PhosAgro Board of Directors Chair Xavier Roletsaid: "Recognition of the achievements of the company as a whole and of members of the management team by one of the world's most authoritative financial publications is the best feedback that we could receive from the investment community and testimony to the growth path that PhosAgro has chosen. As Chair of the Board of Directors, it is important for me to see that the company maintains regular and open dialogue with its investors, with market experts and with other stakeholders; sets itself more ambitious goals every year; and sets a high standard for other companies in the chemical sector to follow not just across the EMEA region but also globally.
"It is important to note that the company's results are receiving ever more feedback from the market. In August 2020 the authoritative MSCI ESG Research agency raised PhosAgro's rating to BBB, and in November the company significantly improved its position in the Sustainalytics ESG risk rating. I am pleased that PhosAgro is producing such impressive results and I am confident that the company will continue to progress on all fronts."
