PhosAgro CEO Andrey Guryev said, "Today, the Company is facing external challenges that require a prompt response and serious international expertise. We have a great deal of work ahead of us to build new partnerships, to implement major international projects, including in terms of expanding the use of environmentally friendly fertilizers, research and international trade, and to support the creation of a Green Standard for agricultural products in Russia and for its recognition as a global quality standard.
"Also on the agenda is the implementation of in-house projects to digitalise production and to restructure our occupational health and industrial safety functions.
"Meeting these challenges will require a great deal of commitment and attention. With this in mind, I decided to make some changes to the organisational structure of the Company's management and delegate some of my duties as CEO.
"These changes will ensure that equal attention is paid to finding solutions to challenges both within the Company and in interaction with our partners, and they will enable us to develop in new areas and achieve the key performance indicators outlined in our Strategy 2025.
"I am confident that Siroj Loikov's previous work experience in the Company – managing international projects and personnel policies – will help him succeed with the challenges before him."
