As part of the Green Spring 2024 environmental campaign, volunteers from among the employees of Rosneft’s enterprises cleaned more than 200 hectares of natural parks, public gardens, embankments and city streets, collected more than 200 tons of waste and planted more than 800,000 trees, shrubs and flowers.

Preservation of the environment for future generations is an integral part of the social policy and corporate culture of Rosneft.

Bashneft-Dobycha employees planted 24,000 trees in the Asly-Kul Nature Park, which will prevent springs from drying up and provide Lake Aslikul with a natural water supply. A new forest of 6,000 pine seedlings has sprung up in the Chishma District of the Republic of Bashkortostan, thanks to the efforts of volunteers.
