Polymetal International plc has received the Industry Mover distinction from RobecoSAM for its excellent sustainability  performance
and becomes  the first  Russian company  to be  included  in RobecoSAM's  Sustainability Yearbook,  the world's  most  comprehensive
publication on corporate sustainability.

"We are pleased that our commitment  to integrate sustainable development principles in  our business has been highly recognised  by
RobecoSAM. Leadership in sustainability has always  been a priority for us. However,  we believe that sustainable development  means
continuous improvement in the way we deal with environmental, social and governance issues, and there is always room for improvement
regardless of where we are now" - said Daria Goncharova, Chief Sustainability Officer of Polymetal.

RobecoSAM's Sustainability Yearbook lists the world's most sustainable companies  that fall within the top 15% of their industry  in
environmental, social and  governance performance. For  the 2019 Yearbook,  RobecoSAM assessed 2,686  companies from 60  industries,
selecting 458 for inclusion (click  1 here to access the 2019 Yearbook).

Polymetal has been listed in the 2019 Yearbook with the Industry Mover distinction that is awarded to the company within the top 15%
of its industry which has achieved the largest proportional improvement in sustainability performance compared to the previous year.
