| Amursk POX-2: Directors' engagement with local stakeholders
In early 2019, the Board finalised its investment decision to proceed with the proposed POX-2 project at Amursk, but this was not before intense discussions about how to capitalise on the success of the plant and an extensive review of the interests of all relevant stakeholder groups were undertaken. Following this consultation, a number of long-term projects were initiated that were of particular importance to the local community, POX employees and their families. These included the renovation of educational, medical and sports facilities as well as improving the amenities and landscape around Amursk. With a requirement to fill newly created jobs for the plant, an educated and skilled workforce plus attractive residential environs would be crucial factors. In 2018, the Company began implementing a programme of life quality improvement and urban environmental development |
