Management
Polymetal's strategic goal is to become the leading Russian precious metals mining company that continuously generates value for its shareholders. One of the most important conditions for achieving this goal is creation of an effective corporate governance system. The Company's corporate governance is founded on the principles of rigorously observing the rights and interests of its shareholders, clearly delineating management responsibilities and providing strict accountability, transparency and effective control of financial activities. It is a key factor in both the Company's market competitiveness and its pace of development. The geographical distribution of Polymetal's business, its broad capital investment program, the difficult natural conditions in which the Company operates and stiff competition all demand serious attention to corporate management. The Company fully accounts for the specifics of its business and structures its internal procedures to achieve the optimal result in all of its areas of activity.
