Rosneft employees are taking part in Water of Russia national campaign. The oil workers are organising campaigns in the regions to clean up the shores of water bodies from rubbish and household waste, as well as events to improve natural resources.

Preservation of the environment for future generations is an integral part of the Rosneft Strategy The Company and its subsidiaries are committed to playing a leading role in minimising environmental impact, improving the sustainability level of the production, and preserving ecosystems.

As part of the Water of Russia campaign in the Samara Region, employees of Samaraneftegaz — Rosneft's largest oil production enterprise in the area — cleaned a stretch of the Volga River embankment in Samara. The enterprise also helps municipalities to restore and improve their natural resource infrastructure. Oil workers cleaned up the areas around springs and natural water sources in the Bezenchuksky, Krasnoyarsky, and Kinelsky districts, as well as other natural sites. Volunteers from Rosneft's production site in Samara also regularly take part in the Samara Region Springs environmental expedition. The project aims to preserve the region's key water sources, which are important for providing the population with clean drinking water, feeding water bodies and maintaining the overall water balance. For instance, employees of the Novokuybyshevsk Refinery helped restore three natural springs and clean up several springs in remote settlements.

Volunteers from the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery joined forces with colleagues from other Rosneft enterprises and activists from the regional EcoBalance movement to clean up 2.5 hectares of coastline at the confluence of the Volga and Sok rivers. They collected and sent about five cubic metres of household and drift waste, including plastic bottles and bags, tin cans, and glass shards, for recycling.

Employees of the Novokuybyshevsk Petrochemical Company are implementing various environmental measures to preserve the cleanliness of the banks of the Volga and islands, local lakes, natural springs, and coastal areas of the Kriusha and Tatianka rivers. In June, the refinery's employees held an eco-clean-up day on the banks of the Volga River, close to the Granniy settlement. Volunteers cleared 2,000 square metres of the coastline and surrounding forest belt, removing household waste. The petrochemical company is also responsible for Lake Berezovoye in Chapaevsk, where the enterprise's volunteers hold an annual environmental run. Together with activists from the Movement of the Firsts, employees of the Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery and the Novokuybyshevsk Oil and Additives Plant cleaned up around 6.5 hectares of the Volga coastline.

In the towns of Buzuluk and Sorochinsk in the Orenburg Region, volunteers from Orenburgneft, activists from the Movement of the Firsts and Rosneft Classes students held a joint environmental campaign on the banks of water bodies. They cleaned up more than 1 hectare of coastal area, collecting 10 cubic metres of rubbish.

Employees of the Bashneft-Novoil plant in Bashkortostan cleaned up nearly 22 kilometres of the coastline of Lake Aslikul, the largest lake in the republic. The volunteers helped to reduce the impact of human activity on the lake's ecosystem, which is very popular with tourists.

In the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District – Yugra, employees of RN-Nyaganneftegaz cleaned up 1.5 hectares of the Nyagan-Yugan riverbank, collecting about three tonnes of rubbish. This is the second environmental campaign by oil workers on water bodies since the beginning of summer.

In the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, employees of SevKomNeftegaz and its subsidiary RN-Service, along with representatives of organisations in Gubkinsky, participated in a community clean-up day on the banks of the Pyaku-Pur River. During the eco-campaign, 6.8 tonnes of rubbish were collected and more than six kilometres of coastal territory were cleaned up.

More than 100 employees of RN-Uvatneftegaz, Tyumenneftegaz, the corporate research centre in Tyumen, and activists from the Movement of the Firsts participated in an environmental clean-up day at Lake Andreevskoye, the largest body of water in the Tyumen Region. Volunteers cleaned up almost 10 hectares of coastline and collected around 2.5 tonnes of household waste. The participants set up a stand on the shore with information about the water body and the rare species of birds and animals that inhabit its surroundings.

Employees of RN-Northwest cleaned up the coastline of the Gulf of Finland in the Leningrad Region, removing household waste from a section of the shoreline.
