Stakeholder engagement

Our ability to listen and understand, be quick in our response, and effectively work with a wide range of stakeholders is key to the approach we use in doing business. It provides a solid foundation for delivering on strategic SDGs. Ensuring maximum transparency of our operations, including through full, high quality, and timely reporting, is a prerequisite for achieving this goal.

In February 2023, PhosAgro received the Interfax and AK&M information agencies’ award for its advanced practice of information disclosure in the stock market. We highly value the acknowledgement from the expert community and remain dedicated to upholding best ESG practices and the highest standards of corporate reporting going forward.

Approach to stakeholder engagement; identifying and selecting stakeholders

GRI 3‑1, 2‑29, SASB EM‑MM‑210a.3

PhosAgro’s framework for stakeholder engagement management covers all tiers of corporate governance. Our stakeholders include persons or organisations that, in line with the double materiality principle, may be affected by our activities or can influence our operations and business decisions. Furthermore, we seek to build partner relationships with government agencies in all countries where we operate and ensure that we strictly comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.
