Environmental review

SASB EM‑MM‑160a.1, RT‑CH‑410b.2

At PhosAgro Group, we attach much importance to environmental protection and safety, as well as climate risk management. Effective management of these areas contributes both to the well‑being of the regions where the Company operates and to its sustainable development.

Our Strategy to 2025 and Environmental Policy incorporate provisions to ensure strict compliance with statutory environmental requirements and a reduction in the environmental impact of the Company’s operations across the entire fertilizer lifecycle, from ore mining to food production.

We believe that our requirements should be uniform both for us and our partners engaged in PhosAgro’s projects. Everything we require of ourselves equally applies to our counterparties and is enshrined in the Code of Conduct for Counterparties.

GRI 3‑3, 101‑1

Environmental stewardship has always been a core priority for PhosAgro Group. We operate in regions with fragile and unique ecosystems, and safeguarding their sustainable natural integrity is our unwavering commitment. Our operations undergo a stringent assessment for compliance with the Environmental Policy, laws and regulations, and the Company’s internal requirements.

A unified approach to environmental management:

1

Company‑wide control

The implementation of the Strategy to 2025 and compliance with the Company’s Environmental Policy and its Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving Policy are overseen by the Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee that regularly reports on the Company’s progress to the Board of Directors.

The Department of Ecology and Environmental Management exercises executive control over the Company’s environmental activities, while the Chief Power Engineer's Service is responsible for energy efficiency.

2

Unified management system

The consistency of PhosAgro’s activities aimed at environmental protection and strengthening of the Company’s environmental performance is ensured through the ongoing enhancement of the environmental management system built in line with the ISO 14001 standards.

In the field of energy efficiency, the Company is implementing a programme to establish a unified energy management system, together with measures set out in its Energy Efficiency Programme.

3

Strict compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements

The Company actively engages with the industry community and participates in relevant events, exchanging experience with market participants and gathering information on trends and innovations in energy efficiency and the energy transition. We prioritise aligning our electricity consumption with evolving requirements for electricity generation and the development of carbon‑free (green) energy attribute certificate market. The Company annually reviews the low‑carbon electricity market, compares its energy efficiency and green electricity performance with leading companies in the fertilizer industry and across the industrial sector, and presents the results to the Board of Directors.

Environmental management system

Our environmental management system is integrated in the Company’s overall management framework and is a key element in our approach to managing environmental responsibility.

In 2025, the environmental management system passed a recertification audit across the Company’s production sites and was found to be in full compliance with ISO 14001.

PhosAgro’s environmental management system embraces all management levels and all stages of the product’s life‑cycle, from R&D to manufacturing and finished product application by customers. This approach ensures uniform management requirements across all aspects of the Company’s operations.

The facilities have also put in place a procedure for conducting internal audits of the environmental management system. Every year, they develop internal audit programmes taking into account the environmental significance of the reviewed processes, changes affecting the facility and previous audit outcomes. The audits provide input data for the Company’s management to analyse environmental management efficiency.

Our strategic environmental and energy management goals are set out in the Company’s Strategy to 2025, as well as Water and Climate strategies. Their achievement is included in the KPIs of managers and senior executives.

As part of an integrated approach to building the environmental management system, the Group's facilities have a dedicated limit under the corporate voluntary property insurance programme to cover costs related to remedying potential pollution incidents.

Environmental management framework

Compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements

Environmental compliance is key to running a responsible business.

PhosAgro Group’s environmental management practices ensure our compliance with the applicable environmental and nature conservation regulations and regulators’ decrees. To that end, the Company has in place an internal and external control framework, which includes internal audit and external compliance reviews, a reporting system designed in accordance with legislative requirements, and a staff training system.

All our facilities that have an adverse environmental impact are included in dedicated state registers, with relevant categories assigned to them. PhosAgro has all necessary permits in place for each of these facilities.

None of PhosAgro’s enterprises use ozone‑depleting substances in the production process. A small amount of carbon tetrachloride (not more than 250 kg/year) is used for some laboratory testing processes.

We do not undertake cross‑border hazardous waste transportation and our production sites are not situated in protected areas. Hence, there are no significant restrictions on our operations.

The reduction in the Company's environmental impact payments in 2025 was associated with decreased phosphogypsum disposal in waste facilities, achieved through its expanded application as a construction material at both the Cherepovets and Balakovo sites.

In 2025, over‑limit payments accounted for 0.096% of total environmental impact payments (vs 0.036% in 2023). They resulted from exceeding the permissible ammonia emission limit at the Balakovo branch.

Assessment, analysis, and monitoring

Continuous improvement is inherent in our environmental management. Improvement opportunities are identified by analysing our existing environmental management system, drawing on an effective mechanism of external and internal audits, monitoring, and performance evaluation involving stakeholders. Management reviews the resulting data and produces corrective action lists and system development proposals.

When assessing the Company’s performance, much attention is paid to the analysis of ESG ratings and investor feedback.

Operational Environmental risks:

• non‑compliance with the existing regulations on environmental impact
• energy efficiency issues

2025 highlights

Gross and per unit GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) across the Group

PCSB 9

PhosAgro Group has LEAD status under the UN Global Compact and is a participant of the Climate Ambition initiative.

Starting 2021, the Company has been making annual climate disclosures in line with the TCFD logic and starting 2023, with key requirements of the new IFRS S2, which enables the most thorough disclosure of the climate‑related aspects of PhosAgro Group’s strategy, risks and opportunities, management approach, results, and indicators.

The Company’s representatives are members of climate change and sustainable development task and expert groups instituted by government authorities and non‑governmental organisations, and are actively engaged in discussions on current global challenges.

Strategy and management approach GRI 3‑3

The Company focuses on climate change in line with the double materiality principle: on the one hand, it identifies and assesses the impact of its operations on climate all along the value chain from extraction of raw materials to consumption of finished products. On the other hand, it projects how climate change affects PhosAgro’s business, strategy, and financial planning.

Climate matters feature prominently in PhosAgro’s strategic and investment decisions, as well as in its day‑to‑day management. In our evaluation of investment projects, we use internal carbon price mechanisms. The Company has identified, assessed, and prioritised climate risks, establishing their short, medium and long term consequences for its production and business processes. We make our strategic plans and day‑to‑day management decisions with full awareness of the nature and extent of climate impact (both environmental and political) on the Company’s business, strategy, and financial planning. The Group develops and takes consistent steps to reduce its carbon footprint and closely interacts with partners across its value chain (suppliers and consumers) and other stakeholders domestically and worldwide.

The Company is currently focused on creating particular metrics reflecting the impact of climate action in production and management processes on financial indicators. To that end, we assessed the impact of the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) on PhosAgro’s operating expenses. The mechanism covers Russian industrial products, including, most likely, mineral fertilizers. In 2024, a cross‑functional working group refined and automated our product carbon footprint assessment mechanism, among other things to ensure alignment with the CBAM requirements. The mechanism underwent evaluation by international consultants, and its methodology was validated. The mechanism helps measure carbon footprint per each tonne of fertilizer based on a transparent calculation methodology for GHG emissions, which covers production processes and semi‑product flows fully in line with the CBAM guidelines.

Actions to deliver the Climate Strategy

In 2025, we continued to implement the Climate Agenda project aimed at creating the climate action management system and pushing forward the low‑carbon transition plan.

Climate Agenda initiatives in 2025

• The joint RECSOIL project, aimed at soil carbon accumulation, improving soil agrophysical and agronomic properties, and enhancing resilience to climate change, is being implemented. Work on the project has been ongoing since 2024 in partnership with the UN FAO, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and Kept, on the fields of AgroGard’s partner innovation farm in the Oryol region. Company specialists, together with partners, carried out a range of field activities, performed mathematical modelling of soil carbon accumulation on the farm, and launched a series of scientific and practical workshops on soil recarbonisation. Project documentation was developed, and the project was registered as a climate project.
• The Company formalised the climate project “Improving Energy Efficiency at the Balakovo branch of Apatit”. The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing carbon‑intensive grid electricity with the branch’s own energy generated by turbine generator No. 4 using waste heat from sulphuric acid production. The climate project successfully passed validation and received a positive opinion from the validator confirming compliance with GOST R ISO 14064‑3. The expected greenhouse gas emission reduction from the project’s implementation through to 2035 is 509,995 t CO₂‑eq.
• We purchased certificates for electricity obtained from renewable and low‑carbon sources. In 2025, the purchase volume increased by 25% y‑o‑y, reaching 375 mln kWh. Carbon‑free electricity from hydroelectric power stations accounted for 100% of the externally sourced electricity for the Balakovo and Volkhov branches of Apatit. In addition, a substantial volume of carbon‑free electricity was supplied to the Cherepovets site for the first time.
• We also continued with the Carbon Footprint Compensation project aimed at absorbing (offsetting) GHG emissions, with a carbon farm being developed in the Vologda region for this purpose.
  • Together with the Centre for Forest Ecology and Productivity of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Company developed a two‑tier monitoring system. The experimental farm was handed over to the Vologda State Dairy Farming Academy as part of the Centre’s large‑scale Carbon Rhythm research project, enabling scientists to continue their work. Data from the farm was submitted to the Centre for patenting as a database.
  • The Academy's Forestry Department and Tolshmenskoye prepared the forest section of the farm for research, creating natural conditions where trees compete for survival. The result is a unique scientific facility with a lifespan of up to 100 years.
  • The Russian Agrarian State University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy developed calculation formulas for assessing the carbon footprint of the plant nutrition system for 38 crops, which will be integrated into the Agro Calculator in 2026.
• Based on 2022–2025 data, the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology issued practical recommendations for voluntary climate‑friendly agricultural practices across five areas covering 104 crops. The carbon farm also yielded analytical data on changes in forest carbon stock over five‑year modelling periods. The analysis showed that over the first 30 years, all forest management scenarios with selective logging and additional planting of target species accumulated 29.9 and 65.02 t C/ha more carbon than the baseline. Over 50 years, the most effective scenario reached 117.58 t C/ha. Over the long term, for example over 100 years, the plantation forestry scenario proved best for carbon accumulation.

In 2025, the Company also continued to explore greenhouse gas absorption options to identify those best suited for its facilities.

Risks and opportunities GRI 201‑2

PhosAgro identifies its climate risks and opportunities based on climate change. The process is influenced by physical (changes in natural processes or phenomena) and transitional factors of various nature (changes in the policy and regulation with a view to fulfilling low‑carbon transition).

Risks

• R1 – disruptions in production processes and logistics operations due to increasing acute climatic effects and other climate‑related factors.
• R2 – flaws in supply chains, construction design, health and safety; negative environmental footprint and reduced flows of ecosystem services; lower resilience of infrastructure and communications due to increasing climatic effects.
• R3 – PhosAgro Group’s failure to comply with regulations reducing its negative environmental footprint (following the adoption of the carbon border adjustment mechanism).
• R4 – deterioration of the Company’s sustainability reputation.
• R5 – increased costs and losses (as a result of customers’ failure to meet their obligations, rising prices for feedstock, materials and services, higher borrowing rates) and shrinking revenues (as a result of a decline in sales, customers, countries and regions of operation).

Opportunities

• O1 – boosting PhosAgro Group’s appeal as an environmentally and climatically responsible supplier of products with a positive climate profile.
• O2 – improved logistics driven by the new export opportunities amid shortened seasonal freeze‑up of rivers and lakes due to climate change.
• O3 – new financial products that open up new sources of cheaper funding (such as green bonds) for companies that embraced environmental and climate sustainability.

Climate risk priority map

As part of our comprehensive risk management framework, we identify, assess, and manage climate risks.

Covered value chain stages – direct operations up and down the value chain. Climate risk management process is baked in the company‑wide risk management processes.

Climate scenario analysis

The Company views climate scenario analysis as a tool to make its climate strategy resilient to uncertainties and risks related to climate change. In line with that, we adopted climate scenarios and determined respective scenario parameters that are most probable and significant for the Company in the short, medium, and long term.

PhosAgro Group assessed the impact of climate‑related risks and opportunities on its operations under two climate change scenarios: global warming of 2°С and 4°С.

Note

Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated in line with the Guidelines for Climate Impact Management of PJSC PhosAgro and other Group Entities (using the IPCC methodology).

In 2025, the Company purchased green attribute certificates and used them to fully offset the electricity purchased by the Balakovo and Volkhov branches of Apatit. In addition, a substantial volume of carbon‑free electricity was supplied to the Cherepovets site for the first time.

The results of the GHG assessment for purchased renewable electricity, using the market‑based method based on the certificate data, align with the results calculated using the location‑based method.

In 2025, per unit Scope 1 GHG emissions declined by 32.37 kg/t, or 21.52%, vs 2018, whereas gross Scope 1 GHG emissions increased by 1.89% vs 2018 due to an increase in output. Excluding the output growth factor, gross emissions decreased by 1,291.71 kt compared to 2018, with the most considerable impact coming from: 1) increased production efficiency, primarily a reduction in per unit natural gas consumption in production processes, and 2) changes in the structure of semi‑finished product consumption in fertilizer production.

Per unit Scope 2 GHG emissions declined by 30.33% compared to the baseline year of 2018, while gross Scope 2 GHG emissions (excluding the output growth factor) decreased by 363.85 kt vs 2018. The reduction was achieved thanks to procurement of green electricity, as well as energy efficiency initiatives.

Gross Scope 3 GHG emissions increased by 23.75% relative to the baseline year, with per unit emissions down by 4.67%. The key factor affecting the growth in Scope 3 emissions was the increased production volume, which led to more purchases of feedstock and increased emissions from product use. Excluding the output growth factor, Scope 3 GHG emissions decreased by 766.13 kt vs the baseline year.

Back in 2024, we modernised our product carbon footprint data collection process through substantial automation within our Cognos information system. This technical advancement enables plant‑specific carbon footprint calculations across the entire PhosAgro Group, supports more sophisticated factor analysis of changes, and generates required reporting data for the EU CBAM, with our calculation methodology validated during this reporting year.

Our enhanced data capabilities now support deeper analytics into factors driving year‑on‑year changes.

In 2025, as part of developing the energy management system (EnMS) in line with ISO 50001 requirements, the Cherepovets complex (pilot site) introduced organisational changes to improve energy management processes.

• An EnMS team of over 30 members, including key managers, was formed. Responsible EnMS personnel from business units received training on “Enterprise Energy Management. Organisation and Implementation Practices. Internal Audit”.
• A new energy performance indicator was introduced to give better control over power generation, increasing the share of self‑generated electricity by 4.6%.
• The process for developing and monitoring the energy efficiency programme was updated. As a result, a three‑year programme was developed for the Cherepovets site, targeting total energy savings of RUB 549.42 mln, of which RUB 271.49 mln was actually achieved in 2025.
• Work began on developing dashboards for energy efficiency metrics, with automatic data collection and analysis. Automation of the monthly calculation of specific production energy intensity is also underway.
• An energy analysis of the Volkhov branch led to a decision to roll out the EnMS there. Energy efficiency targets for 2026 have been set.

1 In 2025, the methodology for allocating natural gas between fuel and feedstock in ammonia production units was changed.

In 2025, total self‑generated electricity at the Cherepovets site and the Volkhov and Balakovo branches reached a record high of 1,752.17 mln kWh, up 20.2% y‑o‑y. The increase was mainly driven by the completion of repairs and the start‑up of a gas turbine power plant at the Cherepovets site. Lower electricity output at the Balakovo and Volkhov branches was due to repairs on generating equipment and temporary restrictions related to investment projects at the Balakovo branch.

Production site	2023	2024	2025	Change y‑o‑y, %
Cherepovets site	807.70	808.56	1,141.69	41.2
Balakovo branch	384.53	378.22	349.91	–7.5
Volkhov branch	251.86	271.00	260.57	–3.8
Total	1,444.09	1,457.78	1,752.17	20.2

In 2025, self‑generated electricity covered

41.3 %

of the Company's production asset needs, up 3.9 y‑o‑y.

A further increase in the share of self‑generated electricity is expected in 2026, following the start‑up of two 2 MW gas-piston power plants and an 18 MW exhaust gas turbine at the Balakovo branch.

Strategy and management approach GRI 3-3, 302-4

In 2025, the Company continued to follow the Climate Strategy and the Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving Policy approved by the Board of Directors. We reviewed and updated the list of initiatives set out in the Energy Efficiency Programme, which is tightly integrated into the Company’s Strategy to 2025.

Key goals of the Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving Policy

• Continuously improving energy efficiency
• Using energy resources in a sustainable and efficient manner
• Streamlining the energy management process for all types of operating activities

The Company pays particular attention to managing energy efficiency risks

• A sufficient and reliable energy supply is a material aspect and major concern for us. We thoroughly explore all opportunities to transition to renewable energy: among other things, in 2025, we continued to purchase electricity generated by hydroelectric power plants.
• Risk of Scope 2 GHG emissions being included in carbon regulation in the EU and other jurisdictions. The Company’s energy efficiency directly affects Scope 2 GHG emissions, which poses a potential risk, for example after full-scale implementation of carbon border adjustment mechanisms.

The Company also evaluates potential energy efficiency opportunities, including:

• Market availability of electricity from renewable energy sources. The Company continuously monitors the market to ensure a sufficient supply of electricity from renewable energy sources.
• Development of an energy management system using AI tools that can quickly and efficiently forecast energy consumption, identify hidden energy losses, and optimise equipment operation in real time, thereby reducing both costs and the carbon footprint.

AI projects

Boiler unit emergency simulator for the heat and power plant

In 2025, we completed the piloting of the computer simulator for emergency training on boiler units at the heat and power plant and launched into commercial operation.

Operating principle: neural network technologies generate realistic scenarios and simulate equipment behaviour, using a data analysis system.

Functionality:

• Realistic boiler operation simulation
• Normal condition process training
• Abnormal and emergency situation training

Impact: improved training quality for boiler unit personnel and reduced errors.

Digital advisor for optimal 4.0 MPa steam generation load distribution at the nitrogen facility in Cherepovets site

The project aims to save fuel gas through more efficient steam generation achieved by optimally distributing the load among generating units. The performance of nine steam generation sources is assessed online using an AI‑based multi‑parameter model. The system then determines the most efficient operating mode for the entire steam network, respecting all technological constraints Optimal settings are displayed on operators' screens as recommendations. After each run, the system evaluates the efficiency of the chosen mode and the operators' actions.

Metrics and highlights

The energy efficiency metrics are used to monitor the Company’s progress towards its energy efficiency improvement target and are set forth in PhosAgro’s Energy Efficiency Programme, which helps keep track of electricity generation and consumption, energy intensity, etc.

The energy efficiency metrics are based on PhosAgro’s raw data and are calculated in accordance with the approved statistical methodologies.

In 2025, self‑generated electricity covered 41.3% of the Company’s production asset needs, up 3.9% y‑o‑y. In absolute terms, in‑house electricity generation rose by 194.1 mln kWh y‑o‑y, mainly due to the restart of a gas turbine power plant at the Cherepovets site after repairs. Total electricity consumption increased by 81.8 mln kWh (2.0%) y‑o‑y, driven by modernisation programmes at processing facilities and higher apatite ore mining at the Kirovsk branch of Apatit.

In 2025, Apatit used 375 mln kWh of carbon‑free electricity at its production sites, up 25% y‑o‑y. This means that mineral fertilizers supplied by the Volkhov and Balakovo production sites in 2025 were manufactured using exclusively green power purchased from the hydroelectric power plants. In addition, carbon‑free electricity was supplied to the Cherepovets site for the first time, totalling 108.9 mln kWh.

Promoting phosphogypsum utilisation

PhosAgro continued the use of phosphogypsum as a construction material at Apatit’s Volkhov and Balakovo sites. This helped reduce the volume of phosphogypsum sent to waste disposal facilities.

The Company completed testing of a new phosphogypsum‑based land reclamation agent designed for land restoration and fertility enhancement. Test results confirmed the environmental safety of the substance under recommended application conditions, and the draft technical documentation received a positive state environmental expert review. Production is planned at Apatit’s sites in Cherepovets, Balakovo, and Volkhov.

In the reporting year, extensive research was conducted into the properties of phosphogypsum as a road base material, including an assessment of the environmental impact of structures built from this material. The research confirmed the absence of environmental contamination. Using phosphogypsum in road pavement construction not only reduces waste but also lowers road‑building costs and extends road service life through improved surface quality.

Aluminium fluoride production expansion

The Company is developing a project for the further modernisation of production to raise aluminium fluoride output to 96 ktpa – sufficient to fully localise production of this product in Russia and meet 100% of domestic demand. Aluminium fluoride is a critically important component for the raw material security of Russia’s non‑ferrous metal industry. Its primary feedstock is fluosilicate acid – a by‑product of the Company’s mineral phosphate‑based fertilizer production. In metal industry applications, aluminium fluoride improves process efficiency by reducing energy consumption and environmental load.

PhosAgro Group has developed and now maintains an emissions management process that includes assessment of planned activities, discussion of relevant matters with a wide range of stakeholders, as well as monitoring and disclosing pollutant emissions. To effectively reduce its environmental impact, PhosAgro is running a programme to re‑equip production facilities and cut pollutant emissions.

PhosAgro takes part in the government’s Clean Air initiative, which aims to drastically reduce air pollution in major industrial cities across Russia. As part of the initiative, the Company implemented a number of measures, which helped reduce gross pollutant emissions in 2025 by 25% vs the 2017 level (project launch).

Air quality in sanitary protection areas near the Company’s production sites complies with applicable hygienic requirements.

Since 2019, PhosAgro has been implementing a programme to upgrade its sulphuric acid production and adopt a domestic energy efficient and environmentally safe sulphuric acid production technology. This technology utilises the Double Contact Double Absorption (DCDA) process for sulphuric acid production, developed by the Samoilov Scientific Research Institute for Fertilizers and Insectofungicides (NIUIF), part of PhosAgro Group. The programme includes the launch of sulphuric acid production units at the Company’s Cherepovets site and its Balakovo and Volkhov branches.

Key initiatives in 2025

Apatit participates in the Clean Air federal project as part of the Ecology national programme. In 2018–2025, Apatit focused on reducing air pollutant emissions at its production sites.

The Cherepovets branch fully implemented a comprehensive action plan, took additional measures to achieve emission quotas, modernised SK‑714 technological system, and introduced a domestic environmentally safe sulphuric acid production technology. During the upgrade, gas cleaning systems were reequipped and core equipment optimised.

At the Volkhov branch, the key activities to mitigate the negative impact on the air quality were implemented as part of an investment project to develop the Volkhov site: technical solutions to reduce per unit emissions and pollutant concentrations at the sanitary protection zone boundaries near residential areas were initially integrated into the design of new production lines and existing facility upgrades. This approach achieved a 68% reduction in per unit pollutant emissions compared to 2020 levels.

Key initiatives to reduce negative air quality impacts at the Balakovo branch included:

previously implemented measures at the sulphuric acid units enabled the positive downward trend in per unit atmospheric emissions to be maintained for the second consecutive year.

At the Kirovsk branch, annual dust suppression measures were carried out at beneficiation facilities’ tailings dumps, including chemical and biological stabilisation of dust‑emitting surfaces and industrial pilot testing of new dust‑suppression agents. As a result, more than 28 t of particulate matter – equivalent to 40% of total particulate emissions at the site – were prevented from entering the atmosphere.

Water is an essential resource for the Company. There is no shortage of water resources in the regions where our facilities are based. According to the Water Risk Atlas and Water Risk Filter, all PhosAgro production sites are located in areas with low or moderate fresh water scarcity. However, access to clean water is a major issue facing the world.

Risks and opportunities SASB RT‑CH‑140a.3

The main risks related to water consumption are water quality deterioration in water bodies across PhosAgro’s footprint and the Company’s non‑compliance with statutory requirements for limiting one’s negative impact on water bodies.

PhosAgro has implemented closed‑loop water recycling systems at its sites in Volkhov and Balakovo to reuse water in production processes.

Going forward, we plan to improve waste water management by focusing on maximum reuse of water through closed‑loop water recycling systems and better treatment of effluents discharged into water bodies in addition to ongoing monitoring of water bodies in the regions of operation.

The regulatory risks include tightened waste water quality requirements, as well as restrictions on the amount of water consumed and discharged into both water bodies and centralised waste water systems.

There were no incidents of non‑compliance associated with water quality permits, standards, and regulations in 2025.

To mitigate these risks, in 2020 we adopted the Water Strategy that sought to reduce water consumption and discharge and improve waste water quality.

The strategy is implemented at all PhosAgro sites, and we regularly analyse these measures to determine whether they are sufficient and effective enough to achieve our targets.

To identify the impact of the Company’s operations on water bodies, we monitor these bodies in accordance with adopted programmes by engaging our own certified laboratory and external certified laboratories.

Key initiatives in 2025

At the Cherepovets site, we continued to implement the second stage of the water use optimisation programme as part of our production upgrade initiative for 2020–2025. The unit for pumping treated effluent back to phosphate facility consumers was reconstructed, reducing waste water discharge by 0.87 mln m³ per year from 2022. At the nitrogen facility, basic design for a production waste water treatment system was completed, and engineering documentation for the industrial waste water management system at the neutralisation and treatment unit was finalised.

At the Kirovsk branch, a water reuse circuit following compressors at the ANBP‑2‑2 beneficiation plant was commissioned, reducing water consumption by 4.8 mln m³ per year.

At the Volkhov branch, the facility transitioned to a zero‑discharge water management scheme: domestic and municipal waste water treatment facilities were commissioned and discharge into the municipal network discontinued. Work continued on replacing river water with recirculated plant water in sulphuric acid production, reducing water withdrawal from natural sources by 14.7% compared with 2024.

The Balakovo branch worked to fully eliminate the transfer of domestic and municipal waste water to third parties, with loop closure through the treatment station planned.

Metrics and highlights

The per unit water withdrawal target was not achieved in the reporting year. Withdrawal volumes rose due to the need to reduce total salt content in the circulating water systems at the Balakovo branch and Cherepovets facility to improve heat transfer coefficients.

2025 highlights

PhosAgro’s Environmental Policy sets forth the Company’s obligations to preserve biodiversity, natural landscapes and habitats across its footprint and prevent its projects from causing any harm to the same.

Strategy and management approach GRI 101‑1The indicators are partially disclosed.

PhosAgro’s strategy for managing the conservation of biodiversity, natural landscapes, and ecosystems in its regions of operation is anchored in the provisions of the Company’s Environmental Policy and is guided by legal requirements and internal documents of the environmental management system.

In 2025, the Environmental Policy was revised: the updated version incorporates the key principles of the Kunming‑Montreal Framework and formalises the Company's biodiversity conservation commitments.

For a number of years, we have been working to preserve biodiversity and replenish biological resources. Since 2020, the Company has been developing comprehensive biodiversity protection programmes in partnership with research institutions. The effort is aimed at assessing and restoring environmental conditions across the Company’s footprint and establishing its priorities in protecting biodiversity based on indicator species monitoring.

Key initiatives in 2025

GRI 101‑2

A comprehensive environmental survey was conducted within the sanitary protection zone of Apatit’s nitrogen facility as part of the biodiversity conservation programme development

Compensatory afforestation was conducted on a 2.4 ha site in the Volkhov Forestry District (Leningrad region), where more than 1,460 Norway spruce saplings were planted.

The Company planted samplings of tree and shrub species.

The Company released young fish into water bodies across its regions of operation

Comprehensive biodiversity protection programmes

GRI 101‑2, GRI 101‑4 The indicators are partially disclosed.

Comprehensive biodiversity protection programmes were developed for the Volkhov branch, three of the Kirovsk branch’s facilities and the Cherepovets production site. Each programme includes a biodiversity monitoring plan covering descriptions of survey territories, the character and nature of operational impacts, information on indicator species, and parameters for assessing the effectiveness of biodiversity impact management measures and indicator species status.

Ecosystems in these areas often exhibited higher species diversity compared to baseline zones, likely due to restricted human access preserving ecosystem integrity.

Waste disposal is managed within pre‑approved designated areas at the Company’s facilities, with no involvement of additional territories. Increasing the share of waste diverted for recycling reduces pressure on these disposal sites and extends their operational lifespan.

Land disturbance from mining, waste disposal facility construction, and other construction work represents a further dimension of biodiversity impact. Mineral extraction is one of the Company’s core activities. The expansion of open‑pit and underground mining operations within permitted licence areas drives production growth and ensures stable product supply. Mining activities are conducted safely and with maximum efficiency. Reclamation for these sites is best to be implemented following resource depletion. The Company’s mining assets currently have operational lifespans extending beyond 2030.

In 2025, environmental surveys were conducted within the sanitary protection zone of Apatit’s nitrogen facility as part of the biodiversity conservation programme development, involving researchers from Cherepovets State University. The aim was to obtain information about the baseline status of the environment in the area.

The surveys recorded 231 species of higher plants, 85 species of terrestrial vertebrates, and 43 families of invertebrates, all found to be in satisfactory condition, with no special restoration or conservation measures required.

In 2025, we held research at the Volkhov branch as part of the programme for environmental monitoring of biota (flora and fauna) within the sanitary protection zone. The study revealed that the structure of animal species across the reviewed biotopes is typical for the region in question. 62 bird species from 12 orders were recorded across both the facility’s footprint and adjacent areas, and phytocoenosis composition and structure were monitored.
