The Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) presented its 2025 Sustainability Indices: "Responsibility and Openness" and "Sustainability Vector" on its official website. Pigment JSC was included in Group A for both indices.
It's worth noting that the indices are calculated based on publicly available sources. Inclusion in Group A indicates high growth rates across key socioeconomic and environmental indicators, as well as high-quality ESG information disclosure. The base sample for 2025 included 171 companies.

The Responsibility and Transparency Index analyzes the quality of disclosure of information on industrial enterprises' corporate social responsibility activities in public corporate reporting and identifies priority areas for Russian business leaders in the field of sustainable development. This year, 62 companies were included in the Responsibility and Transparency Index.
The "Sustainable Development Vector" Index, in turn, analyzes company performance dynamics, its primary goal being to assess changes in key socioeconomic and environmental indicators over a given period of time. This index included 56 Russian businesses.
As a reminder, Tambov-based Pigment has been included in the list of non-financial sector companies with the highest sustainability indicators for the second year in a row.
