Polymetal International plc
Polymetal achieved Prime status in ISS ESG Corporate Rating
According to the most recent ISS ESG Corporate Rating, Polymetal's score
improved from С+ to B-, crossing the Prime threshold.
The ISS ESG Corporate Rating is a holistic, annual review of how companies
implement and execute sustainability policies. Prime status is attributed
to those companies with an overall ESG performance above the
sector-specific Prime threshold, which means that they fulfil ambitious
absolute performance requirements.
Polymetal also retained its MSСI ESG rating at 'A' level, following the
latest update.
"We have built a disciplined approach to environmental, social, and
governance issues, which results in external recognition. Grateful to all
our colleagues for their efforts in sustainability, we will focus on
further improvements and alignment of our commitments and performance,"
said Daria Goncharova, Chief Sustainability Officer of Polymetal.
