Let’s Do It
environmental marathon

The marathon seeks to promote environmental responsibility and support the joint volunteering initiatives of the employees and the local communities aimed at preserving the natural heritage. The marathon’s environmental teams are made up of Nornickel’s eco-conscious employees from Moscow office, Kola MMC facilities, Polar Division and other subsidiaries of the Company. As part of the project, a total of 75 environmental campaigns and initiatives have been launched, and over 1,000 trees and bushes have been planted. Those initiatives included an ecological quest to revamp the nature trail in the Lapland Biosphere Reserve, construction of titmouse houses for the Putoransky Nature Reserve, and a Green Living Room event held in the Pasvik State Nature Reserve’s visitor centre. In 2017 alone, over 3,500 volunteers took part in the project.
