August 9 marks the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples. Rosneft and its subsidiaries annually implement unique projects in the regions of their operations aimed at preserving national cultures and the traditional way of life of the local population.
Creating favorable living conditions and strengthening the identity and originality of indigenous peoples are significant areas of the Company's social work. Among the indigenous peoples supported by the Company are the Khanty, Mansi, Nenets, Selkups, Evenks, Evens (Lamuts), Dolgans, Yukaghirs, Nanais, Nivkhs and Ulta (Oroks).
In Krasnoyarsk Krai, with the support of RN-Vankor, the regional program for resettling indigenous residents from dilapidated and emergency housing to residential buildings adapted to living conditions in the Far North continues to be implemented. Over the past three years, more than 50 families have become participants.
RN-Uvatneftegaz provides indigenous people of the Tyumen region with fuel and equipment on a regular basis – snowmobiles, boat motors, electric generators, motor pumps and chainsaws. Indigenous families have already received more than 160 units of various equipment, facilitating farming in remote camps. The company also helps them with education in universities and colleges and promotes the improvement of their living conditions.
In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha is actively involved in the development of the settlement of Botuobuinsky nasleg in the Mirninsky district. With the assistance of oil workers, a multifunctional cultural center is being built in the village of Tas-Yuryakh, which will become an object of public and cultural life. Previously, a kindergarten and a multifunctional school stadium were built for the indigenous people of the region.
Also, with the support of Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha, the Congress of Reindeer Herders is held every four years – a large-scale event during which participants discuss issues related to the preservation of the traditional way of life, attracting young people to national crafts and other relevant topics. The congress is of great importance for the indigenous peoples of the North, traditionally engaged in reindeer herding – the Evens, Evenks, Dolgans, Yukaghirs and others.
Samotlorneftegaz is implementing a unique project in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Yugra to connect indigenous residents of remote villages to the Internet. Over three years, more than 3.6 thousand residents of Yugra's ancestral lands have already received access to the World Wide Web.
Vostsibneftegaz implements social grant projects for residents of Evenkia in Krasnoyarsk Krai. In 2025, oil workers supported scientific research into fish resources in the Central Siberian Biosphere Reserve, as well as a project by the Siberian Federal University to update the list of rare animal species in the region.
In 2025, Komsomolsk Oil Refinery held a patriotic motor rally from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the village of Verkhnyaya Ekon in Khabarovsk Krai, where the Nanai people, including war heroes, originally lived. This year, for the 110th anniversary of the village of Verkhnyaya Ekon, Komsomolsk oil workers presented the indigenous people with a festive fireworks display. Komsomolsk Oil Refinery is also implementing the Achambori School of Traditions project in Khabarovsk Krai, aimed at preserving the Nanai language and national sports.
The Company's subsidiaries also provide support for holding significant national holidays of the indigenous peoples of the North, such as Fisherman's Day, Reindeer Herder's Day, Raven Day (a holiday celebrating the arrival of spring), and others. The events are attended by a large number of guests who become familiar with the traditions of the indigenous peoples, learn about folklore, participate in master classes, taste national cuisine, and purchase products of traditional crafts.
