World Recycling Day is celebrated in Russia and other countries on November 15. The day aims to draw attention to the need for sustainable resource use and the importance of recycling.

Rosneft aims to achieve leadership in minimizing environmental impact and eco-friendly production. One of the priority goals of the corporate strategy through 2030 is improving the efficiency of waste management processes.

The Company's subsidiaries continuously implement projects that promote the transition to a circular economy.

In 2025, RN-Vankor sent more than 187 tons of waste oils for recycling, and more than 2,000 tons since the plant began operations.

The Saratov Oil Refinery and the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Company have recycled over 3,500 tons of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Each such recycling effort helps reduce environmental pollution and conserve natural resources.

As part of environmental campaigns such as "Bumbattle," "Ecomarathon," "Recycle Paper – Save a Tree," and others, Rosneft enterprises organize the separate collection of paper, plastic, scrap metal, glass, and electronic waste, which are sent to designated recycling or disposal points. The proceeds are donated to charitable causes and volunteer environmental events.

In 2025, the Company's subsidiaries recycled a record one thousand tons of waste paper. This figure is equivalent to saving 19,000 trees, two million liters of drinking water, and one million kW of electricity.

For the second year in a row, Orenburgneft volunteers, together with schoolchildren and activists from the Movement of the First, organized the "Eco-School" campaign, which involved 20 children's educational institutions in the region. Each school regularly holds eco-lessons, and special eco-boxes are located on each floor where students and teachers collect paper. In 2025, the organizers used the proceeds from the paper collection to purchase fruit tree saplings, which the winners of the campaign—students from School No. 10 in Buzuluk—planted in the city.

Samotlorneftegaz is actively involved in environmental education for young people. In Nizhnevartovsk, the company-supported youth club "EcoQuant" is successfully operating, teaching young people how to respect the environment. The classes are taught, among other things, by company volunteers. Samotlor oil workers are also greening public spaces in Nizhnevartovsk and planting coniferous trees in the Urals Federal District, promoting the sustainable development of ecosystems and the preservation of biodiversity.

The Company's facilities place special emphasis on plastic recycling. Following the environmental campaigns "Kind Caps," "Caps, Surrender!", and "Caps of Kindness," over three tons of plastic caps were sent for recycling in the first 10 months of 2025.

Saratov Oil Refinery employees collected 82 kg of plastic bottle caps and purchased herbivorous fish fry—common carp, silver carp, and grass carp. The fry will help clear excess vegetation from the Volgograd Reservoir, which is crucial for preserving its ecosystem.

RN-Northwest employees regularly collect plastic and provide assistance to children with special needs, homeless animals, and plant trees in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

Volunteers from ROSPAN INTERNATIONAL, students from the Rosneft Class, and representatives of the youth group "Movement of the First" learned how to recycle plastic bottle caps. The caps were sorted by color and then shredded using a special bicycle, the speed of which determines the fineness of the plastic shavings. The shavings were turned into new items—keychains, tablets, cardholders, and Christmas tree decorations.

The Achinsk Oil Refinery sent nearly a ton of plastic to the Divnogorsk Polymer Products Plant for recycling. It is used to make furniture fittings and fasteners for the assembly and repair of children's playgrounds and sports fields. These playgrounds are covered with crushed tires—the plant recycled 9 tons of them in 2025.

Bashneft-Novoil donated 210 kg of used batteries for recycling, winning the large-scale environmental campaign "Batteries Recycling," organized by the Ufa city administration. The entire volume of recycled materials was sent to a specialized recycling plant in Chelyabinsk.

As part of the "Green Office" project, Samara and Bashkir oil workers installed special containers in the offices of Samaraneftegaz, Samaranefteprodukt, and Bashneft enterprises. Paper, plastic, glass, and used batteries are placed in separate containers. Separating recyclable materials allows for the separation of recyclable materials from those subject to disposal, such as used batteries.

RN-Chernozemye volunteers participated in the "Ecotaxis" campaign ahead of World Recycling Day. In one day, they transported and sent for recycling 20 kg of plastic bottle caps, 10 kg of used batteries, and nearly 70 kg of waste paper.

The Company's subsidiaries actively collaborate with eco-houses and multifunctional eco-friendly coworking spaces with recycling collection points. Environmental lessons are regularly held in corporate "Rosneft Classes." Schoolchildren and employees attend exhibitions, lectures, and environmental workshops.
