Between 2021 and 2025, Rosneft enterprises made a significant contribution to the conservation of nature and biodiversity, planting a total of approximately 46 million tree seedlings and saplings.
Every year on March 21, the International Day of Forests is celebrated, which was established by the UN General Assembly to draw attention to the issues of forest conservation and sustainable use of forest resources.
In 2025, employees of Rosneft subsidiaries planted 8.1 million tree saplings of various species during reforestation activities. RN-Yuganskneftegaz, Verkhnechonskneftegaz, East Siberian Oil and Gas Company, RN-Nyaganneftegaz, and RN-Uvatneftegaz made the largest contributions to reforestation.
RN-Yuganskneftegaz employees planted 3.1 million conifer seedlings across an area of over 830 hectares in forestry areas of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra. Reforestation was carried out in areas damaged by wildfires in the Agansky, Uraisky, Samarovsky, Nefteyugansky, and Yugansky forestry areas. The Siberian spruce, Scots pine, and Siberian cedar seedlings were adapted to local climate conditions, increasing the survival rate of the young trees.
Verkhnechonskneftegaz planted 1.1 million Siberian pine seedlings across 540 hectares in the Irkutsk and Kirov forestries, which are included within the boundaries of the Baikal Natural Territory, as well as in the Kuytun forestry in the Irkutsk Region.
Environmentalists from the East Siberian Oil and Gas Company have planted approximately 1 million conifer seedlings across an area of over 310 hectares in Siberia. To improve the survival rate of the young trees, the oil company also implemented agronomic management. Clearing the plantings of weeds and improving the soil will facilitate the successful establishment of a forest. Furthermore, the company has been supporting scientific research aimed at preserving the fragile ecosystem of Evenkia for over 10 years.
RN-Nyaganneftegaz planted over 838,000 Siberian and Scots pine seedlings over 240 hectares. RN-Uvatneftegaz planted 744,000 pine seedlings over 200 hectares in the Tyumen Region and provided agronomic maintenance for previously planted forest trees.
In Yamal, RN-Purneftegaz employees planted 443,000 pine saplings over 78 hectares, Sevkomneftegaz planted 83,000 over 26 hectares, and Kharampurneftegaz planted 24,000 over 208 hectares. Environmental specialists from the companies also carried out agronomic maintenance.
Bashneft activists planted 255,000 coniferous trees in the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Tyumen Region, establishing a young forest covering 73 hectares. A key project for 2025 is the planting of 24,000 trees on the shores of Lake Aslikul, the largest lake in Bashkortostan. This initiative aims to address the environmental problem of shallowing and swamping of the lake's coastal zone.
Samotlorneftegaz has planted over 200,000 conifer seedlings in the Ural Federal District. Within a few years, a full-fledged pine forest will form on these greened areas, covering a total area of over 60 hectares.
In 2025, Samaraneftegaz volunteers planted 15,500 pine seedlings and 4,000 other forest trees in the Samara Region.
Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz planted more than 700,000 coniferous saplings in the Karatuz, Tyukhtet, and Uzhur forestry districts of Krasnoyarsk Krai, covering an area of 268 hectares.
RN-Vankor carried out agricultural work on an area of almost 400 hectares in Krasnoyarsk Krai and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, caring for 800,000 previously planted pine and Siberian spruce seedlings.
Rosneft employees and their family members regularly participate in various environmental initiatives, including landscaping and beautification of city and park areas, and in national campaigns such as Green Spring, Forest Planting Day, and Save the Forest.
For example, as part of the international "Garden of Memory" campaign dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, Udmurtneft activists planted over 24,000 young spruce trees. Samaraneftegaz volunteers joined the initiative and landscaped 7 hectares of land with over 33,000 pine seedlings. Orenburgneft employees, together with activists from the "Movement of the First," planted over 10,000 pine seedlings in the 4.5 hectare Buzuluk pine forest, which had been damaged by a wildfire. As part of the campaign, the Syzran Oil Refinery planted 3,000 pine and birch saplings in the Racheyskoye forestry. The young forest will serve as a reminder of the immortal heroism of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.
Preserving the environment for future generations is an integral part of Rosneft's corporate culture and social policy. The company implements large-scale environmental programs aimed at minimizing its environmental impact, improving the sustainability of its production, and preserving and replenishing natural ecosystems.
