renewable energy sources and purchasing carbon units. Thus, the company achieved one of the goals of the ESG strategy until 2025 and created a carbon-neutral production model, which it plans to scale to other sites.
SIBUR contributes to reducing carbon footprint by consuming petroleum and gas by-products which used to be flared at the field. This helps to prevent more than 70 million tonnes of CO2-eq. from being released into the atmosphere.
SIBUR builds its business model taking into account the principles of a closed-loop economy. Accumulating its accumulated expertise, the company has developed a line of products using secondary plastic raw materials under the Vivilen brand. In 2024, SIBUR ensured the production of 287 thousand tonnes of low-carbon products containing secondary or bio-raw materials, which is 15% more than the planned amount.

Of plastic waste recycled in 5 years
SIBUR has already completed more than 25 transactions with carbon units, which allow the company's customers and partners to reduce or completely eliminate the carbon footprint of their activities, products or events. The company's portfolio includes 8 implemented climate projects with a total greenhouse gas emission reduction effect of 10.8 million tons of CO2-eq over a 10-year horizon. Of these, more than 3.3 million verified carbon units are already available for operations in both the Russian and international markets.
In 2022, SIBUR launched a large-scale environmental program called Green Formula. In the fall of 2024, the company fulfilled its voluntary commitment to plant trees as part of its sustainable development strategy and the Green Formula program, planting a total of 5 million trees. This is currently the largest voluntary tree planting program among Russian industrial companies.
The program aims to offset SIBUR's climate impact, fulfill the company's sustainable development goals, and contribute to the country's forest restoration efforts. In addition to the target number of trees to be planted, the program's objectives include supporting scientific development and research, including the use of digital technologies to assess greenhouse gas absorption by natural ecosystems.
SIBUR reduces its environmental footprint, minimizes its impact on nature, and implements advanced technologies to address climate issues. Significant results have already been achieved through the modernization and construction of state-of-the-art production facilities. The company continues to implement solutions that bring it closer to the “green” factories of the future, harmoniously integrated into ecosystems.
