With the support of Rosneft, children from Moscow's Family Support Centers attended an educational tour of the "City of Professions" at the KidZania children's park. Eighty children aged 4 to 17 participated.

During the excursion, the schoolchildren visited several exhibits, at each of which they were able to master various professions.

At the Rosneft exhibit, the children explored three locations: an oil production section, an oil refinery, and a gas station. Company volunteers and the center's instructors explained how oil equipment works. Afterward, the children were able to "extract" oil, then send it for refining and to a lab for quality testing.

The students also learned about the processing stages oil undergoes before being converted into gasoline, diesel fuel, and other petroleum products. They observed the process of fuel being delivered from a tanker to a gas pump and learned how fuel quality is checked upon receipt.

An educational excursion for students from Moscow's family-oriented education centers to the "City of Professions" is part of the corporate volunteer program "Platform of Good Deeds."

Reference:

Volunteering is an important element of Rosneft's corporate culture. The Company implements the "Good Deeds Platform" program, through which employees assist families and children in difficult life situations, provide targeted assistance to veterans, and conduct patriotic, environmental education, and other events. In 2024, Rosneft enterprises organized nearly 2,000 volunteer events and projects, involving 106,000 employees.

The East Siberian Oil and Gas Company (part of Rosneft) has planted nearly a million conifer seedlings in Siberia. Reforestation activities in 2025 were carried out in the Achinsky and Karatuzsky forestry districts of Krasnoyarsk Krai. The total reforestation area exceeded 310 hectares.

Siberian spruce seedlings were selected for reforestation as the species best adapted to local soil and climate conditions. The oil workers also implemented agronomic management to improve the survival rate of the young trees. These measures are aimed at clearing the plantings of weeds and improving the soil, which will facilitate the successful establishment of the forest.

Over four years, Vostsibneftegaz's contribution to the restoration of Siberian forests amounted to 3.5 million coniferous trees on an area of more than 1,000 hectares.

Preserving the environment for future generations is an integral part of Rosneft's corporate culture and social policy. The Company implements a number of large-scale environmental programs aimed at minimizing its environmental impact and improving the sustainability of its production.

The growth points for global oil consumption are in the Asia-Pacific region, said Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on Fuel and Energy Sector Development Strategy and Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company.

"Forecasts from leading global analytical agencies indicate that China's oil imports could increase by 1.4 million barrels per day by 2030. According to the IEA, oil demand in neighboring India should increase by 2.5 million barrels per day over the next ten years," Sechin said at the opening of the 7th Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum in Beijing.

One of the key drivers of oil demand is the petrochemical sector, noted Igor Sechin.

"China has become the world's largest exporter of petrochemicals. Oxford University estimates that this sector will increase the country's oil consumption by over 1 million barrels per day by 2030," he added.

The global oil industry continues to suffer from underinvestment, according to Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on Fuel and Energy Sector Development Strategy and Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company.

"Today, the global oil industry continues to suffer from underinvestment. Exploration spending is being cut particularly sharply," Sechin said at the opening of the 7th Russia-China Energy Business Forum (RCEBF) in Beijing.

According to him, this is one of the reasons why the organic reserve replacement rate for Western oil majors has been only around 40% over the past five years.

"At the same time, Rosneft consistently exceeds this figure thanks to its extensive resource base and the high efficiency of its geological exploration work," said Igor Sechin.

The experience of the last 10 years has shown that attempts to displace Russia and China from the global market are doomed to failure, according to Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on Fuel and Energy Sector Development Strategy and Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company.

"Let me remind you that, like China, Russia has been under increasing external pressure for many years, the primary goal of which is to push our two countries out of the global market. The experience of the last 10 years has shown that these attempts are doomed to failure," he said at the opening of the 7th Russia-China Energy Business Forum (RCEBF) in Beijing.

In this context, Igor Sechin also recalled the words spoken by the country's leadership on the first day of the Great Patriotic War, which are more relevant today than ever: "Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours!"

The head of Rosneft noted that in the coming years, the global economy will undergo profound and complex changes, the signs of which are already visible: rising debt, loss of trust in the established financial system, the search for alternatives, including gold, uneven population growth in developing countries, uncontrolled migration, and new sources of energy consumption growth, including data centers, which are shifting the balance and depriving consumers of affordable energy. "Deepening our strategic cooperation is the tool for countering these global challenges. Asymmetrical responses will be found," Sechin added.

In the final part of his report, he quoted a well-known Chinese proverb from the Book of Changes: “If people have a common soul, then their shared strength is so great that it can cut through the strongest metal and overcome any obstacle.”

Sechin also congratulated those present on the opening of the 7th Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum and quoted a statement from the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1961: "Our goals are clear, our objectives are defined. Let's get to work, comrades!"

Continuing sanctions against Russia and China will bring about another economic crisis in Western countries, according to Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on Fuel and Energy Sector Development Strategy and Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company.

"The West's continued aggressive sanctions policy against both Russia and China will undoubtedly bring about another economic crisis in Western countries. Not all Western politicians realize the risks they face," Sechin said at the opening of the 7th Russia-China Energy Business Forum (RCEBF) in Beijing.

He recalled that local goals are being set today to strengthen sanctions in the energy sector, energy assets are being seized in international jurisdictions, and instead of achieving the stated goals, energy consumers in Western countries are already in a dramatic situation.

"The efficiency with which Russia and China supply their economies with electricity is the foundation of our development, our natural advantage. It is a fundamental factor in our competitiveness. Thanks to forward-looking energy policies, the cost of electricity for the industrial sector in our countries is currently more than half that of the US and three to four times lower than in some EU countries," Sechin said.

He noted that with the average market price of oil at $60 per barrel, an American car owner pays $3 per gallon of gasoline. Meanwhile, an electricity consumer in the US, with the current residential price of electricity at 18 cents per kilowatt-hour (i.e., more than $6 per gallon of gasoline), effectively pays $125 per barrel of oil equivalent.

Meanwhile, electricity prices are even higher in the European Union. In Germany and Italy, electricity costs of 40 cents per kilowatt-hour (for households) translate into $14 per gallon of gasoline, equivalent to $300 per barrel of oil equivalent. "Continued sanctions pressure can only lead to a significant increase in real prices," says Igor Sechin.

"The forecast is very realistic," he noted. "Such electricity costs will hinder the development of new projects, including data centers, make it virtually impossible to convert transport to electric traction, require increased budget expenditures to subsidize housing and utilities, and, ultimately, create the preconditions for a decline in economic potential and a sharp increase in household spending in Western countries."

In his opinion, deprived of access to Russia's competitive resource base and China's component platform, Western opponents could lose their technological and economic influence. This would create the preconditions for the risks of civilizational redistribution.

"As the outstanding Chinese strategist and thinker Sun Tzu said: 'Tactics without strategy is simply vanity before defeat,'" Sechin concluded.

"Russia today is the only country in the world with expertise across the entire nuclear fuel cycle, from uranium mining to nuclear fuel disposal," said Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on Fuel and Energy Sector Development Strategy and Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company.

In developing its nuclear industry, China is relying on the latest technological advances from leading nuclear powers, including Russia. Russia has contributed to the construction of four power units at the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant. Four more nuclear units are planned for completion in the next few years, at the Tianwan and Xudapu Nuclear Power Plants. Partnerships are also developing in the supply of raw materials and the production of fuel cells using Russian technology.

"Russia is also assisting China in implementing a project to build a fast-neutron reactor, which provides deeper fuel burnup and higher efficiency. Let me remind you that our country is the sole owner of this technology," Sechin noted.

Sechin also emphasized the economic benefits of joint projects. The cost of the most advanced Russian VVER-1200 reactor is half that of the American AP-1000.

China is seeking to achieve independence from geopolitical instability by diversifying its energy balance, said Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on Fuel and Energy Complex Development Strategy and Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company.

"The challenges facing China's economy are driving the need to diversify the country's energy balance, aimed at achieving independence from geopolitical instability and the associated risks," he said at the opening of the 7th Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum (RCEBF) in Beijing.

He quoted Chinese President Xi Jinping's apt statement: "China needs to hold the energy rice bowl in its hands." Partnership in this area is a priority for Russia and China, Sechin added.

Today, the coal sector is experiencing a second wind. "Last year, China issued permits for the construction of approximately 100 gigawatts of new coal-fired generation. Unlike many Western countries, China understands well that alternative energy can only complement traditional energy, not replace it," said the executive secretary of the Fuel and Energy Commission. Meanwhile, Russia accounts for more than a quarter of China's coal imports.

Cooperation between the two countries in the gas sector is also developing dynamically – Russia’s share of supplies to China amounts to more than 20%.

Today, China has also become a recognized global leader in renewable energy. In recent years, the country has commissioned the largest volume of new capacity and accounts for over 70% of the global production of equipment for the green economy.
