In order to improve the Company’s performance and maintain its financial stability, OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel is striving to build long-term confidential relations with shareholders and investors.
One of the main priorities of collaboration with this category of stakeholders is the timely provision of information on the Company’s activity and offering equal access to it. Shareholders and investors are informed of the Company’s current operating and financial indices, its strategies, visions of the situation in the metal markets, main corporate events, and other issues that are pertinent for making investment decisions. For this purpose, the Company regularly draws up an Annual Report, the quarterly reports of security issuers, and statements on important facts, with the subsequent placement of this information on the corporate website.
