NLMK’s efforts to protect human rights in all the regions where it operates are coordinated by the HR Department, covering 100% of the Company’s assets. If necessary, experts from other functional areas of the Company are invited to participate (in particular, the Occupational Health and Safety team) in order to safeguard its corporate interests and to manage risks. NLMK’s senior management team is always involved in making important decisions.
