To date, there have been no environmental accidents involving tailings facilities at the Company’s operations in Russia or Kazakhstan. Our investigations confirmed that any emergency failure at our dams would have no impact on settlements, buildings, structures or facilities where communities or employees may be present. However, in light of incidents in our wider industry, in 2019, we published our first Tailings Storage Facilities Report which provides the detailed information on each facility, associated risks and mitigation measures.
As one third of our total reserves is situated in permafrost regions of Russia, we pay particular attention to physical risks attributable to the changing climate.
