PRINCIPLE

Sustainable Development Context

When preparing the Report, the Company considers the results of its activities in the context of sustainable development. The Report outlines all significant issues, indicators, and initiatives in the field of preserving economic sustainability, improving environmental safety, and strengthening social stability in society. It also examines and analyzes aspects of human rights observance, ensuring cybersecurity and the level of combating and preventing corruption.

Accuracy

The Company is committed to ensuring that the information provided in the Report is accurate and detailed enough so that stakeholders can use it to make decisions with a high degree of confidence. The acceptable level of error in the data is minimized. Data are presented using the generally accepted international units and calculated using standard coefficients.

Balance

As part of observing the principle of balance, the Report reflects both favorable operating results and the problems the Company faces. The degree of attention to various issues is proportional to their relative materiality.

Clarity

The Company makes every effort to ensure that the information presented in the Report is clear, understandable, and useful for various stakeholders. The Report contains a list of abbreviations explaining the industry, scientific, and technical special terms and abbreviations.

Comparability

The Report ensures the comparability of the results of the Company's activities over the past periods. To ensure a comparison of the Company's performance with the results of other companies, when preparing the Report, the indicators included in the GRI and SASB guidelines and technical protocols were used.

Completeness

The Company is strongly committed to providing the fullest possible disclosure on the economic, environmental and social aspects of its operations. The set of issues reflected in the Report is sufficient for the users of the Report to assess the performance of the Company as a whole and its contribution to the sustainable development of society.

Timeliness

The Company understands the need for timely submission of information, therefore, the publication of the Report is carried out annually, within the time limits established by current legislation for the publication of annual reports.

Verifiability

The reliability of the data in the Report is confirmed by the Revision Commission. The Audit Committee evaluates approaches to disclosing information regarding the Company. The Board of Directors preliminarily reviews the Report and submits it for approval to the General Meeting of Shareholders. An important requirement is the independent verification of the selected information and the public assurance of the Report.

In preparing this Report, we are also guided by the following:

We strive to present information in a balanced manner in accordance with the interests of each group. The Company uses various forms and mechanisms of interaction with stakeholders to achieve sustainable development goals effectively. The procedure for interaction with key stakeholders is defined in the corporate standards.

To determine the material topics of the report, the Company analyzes and takes into account the aspects that affect the interests of the Company itself and its stakeholders as well as the aspects that affect the industry, social, environmental, and corporate factors in the reporting period.

The Company uses a reasonable approach to select the topics of the Report content. This approach is based on interaction with various stakeholder groups and their representatives, which allows for identifying the relevance of the topics concerning the Company's activities and taking into account their opinions and recommendations for analyzing opportunities to improve the effectiveness of socially oriented programs and investments in sustainable development. In the course of preparing the Report, the recommendations of GRI and SASB standards were analyzed, interviews were conducted with managers and specialists of the Company, group and individual meetings.

SASB standards focus on issues that affect how a business creates and maintains enterprise value, i.e. focused on "financial materiality". At the same time, the GRI standard goes beyond SASB's focus on issues that may affect the value of an enterprise by assessing "impact materiality" or the economic, environmental

and social impact on the environment beyond its own financial prospects. Taking into consideration that the financial materiality of individual business areas of the Company may be insignificant within the entire TATNEFT Group, and the materiality criterion for the Group may exceed the cost of an individual business area, to ensure the principle of comparability we proceed from the position that the material topics of both standards have priority assessed by the degree of influence on stakeholders.

34 potentially material topics were identified, which were considered by the Company's Management Board for Sustainable Development, stakeholders were identified in accordance with the GRI recommendations followed by the assessment of each topic's impact on stakeholders according to four criteria. A survey of eight groups of stakeholders and experts was conducted. The scores for all criteria were summed up. Based on the obtained data array, a frequency diagram (histogram) was made in accordance with the Gaussian normal distribution function. Topics with a score of 742 or more points became the threshold for inclusion in the list of material ones.

MATERIAL TOPICS

The assessment of material topics identified 21 topics that met the materiality criteria. Industry standards SASB and GRI provide lists of potentially material topics. It was revealed during the analysis that stakeholders did not recognize some of the topics of the standard as material note: highlighted in grey in the table). The Company believes that these topics are regulated in detail by national legislation and do not need additional regulation by internal standards. Therewith, approaches to these topics are partially disclosed in this Report.

Compared to the list of material topics in the report of the previous period, there were the following changes:

  • not considered to be material:
  • ↗ Anti-corruption

recognized as significant:

  • ↗ Infrastructural transformations
  • ↗ Resource efficiency
  • ↗ Ethics and good faith

ognized as material by expert decision:

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

GRI 2–12, 2–22, 2–23 TCFD 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 SASB EM-EP-420a.1, 420a.4

Our Principles

The Company's strategy includes sustainable growth and the provision of favorable economic and social conditions for business development based on the most efficient use of all types of resources and creating value for stakeholders at each stage of activities. The Company recognizes the global challenges, issues, and trends related to sustainable development aspects, adheres to the provisions of the UN Global Compact, the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the G20/OECD Fundamental Principles of Corporate Governance and the Social Charter of Russian Business, the RUIE Approaches to the Formation of National Indexes of Corporate Sustainability, Responsibility, and Openness for Sustainable Development.

Our sustainability is based on the corporate values and the principles of responsible business. The Company accepts the commitments in the field of human rights, labor, environment, and countering corruption, which are reflected in the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, and is committed to ensure that shareholders, partners, suppliers, and contractors also adhere to these Principles, creating a culture of integrity and responsibility. The Company's mission, values, as well as goals and strategic principles, are in line with the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Considering its business lines, the Company's priority focus is on the areas and objectives of UN SDGs that it can implement as efficiently as possible by managing its capabilities and resources. We cooperate closely with stakeholders in making efficient efforts to achieve the UN SDGs and adhere to the principle of precaution while employing measures in advance to prevent and mitigate potential adverse consequences in all business areas.

Management Approach

The Company is improving approaches to managing sustainable development aspects (ESG aspects) based on the full integration of respective goals with the Company's strategy. When making any business decisions, we take into consideration the objectives of preserving the environment, reducing the carbon footprint, improving social infrastructure, expanding innovative opportunities, economic growth, and improving living standards in the areas where TATNEFT Group operates. Targeted programs are based on an open dialogue with the local community and stakeholders, which improves the targeting of the Company's initiatives and decision-making transparency.

In the strategic context, the Company's Board of Directors considers sustainable development issues, including analysis of key trends in the oil and gas industry and the development of business areas, innovation policy, programs focused on social aspects, climate/environmental issues, HR management, and other areas that consolidate the sustainability of TATNEFT Group's development. Direct involvement of top management in ensuring internal factors of sustainable development helps create an efficient system for managing the ESG aspects. Assessment of the sustainable development results is integrated into the incentive framework which is based on evaluating the KPI effectiveness. The KPI system includes SDG metrics for all goal leaders and business line managers. The indicators of the ESG goal map are integrated into the tools for monitoring strategy implementation, business planning, and management of processes and projects.

ENERGY OF CREATION

Statement of continued support for the UN Global Compact

Update of Strategy 2030

TATNEFT is an active participant in the global process of achieving a sustainable future. We have carried out extensive and effective work to reduce the impact on climate aspects, improve efficiency in the economic, social, and environmental areas from our activities.

In 2022, the Company's Board of Directors updated Strategy 2030 integrating ESG aspects into the business model. The Company's long-term goal is based on the vector of achieving carbon neutrality in terms of controlled greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We are implementing measures to reduce and offset our environmental impact, developing low-carbon technologies, and pursuing diversification of our business.

As key levers for decarbonization, we are improving the energy efficiency of our operations, increasing the use of associated petroleum gas, reducing methane emissions, using biological methods of carbon footprint reduction, and have launched projects to capture, dispose of, and beneficial use of carbon dioxide.

Given the dynamic geopolitical situation in 2023, the Board of Directors was focused on the impact that key trends exerted on the energy industry and the Company's business model. In the reporting year, the Board of Directors identified risks of changes in the dominant trends:

  • Global trends: aging and growing global population, urbanization, climate change and "green thinking" in society, emergence of transcarbon regulation, technological advancement, and expanding geopolitical conflicts
  • Trends specific to energy companies: slowing oil demand growth, energy transition and competition between fuels, development of the OPEC+ agreement and its constraints, increasing cost competition in the oil industry
  • Trends specific to Russian energy companies: growing tax burden on the oil industry, introduction of sanction-related restrictions and consequences thereof, staff shortages, increased risks at production facilities

Risk-Based Approach

The external environment has changed, which requires that we should be more proactive in assessing the Company's strategic risks, primarily those relevant for the next three years. The Company assesses and ranks risks by business area quarterly and works to mitigate potential negative consequences.

In setting ambitious long-term goals, the Company considers some of the most pressing external challenges to be:

  • ↗ High volatility of oil prices and restrictions in export markets;
  • ↗ Escalating competition of producers in the markets, resulting from technology development (including in shale oil and gas production);
  • ↗ Intensification of noncompetitive economic warfare methods due to the sanctions policy of unfriendly countries;
  • ↗ Slowing the growth and changing the structure of global energy demand, including the gradual replacement of hydrocarbons with other types of energy;
  • ↗ Discrimination of Russian fuel and energy companies in foreign markets due to regulatory changes, including under the pretext of climate and environmental policy;
  • ↗ Challenges related to the need to develop technological and raw material sovereignty;
  • ↗ Risks associated with human rights violations throughout the supply chain and in the regions of operation.

The Strategy provides an exhaustive list of steps to reduce the impact of external threats and challenges.

Scenario Analysis

Sustainability planning means assessing risks and opportunities and integrating them into the value chain—from project design and investment program to the full life cycle of a project, products, and services. The Company applies a scenario approach to strategic planning. The strategic options are being tested for sustainability against the below energy demand scenarios, including the climate scenario for the development of the global economy and energy, which involves achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The Baseline Scenario of Strategy 2030 is built upon the socioeconomic development of the Russian Federation as forecasted by the Ministry of Economic Development. The scenario assumes a gradual transformation of the energy system: the structure of global primary energy consumption changes; there is an increase in demand for renewables, biomass, nuclear, and hydroelectric power generation, while oil and natural gas will remain the main sources of primary energy consumption through 2050.

The Climate Scenario is based on the "Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050" scenario of the International Energy Agency and assumes an accelerated energy transition (against the backdrop of tightening climate policies), a reduction in demand for liquid hydrocarbons to 83.7 million barrels per day by 2030 and to 35.7 million barrels per day by 2050, as well as a change in the structure of global primary energy consumption in favor of renewable energy (including hydropower)—to keep the global average temperature increase by 2100 to 1.5 ⁰C above preindustrial levels.

The High Oil Price Scenario is based on the International Energy Agency's "Declared Climate Policies" scenario. It is characterized by a slower energy transition and no tightening of climate regulations or new environmental initiatives, which leads to a global average temperature increase of 2.5 ⁰C above preindustrial levels in the current century.

The results of stress testing of the Group's financial indicators in the climate scenario indicate an acceptable level of impact of climate risks on the Company's value compared to the baseline scenario. The Company will continue to work on improving its asset portfolio's resilience to the climate scenario.

Sustainability Concept

The focus of the updated Strategy is on climate aspects, preservation of a favorable environment, and social development factors in the Company's operation regions. In monitoring the updated strategy, the Board of Directors and its committees pay particular attention to progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

Despite changes in the external environment, the Company maintains its strong position due to its resource potential, technological competencies, and business diversification. TATNEFT pays special attention to increasing its project portfolio's resilience to climate change risks. According to the recommendation of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the risks and opportunities related to climate change and their impact on the Company are analyzed annually within the overall corporate strategy monitoring. Currently, the cost of greenhouse gas emissions is calculated and considered for all medium and large investment projects.

The Company recognizes that integrating sustainable development principles into its Strategy is among the key factors in ensuring long-term sustainability. This will allow the business to adapt to changes and create new opportunities for its development—mainly by improving operational efficiency and reducing energy consumption, diversifying and increasing the portfolio share of the nonfuel segment, developing renewable energy, and increasing the share of low-carbon and secondary raw materials, thus ensuring competitiveness globally.

ALIGNMENT WITH OBJECTIVES OF INDUSTRY STRATEGIES

INTEGRATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

We are gradually implementing our sustainable development goals in special events and programs. Therewith, the movement towards global goals has led the Company to legitimate questions about selfidentification and realizing the course of development. In 2022–2023, we accomplished significant work to embed principles of sustainability growth into the 2030 Strategy and revise the Mission and Vision; we defined a global goal of becoming a sustainable Company on an infinite horizon.

The progressive and sustainable growth of the Company's value is ensured by investing in efficient and competitive projects. The Company's investment policy is aimed at achieving strategic goals. The key investment priority is to increase investment and operational efficiency, providing technological solutions aimed at minimizing the adverse impact on the environment and assessing the social impacts of the investment projects. The Company maintains a balance of investments in strategic projects in key business segments, which corresponds to the achievement of strategic and operational business goals.

INVESTMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION

The Company's investment activities in 2023 were carried out taking into account the search for alternative manufacturers in conditions of an unstable geopolitical situation and established restrictions on oil production and elaboration of technical and commercial proposals with potential equipment suppliers in the area of import substitution.

As part of the implementation of the Strategy 2030 to increase the Company Value, business plans for 2024 were drawn up with an 18% increase in the investment component. Development of exploration and production, oil and gas refining and petrochemicals remain priority areas of investment. Projects are ranked on an ongoing basis with a focus on operational efficiency, the availability of own funds and the ability to raise capital through government subsidies and debt financing.

INVESTMENT POLICY

2021 2022 2023

Starting from 2020, changes in greenhouse gas emissions are calculated for investment projects taking into account Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 assessments. Information on changes in carbon footprint is included in the standard investment project passport

The 57% growth of investments compared to 2022 is due to the increased investments in the oil production efficiency, the petrochemical sector, the acquisition of a tire business, new assets for the retail and wholesale of fuel, storage and logistics.

Investment Portfolio Structure

ACCOUNTING FOR CHANGES

Due to changes in the macroeconomic situation, the effectiveness of investment projects may not reach target values, which entails a decrease in the value of assets and must be reflected in the financial statements. To reconcile the carrying amounts of assets to their recoverable amount, the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion of Financial Conditions

and Results of Operations (MD&A) include amounts and explanations for exceptional items, including impairment of super viscous oil producing assets, exploration assets, social assets, for which it is not expected to gain future economic benefits, and other assets.

Exceptional items (reserves), RUB billion

FUND RAISING

The Company's activities are based on the efficient use of financial resources to support production and investment activities. The Company takes a conservative approach to loan structuring with the focus on minimizing risks and benefiting from favorable financial leverage.

Principle

The main criteria for selecting long-term credit instruments are as follows: the expected credit amount, lending term, and target orientation. In the case of raising long-term loans directed to the investment program financing, attention is paid to the compliance of the loan commercial terms with the basic investment parameters of a particular project. A high priority is given to the possibility of structuring loans with the repayments to be made out of additional cash flows generated from the implementation of new investment projects.

Tools

Due to the good credit history, high credit ratings, and low debt level, the Group has access to various debt financing instruments, such as short-term revolving credit facilities, bilateral loans, syndicated loans, subsidized loans, and exchange-traded bonds. The Company maintains a close watch on the key drivers of the debt capital market and, when appropriate, implements strategies to mitigate market risks, including those related to interest rate fluctuations.

PRODUCT AND SERVICE SAFETY FOR CONSUMER HEALTH, AND LABELING

The Company has a strong commitment to providing reliable information on its products and services, including their compliance with the industry quality standards, information on environmental performance and climate impact.

Certification

Information on the product components is set out in the product specifications. All marketable products are identified using quality certificates and by applying labels on a packaging unit of the products.

Marketable products undergo the necessary certification and homologation procedures. Certain category products exported undergo REACH certification and are accompanied with a material safety data sheet. Verification is carried out by obtaining an opinion on the finished product compliance with the unified sanitary-epidemiological and hygienic requirements for products subject to sanitary-epidemiological surveillance.

Safety Data Sheets

To ensure safety of consumers, safety data sheets have been developed for each marketable product. A product safety data sheet is a mandatory component of the technical documentation for the products, which is primarily designed to provide a consumer with information on the safety of industrial use, storage, transportation, and disposal (liquidation) of products as well as information on substances that may have an impact on the environment and the consumer's health. The safety data sheet is available for each petrochemical marketable product.

Digital Product Data Sheet

The Company implements automated accounting systems for manufactured products (product data sheets). A digital data sheet is a summary of technical characteristics, classification data, information on suppliers, manufacturers, certificates of conformity, logistic characteristics and other significant information. As a rule, this technology is used for internal consumption and management reporting.

At the end of 2023, the Company supported the initiative for expanded consumer awareness raising on the product properties. The tire business prepares digital product data sheets that will help consumers make a more informed decision when buying tires and give due regard not only technical and price parameters, but also the impact on the environment. The data sheet is a tool to expand knowledge on the tire composition, calculate the carbon footprint during transportation and production, which also gives useful advice on the proper storage, transportation and disposal of a tire at the end of its life cycle.

Labeling

All manufactured products are labeled. Information on the product components, data on substances that may have an environmental or social impact, information on how to use the product safely and dispose of it, its impact on the environment, and other labels are provided in the product safety data sheet. Appropriate labeling and hazard signs are applied to each container unit. The products are labeled in accordance with the applicable international and Russian standards and regulations. The Company products do not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations of harmful substances as per national standards.

Materials Used for Product Manufacture and Packaging

GRI 301-1

TATNEFT Group manufactures a wide range of products for business and retail. The largest part of TATNEFT Group products is not subject to packaging. These include crude oil, O&G refining products, petrochemical products, large-scale equipment, car tires, etc. The share of products to be packaged is insignificant both among the Group products and among the products of business lines.

The Company uses a wide variety of materials to transport the products subject to packaging: wooden pallets and crates, coils for winding, big bags, stretch films, corrugated cardboard packages, polymer materials, metal, etc. Due to different units of measurement of the packaging used (pieces, weight, footage), the Company does not consolidate information on the percentage of packaging materials used.

At the same time, the Company adopts a responsible attitude to the environmental impact and applies all reasonable methods to reduce the carbon footprint that is formed as a result of the use of packaging materials. For example, the corrugated cardboard packaging used is made from 100% recycled raw materials, 50% of the stretch film used is recycled, wooden containers are processed at pyrolysis plants to produce bio-oil (a component for fuel production) and biochar (fertilizer).

About 70% of the packaging materials used in the fuel business in food production and client service of the retail chain are made of renewable materials (paper and wood). All packaging materials that enter the retail chain with related products will be recycled.

in securing revenues for the federal and regional budgets, which boosts steady social and economic development of the regions, creates good jobs, improves living standards, welfare and social infrastructure, increases added value and develops related industries.

The Company discloses the amount of taxes assessed and paid, and also comments on the tax conditions applicable to the Company in order to ensure transparency to stakeholders regarding material benefits generated by natural resources in accordance with the Global International Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative as part of the Global Standard for the Good Governance of Oil, Gas and Mineral Resources. The Company pays increased attention to assessing the conscientious observance of tax legislation by counterparties involved in the financial and economic activities of TATNEFT Group.

The transparency of our financial results and the volume of tax payments are a good demonstration of how responsible exploitation of natural and energy resources enables the federal and regional budgets to replenish revenues for the further economic and social development.

We give due regard to trends in international tax policy, that prevent unfair practices of taxpayers in terms of use of tax planning schemes, as well as strengthening requirements for the transparency of tax information at the intercountry level, including the set of measures to prevent the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS).

The Company annually publishes a Report on Payments to States in Connection with Extractive Activities, which complies with the EU Directive on transparency in the reporting of payments to states by mining companies with securities are listed on recognized stock exchanges in the EU. The purpose of such disclosures is to ensure transparency for the public in relation to wealth generated by natural resources collected by resource-rich countries. This Company's approach is in line with the Global Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.

Key Trends

In 2023, the global economy continued recovering, spurred on by various macroeconomic factors, including diminishing global trade, tightening monetary policies in advanced economies (to counteract high inflation rates), and raising geopolitical tensions. Preliminary IMF estimates say that the global GDP growth in 2023 was 3.1%, down from 3.5% in 2022.

The US economy accelerated to 2.5% growth in 2023 (1.9% in 2022)—due to a boost in investment activity in H2 2023, and the steady growth in general consumption. Experts believe that the future of the US economy will depend on the labor market condition (employment rate) and the monetary policy. As per the IMF forecast, the US GDP will grow 2.1% in 2024, slowing down to 1.7% in 2025.

According to preliminary data, the Eurozone economy slowed down to 0,5% in the reporting year (down from 3.4% in 2022). High energy prices (while decoupling from the relatively cheap Russian energy), worsening financing conditions were significant deterring factors for the economic activity in the region. In 2024, the

GDP is expected to grow by 0.9%.

In 2023, the Chinese economy growth rate was 5.2%, which was above the target level (5%), thanks to the country abandoning its zero-tolerance anti-COVID-19 policies, complemented by the government's stimuli. For 2024–2025, the IMF forecasts GDP growth at just 4.6% and 4.1% respectively. Experts believe that the weak foreign demand and complications in the Chinese real estate market will be the factors precluding the economy from achieving the pre-pandemic growth rate.

Russian GDP grew by 3.6% in 2023, the most in the last 10 years (excluding the 2021 post-pandemic growth). The growth was caused, first of all, by the expansion of goods and services consumption by households (underpinned by growing disposable incomes, employment, and the soft monetary policy conducive to mortgage loans), quick pivot in exports (oil&gas exports in particular), and import substitution programs. The IMF forecast for 2024 is 2.6% growth, and 1.1% for 2025 (with expected 2.3% growth rate per the Ministry of Economic Development's base scenario).

For the next couple of years, the IMF foresees the global economy growth rate at 3.2% or slower (which is below the 2000–2019 average of 3.8%). On top of that, further tightening of monetary policies, especially in advanced economies, shrinking investments, growing geopolitical risks, accelerating inflation, and weakening international demand may lead to downward corrections of the outlook.

Monetary Policy

Despite the slow rate of economic recovery, in 2023 leading central banks proposed tightening the monetary policies to contain inflation.

The US Federal Reserve System (FRS) hiked the base interest rate four times in the first seven months of 2023, from 4.25–4.5% to 5.25–5.5%. As the inflation pressure weakened (consumer price grew 3.4% in 2023 compared to 6.5% in 2022), the rate remained

The European Central Bank (ECB) also hiked its base rate six times during the year: from 2.5% to 4.5%. Thus, to contain inflation and bring it to the target value, the European regulator has changed the rate up 10 times since July 2022. In 2023, consumer prices in EU countries grew by 3.4% (by 2.9% in the Eurozone). The lowest inflation was in Denmark (0.4%), Belgium and Italy (both 0.5%). The highest inflation rates were documented in the Czech Republic (7.6%), Romania (7.0%), and Slovakia (6.6%).

Underpinned by rapid consumer demand recovery, the national currency weakening noticeably (in the context of imports rebounding, and exports shrinking in monetary terms), and accelerating inflation (including core inflation), starting from July 2023, CBR switched to tightening its monetary policies. In July— December 2023, the key interest rate was raised 5 times, from 7.5% to 16.0%. In its midterm forecast, the CBR (February 2024) envisions the average key rate for 2024 at 13.5–15.5% and 8–10% for 2025.

According to CBR, the annual inflation rate was 7.42% in December 2023 vs. 11.94% in 2022. The Russian regulator expects the annual inflation rate to drop to 4.0–4.5% by the end of 2024 under the current monetary policies (5.8–6.5% annual average), and stabilize around 4% by 2025.

In general, according to the IMF, the price pressure on the global economy weakened in 2023; the global inflation rate dropped to 6.8% (-1.1 percentage points compared to 2022). Steps taken by regulators in many countries—mainly by central banks of major advanced economies—had a positive effect, bringing the inflation rate down. It is expected to keep decelerating in 2024 and 2025: to 5.8% and 4.4%, respectively.

Global Production and Consumption of Oil Products

In the global oil market, the demand continues to recover. In 2023, global consumption of oil products (including petroleum, diesel and jet fuel, fuel oil) grew almost by 3% compared to 2022, remaining 1% below the pre-pandemic level (2019). Jet fuel recorded the highest growth, by ~16%, reaching 89% of its pre-pandemic level. Broken down by regions, the leader in kerosene demand growth was China (over 70%) which abandoned its zero-tolerance anti-COVID policies early last year. Global consumption of petrol and diesel has rebounded to the average 2019 level, growing by approximately 3% and 1%, respectively, compared to 2022. As the international agency estimates, the demand for major oil products is expected to go slower in the coming year: by 1.7% in 2024, and by 0.9% in 2025. Those changes are going to primarily concern petroleum (in China, the US, and European countries where the switch to electric cars is in full swing) and diesel fuel.

Growing fuel efficiency of vehicles, and development of alternate energy sources (biofuel, natural gas, and electricity), along with new processing capacities being launched all over the world will help adjust marginality of road fuel (in particular, the launching of several refineries with total capacity of about

2 million barrels per day is planned in 2024 in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America; this additional output will be partly offset by some refineries closing in the UK and the US). In 2024–2025, crack values (the difference between crude oil and oil product prices) for petroleum and diesel will be lower than in 2023 but are going to, nevertheless, remain above the historical minimum recorded before 2022.

In the long run, the demand for key oil products will depend on population growth, the GDP dynamics, the low-carbon generation development, and the energy transition rates. According to forecasts, North American and European countries will gradually phase out petroleum and diesel, starting as soon as in the latter half of the current decade. In the Asia-Pacific countries, the demand for similar products will peak in 2030–2035 and go down thereafter (by 1% per year, on average). However, the long-term decline in diesel fuel demand would be less steep compared to petroleum—due to an increase in freight flows and a slower switch to electricity in commercial cargo vehicles. In Africa, road fuel consumption will keep growing after 2030, but the growth rate will slow from 2.3% to 1.2%.

Experts foresee that the main drivers of the long-term growth of global demand for oil and oil products will be the expanding naphtha demand from the petrochemical industry (by 1.4% per year on average until 2050) and the demand for jet fuel (the oil demand growth by 1.2% on average till 2050 will be mostly due to strengthening regional and domestic air links).

Key factors that can influence the long-term marginality of manufacturing major oil products:

  • ↗ Closure of some poorly-performing refineries in advanced economies, or their switch to biofuel;
  • ↗ Closure or launch of new processing capacities after 2030;
  • ↗ Transport decarbonization slowing down, e.g., due to a lack of process solutions, incentives

(governmental ones, first and foremost), the high cost of electric vehicles and infrastructure production/purchase/maintenance;

  • ↗ Low economic growth holding back oil consumption;
  • ↗ Accelerating energy transition, e.g., due to concerns over regional energy security.

Global Oil Market (including the Russian Federation market)

According to the data provided by the US Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA), the demand for liquid hydrocarbons reached 101 million barrels per day in 2023, up by 1.85 million barrels per day (1.9%) compared to 2022. The bulk of growth was observed in China (extra 0.79 million barrels per day, up to 15.94 million barrels per day) and India (extra 0.29 million barrels per day, up to 5.31 million barrels per day). In December 2022, China started canceling its anti-COVID restrictions quickly, including limitations on population mobility, which provided the recovery of economic activity and growing consumption of oil and oil products. Accelerated expansion of the petrochemical industry was another extra factor that served to grow the Chinese demand.

Liquid hydrocarbon consumption growth in India was brought in by significant economic growth, and using cheaper Russian oil for re-export of Indian-made oil products to Europe. Experts recognize that, due to its rapid economic growth, growth of middle class, low rate of electric vehicle takeover, and the plans to expand domestic refining capacities by over 20% by 2028 (+56 million tons, or 1.12 million barrels per day), India might replace China as the main long-term driver of oil demand.

In 2023, liquid carbon consumption in European countries shrank by 0.06 million barrels per day compared to 2022. Low activities in the industrial and petrochemical sectors had an impact on demand for diesel and petrochemical materials. Stability in the service sector, along with active private consumption, however, supported the demand for petroleum and jet fuel.

According to international experts, global consumption of liquid hydrocarbons will keep growing in the next two years, but not as fast, reaching 102.42 to 104.36 million barrels per day in 2024 and 103.71 to 106.21 million barrels per day in 2025. Furthermore, the bulk of growth will be provided by non-OECD countries, including China, the Middle East, and India.

Oil market balance in 2010–2023, with a forecast up to 2024–2025, mn b/d

Source: Energy Information Administration of the US Department of Energy as of February 6, 2024

To maintain stability and balance in the oil market in 2023, OPEC+ countries repeatedly introduced new limitations, cutting down their production, including voluntarily.

At the OPEC+ summit in June 2023, the member states set the permitted oil production for 2024 at 40.46 million barrels per day. A resolution made in November 2023 introduced a voluntary production cut of 2.2 million barrels per day, on top of the previous quotes, in effect till April 2024.

Experts believe that in 2024, the supply of liquid hydrocarbons may reach 102.4 million barrels per day, 103.71 to 104.17 million barrels per day in 2025. The countries listed above will become the main drivers for this expected growth. Shale basins and offshore projects in the US will work to expand the supply. Therewith, the biggest production cuts are expected in Mexico and Angola.

According to the US Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (February 2024), a small over-supply (0.73 million barrels per day on average) has been recorded at the oil market throughout the reporting period. After an insignificant decline in Q1 2024, due to the OPEC+ countries adhering to their imposed restrictions, the market is expected to return to gradual reserve expansion at the rate of 0.3 million barrels per day until the end of 2025.

Throughout 2023, the Brent oil price was fluctuating between USD 71.7 and USD 97.9 per barrel. Despite the OPEC+ cuts and decisions made by some countries to further limit oil production and exports to buoy prices, the average monthly price for the benchmark crude oil was USD 82.6 per barrel, or 18.4% lower than in 2022, according to Platts. Slowing down global (and especially, Chinese) demand, base interest rate hikes that contained economic growth in the West, and growing fears of global recession were the pressure factors that kept the oil price down.

In the long run (baseline scenario up to 2050), the demand for liquid hydrocarbons is expected to reach its peak in the early 2030s and will start a gradual decrease thereafter, while remaining above 100 million barrels per day by 2050.

The global liquid hydrocarbon supply in 2023 was at 101.75 million barrels per day. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the increase in supply was mainly provided by the US (+1.61 million barrels per day, inter alia, due to the current wells' performance gain and launch of some that have been already drilled but were not completed), Brazil (+0.48 million barrels per day, mostly due to offshore subsalt wells), Guyana, Norway, China (the last three together providing +0.38 million barrels per day). Countries relieved from keeping to the OPEC+ production quotas also grew their output: Iran (+0.33 million barrels per day), Mexico (+0.22 million barrels per day), Venezuela and Libya (+0.18 million barrels per day total for both). Quite the contrary, OPEC+ countries cut their production down.

  • ↗ Growing investments in extraction (Rystad Energy estimates the global oil&gas extraction investment in 2023 to pass the pre-pandemic level and reach about USD 578 billion. Despite capital investment declining compared to the 2010–2015 period, oil&gas business activity and oil production levels in the world remain comparatively stable: price drops during crises forced market actors to cut costs and maximize performance. In the coming few years, capital investment is expected to remain at the current level. Some oil companies (ВР, Shell, Exxon Mobil, etc.) revised their strategies and are planning to increase investment in oil&gas projects with short ROI cycles));
  • ↗ Growing supply from the non-OPEC+ regions (in addition to the US, the boosting oil production is also expected in Canada, Norway, Brazil, Guyana);
  • ↗ Replenishment of the US oil reserves (the government is planning to buy over 3 million barrels in 2024 to top up strategic reserves (~180 million barrels) sold out in 2022 to stabilize domestic fuel prices);
  • ↗ Geopolitical factors;
  • ↗ Strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia (experts do not rule out the possibility that the Urals discount will increase in H1 2024, due to the US and the EU tightening the price ceiling controls).

Considering the foregoing, increased price volatility is expected in the oil market in 2024.

Oil Industry Events Expected in 2024:

  • ↗ The ban on the sales of oil and oil products by Russian companies under contracts that provide, directly or indirectly, the price ceiling imposed by the US and several other countries will be extended till June 30, 2024.
  • ↗ The return to the old oil&gas revenue calculation schemes that provide for the basic oil price at USD 60 per barrel (in 2023, under the budget rule, RUB 8 trillion was estimated as the target level for basic oil&gas industry revenues).
  • ↗ Lowering the Urals discount against Brent (for oil MET rate calculation) to USD 15 per barrel in 2024 (to USD 10 per barrel in 2025 and USD 6 per barrel in 2026). Therewith, the regulating law provides for possible discount hikes up to USD 20 per barrel in some tax periods from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026 (both dates included) if the Russian Government so resolves (Federal Law 539-FZ dated 27.11.2023, amending Articles 342, 343, and 346.37 of the Russian Tax Code).
  • ↗ Expanding and tightening sanctions already imposed on the Russian fuel and energy sector. Western countries (the US, the UK, the EU) tightening price ceiling controls starting from the end of the last year can cause temporary increases in the Urals discount against Brent early in 2024 (due to rising freight and insurance costs for the Russian crude).

Price for Brent oil and estimated price for Urals oil (USD/bbl)

When evaluating the feedstock quotes prospects for 2024, it is worth noting that, on the one hand, estimated Brent prices carry large spreads, and on the other hand, analysts from major investment banks and specialized information agencies are less optimistic, correcting their forecasts down and expecting an oversupply at the liquid hydrocarbon market. Experts assess the average Brent price in 2024 to be at USD 81.4 per barrel. In December 2023, their consensus forecast used to be USD 1.2 per barrel higher.

The average monthly price for Urals in 2023 was, as estimated by Platts, at USD 62.9 per barrel, with about USD 20 per barrel discount against the Brent benchmark. In 2023, the Urals spread continued to shrink; in October, it reached its minimum since March 2022: USD 9.7 per barrel. The causes of this positive dynamic were cuts in Russian production, declining sulfur crude supplies to the global market, and production cuts imposed by other OPEC+ countries. After the G7 countries tightened controls over the Urals price ceiling in October 2023, with the US imposing sanctions on marine companies shipping Russian oil at prices above USD 60 per barrel, the prices for the Russian crude started to decline again in December compared to its North Sea counterpart (the discount grew by USD 3.3 per barrel).

The Russian Ministry of Economic Development expects the prices for Russian oil to remain around USD 70 per barrel in 2024–2026.

Key Global Oil Market Drivers

The main factors that determine the prospects of the global market for liquid hydrocarbons, as well as significantly affect the balance of supply and demand in 2023–2024, are, fires and foremost:

  • ↗ the shale production growth in the US (some industry experts believe that the production growth recorded in the US in 2023 was short-lived because it was brought in by increased pumping of wells drilled earlier while the number of operational drilling rigs was going down; Rystad Energy estimates that the current number of rigs is enough to keep production in the US from declining. According to the agency, the number of rigs in 2024 will grow by approximately 70–80, ensuring >0.4 million barrels per day (annual) of extra oil production. Therewith, the well drilling cost will start declining in 2024 after two years of sharp growth. That is related to the lack of maintenance service demand in late 2023);
  • ↗ Growing Chinese demand (as the US Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration estimates, the oil demand in China will grow 2%, or 0.32 million barrels per day in 2024: more than 2 times lower of the 2023 value);
  • ↗ Production changes brought in by OPEC+ agreement (to maintain balance at the liquid hydrocarbons market, OPEC+ countries agreed in November 2023 to further cut down production in Q1 2024 by a total of 2.2 million barrels per day; however, as regions not covered by the limitations are quickly increasing their production, OPEC+ can change its tactics, prioritizing keeping or expanding its market share and ensuring more flexible options for the alliance in the mid-term);
  • ↗ Expectations of a softer monetary policy underpinned by slowing inflation rates (key rate reductions by leading central banks will boost GDP growth and reduce the risk of recession in major economies);

The Board of Directors sets the Company's policy on remuneration and reimbursement of costs (compensations) to the members of the Board of Directors, members of its executive bodies, and other key managers of the Company.

The Remuneration Committee consisting of independent directors and headed by an independent director who is not the Chairman of the Board of Directors has been set up for preliminary review of issues pertaining to establishing effective and transparent remuneration practices.

When forming a remuneration system and determining the specific amount of remuneration to the members of the Company's governance bodies, it is assumed that the amount of the remuneration paid should be sufficient to engage, motivate and retain persons

  • with the relevant professional background, knowledge, and skills required for the Company.
  • The remuneration system is built upon the principles and guidelines of the Corporate Governance Code in alignment with the Company's current practice of remuneration and compensation accrual.

Management Personnel Remuneration System

  • The management personnel remuneration system is formed taking into account the strategic goals of the Company 2030 and is realized according to uniform corporate principles enshrined in the Standard for the formation and assessment of key performance indicators for remuneration purposes at the end of the year:
  • ↗ decomposition of strategic goals in the context of creating additional value;
  • ↗ ambitiousness of target values, ensuring high results;
  • ↗ specificity, measurability and relevance of indicators;
  • ↗ evaluation of indicators in the context of risk management;

In terms of consolidated financial indicators, in particular EBITDA and FCF, the Company exceeded its strategic goals last year.

Additional value is created by investment projects and business diversification projects; attention is paid to increasing internal efficiency and improving business processes, in particular, work is being done to manage costs in all business segments.

Sustainable development goal maps are integrated into existing monitoring systems, including the dependence of the annual remuneration of key management positions on the level of achievement of indicators from among the priority sustainable development goals (Decision of the Board of Directors No. 4 dated 30.05.2023). The priority KPIs include indicators for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy efficiency, implementing innovative projects and socially oriented programs.

In 2022, the coverage of the Company's units reached the level of 71% (115 enterprises of the Group), and the coverage of middle managers exceeded 1,100 managers. The KPI system is expanded by aligning the financial incentive system in controlled companies with corporate standards with a reference to the achievement of KPIs, and by fixing the targets

of controlled companies in the KPI cards of their immediate supervisors from among the Company's top management. In 2023, work will continue on the integration of new service assets into the Company's KPI system.

To increase the level of associated petroleum gas utilization, measures were taken to connect separation points to the gas gathering system, organize multiphase transport of well products and use gas for own process needs.

Caring for the planet is an integral part of our mission, which is aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change through a responsible approach to the use of water – a vital resource for the Earth and for humanity.

The use of water resources is necessary for the implementation of the activities of all business areas of the TATNEFT Group - from oil and gas production to the sale of products. At the same time, the Company defines water as a strategic resource for the protection of biodiversity and human health, socio-economic development and industrial activities. We are committed to the optimal management of water resources at all stages of activity in harmony with the needs of the territories in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The Company's main approach to solving the problem of rational water use:

  • ↗ application of recycling and re-water supply systems
  • ↗ increasing of the degree of wastewater treatment
  • ↗ reduction of water intake from natural sources

The territory of the main production activity of the Company belongs to the regions that do not

experience a shortage of fresh water. According to the Water Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period until 2020 (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1235-r dated August 27, 2009)

Consumption of «fresh water»*, water use and access to water facilities for the TATNEFT Group in Russia is carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, on the basis of water use agreements, decisions on the provision of water facilities for use, licenses for the right to use subsoil for the purpose of extracting groundwater, as well as resolutions of local regulatory authorities, this makes it possible not to expose local communities and the natural environment to the risk of water scarcity.

The collection of data on water accounting is carried out according to the rules for the formation of state statistical reporting, and, if such reporting is not provided, on the basis of economic contracts for water consumption and sanitation.

WATER INTAKE AND WATER CONSUMPTION

* «Fresh water» is water taken from surface and underground sources, rainwater and water received from third parties under water supply contracts. It is used for both production and household and other needs of the Company. According to international standard GRI 303, «fresh» water is water containing less than 1,000 mg/l of dissolved solids (the definition is based on ISO 14046:2014). in this section, unless otherwise indicated, we talk about «fresh water».

In 2023, gross water consumption across the TATNEFT Group increased by 0.50 mln m3 (less than 1% compared to 2022), due to:

↗ an increase in the volume of well construction (the process of drilling the said horizons is performed in fresh water to protect upper aquifers);

↗ the inclusion of the TATNEFT Group's tire business in the perimeter.

Water consumption for production needs in business areas

Water withdrawal for own needs by types of sources

The Company withdraws water from various sources, including ground and surface water bodies. The main sources of water withdrawal are the Kuibyshev storage reservoir, the Volga, the Kama, the Stepnoy Zai, the Yamashka, the Sterlya, the Shabiz rivers. Water is also supplied by third-party organizations under water supply contracts and as part of the organized collection of meltwater and stormwater runoff from the territories of enterprises.

The TATNEFT Group does not have a significant impact on natural water sources by the water withdrawal. Water withdrawals from surface and underground sources do not exceed the allowable withdrawal limits.

Use of water for various needs

63% of consumed water is used for production needs, 5% for household and drinking needs.

An important indicator for the characteristics of rational water use is the costs in the systems of recycled and reused water.*

In 2023, the share of recycled and reused water was 93.8% of the total volume of water used for production needs, which saves the amount of water withdrawn (clean water) from the external environment. The decrease in the volume of recycled water supply is due to a decrease in the production of synthetic rubbers, which are water-intensive products; a reduction in the operation of condensing units and the turbine unit of LLC Nizhnekamsk CHP due to being under repair.

* Data are given taking into account the volumes of water in circulating water supply systems, sequentially re-(water that has retained quality indicators after application in any technological process and is supplied for reuse without treatment), and also extracted along with hydrocarbons and subsequently used for the purposes of maintaining reservoir pressure, (re-used).

In connection with achieving the goal of reducing the volume of wastewater discharges, the Company has set a new goal aimed at reducing the share

WATER DISPOSAL

Improvement of wastewater quality is one of the important objectives of the environmental safety program.

The Company implements investment projects for technological re-equipment of production, measures are taken to comply with the standards for the content of pollutants in wastewater, to maintain the territory of wastewater disposal sites and places in proper sanitary and ecological condition in order to ensure the regulatory level of wastewater treatment and the complete exclusion of the discharge of contaminated wastewater into the environment. Regular monitoring of wastewater quality is conducted. Wastewater from production processes is sent to treatment facilities in accordance with the standards established by Russian legislation. The Company's laboratories as well as independent accredited organizations monitor compliance with the established standards.

Water disposal into surface water bodies, mln m3

An increase in wastewater disposal volumes by 6% is due to a change in the perimeter of the TATNEFT Group with the inclusion of new tire business enterprises Ikon Tyres LLC, FC Birinchi Rezinotexnika Zavodi LLC; the need to discharge treated water to the Kama River for hydrotesting of pipelines due to their relocation due to the construction of the M-7 highway. Wastewater discharged to municipal sewerage organizations (transferred to a third party after use): 4.9 mln m3.

In 2023, the water quality in the main rivers of the Company's territory was stable.The content of chloride ions, oil and petroleum products in the dissolved and emulsified state in the main rivers did not exceed the established standards of the maximum permissible concentration of substances.

Hydromonitoring

On the territory of the Company's production activities, a regime monitoring network of hydromonitoring functions to monitor the state of surface and underground waters, monitor the impact of the oil production process in order to comply with the license conditions for the use of subsurface resources.

Preservation of springs (with care for the region)

For almost 30 years, the Company has been carefully caring for the springs in the territory of its activities, paying special attention to the preservation, enhancement and improvement of the water quality in the springs. The quality of water in springs, being a kind of indicator of the activity of oil workers, signals the progress of field development. Therefore, the water quality in springs is kept under special control. Purposeful geological and technical measures carried out by oil workers in the area of activity of the Company's subdivisions, constant monitoring of the reliability of equipment contribute to the prevention of contamination of water sources, allowing to ensure the potential of self-restoration of ecosystems.

In 2023, PJSC TATNEFT once again organized and held an annual competition «For maintaining the aesthetic condition of equipped springs and improving water quality», which has been implemented in the Company since 1995. 24 enterprises of the TATNEFT Group took part in the competition. The springs presented for participation in the competition are distinguished by their originality, skillful use of the natural landscape and natural material. Many of them have become a genuine decoration of the area, settlements, outdoor recreation areas. During this time more than 500 springs have been cleaned, captured and architecturally completed on the territory of the Company's operations.

LAND RESTORATION

The main task of the stage of completion of production activities is the environmentally safe completion of work and ensuring the restoration of disturbed areas. At the same time, a necessary condition for the liquidation stage is to ensure the conditions for the conservation of biodiversity in the zone of influence of the liquidated production facilities, as well as compensation/reimbursement for damage to disturbed biological resources.

It is mandatory to carry out measures to restore disturbed lands: technical and biological reclamation. Reclamation measures create conditions for the development of vegetation. Gradually, biotic factors begin to have a greater influence on species diversity. The applied methods of reclamation provide high rates of vegetation renewal. After reclamation, work is underway to return unclaimed land.

The Company's activities in restoring disturbed lands are regulated by the Regulations on the Protection and Rational Use of Land and Forest Resources, the Regulations on the Organization of Reclamation of Disturbed Lands and the Instructions for the Reclamation of Disturbed Lands.

In the Company, a comprehensive approach is applied to the reclamation of lands affected during the construction and operation of facilities, taking into account the categories of land use, soil types, types of violations, and pollution. .

LIQUIDATION OF OIL AND GAS FACILITIES

GRI 11.7

After the end of the cycle of operation of oil facilities, their dismantling and liquidation is carried out. The liquidation of hazardous production facilities is carried out in accordance with the approved technical documentation for liquidation, with the implementation of measures defined in the project to protect the environment, ensure the safety of the population, the removal and disposal of waste, reclamation and landscaping of the land after the liquidation of the facility.

At all wells, before liquidation, a study of the production column of the well is carried out, overflows, griffins, leakage of casing strings are eliminated if any. At liquidated wells located on the lands used for agricultural purposes and on lands of non-industrial categories, the mouths are deepened by at least 0.8 m from the surface, equipped with a plug mounted on a conductor (technical column). The plug is covered with a material that prevents its corrosion, and the wellhead is filled with soil. After the well is liquidated, the well territory is cleaned, contaminated soil is removed, pits, granaries, trenches are filled in, false fills are removed, waste and equipment are disposed, landscapes are restored on the territory of the well and the adjacent territory, land reclamation is carried out. The condition of the liquidated wells is monitored.

PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL HERITAGE

Revival of national spiritual traditions and support for culture in general have always been among TATNEFT's priorities. Using the language of art, the Company creates its own cultural code based on respect for our traditions, values and national specifics, while combining them with modern, high-tech, environmentally friendly, and responsible business principles. In this way, we instill respect for our roots,

love for our homeland, sensitivity to beauty in all its manifestations, and the preservation of our historical and cultural heritage.

Urban Cultural Environment

The main priorities of the project are the development of a vibrant cultural life of cities and districts by involving citizens in the creative process; preservation and development of national and musical traditions; development of modern musical art; ensuring accessibility of cultural and entertainment programs for all segments of the population. In each of the districts there are several sites, popular with residents and visitors of the cities, where music and entertainment programs and master classes are held weekly during summer.

Aulak Social Theater

This is the first social theater in the Republic set up in 2022 which provides an opportunity to engage in creative work to "invisible" people: people with disabilities or developmental needs, troubled teens, pensioners, schoolchildren, students and others. The theater is an inclusive platform where theater professionals from Tatarstan and Russia create and perform contemporary theater productions together with local people. In 2024, the Social Theater has scheduled to release a play in sign language, participate in festivals, work with rural schools, organize inclusive master classes and lectures, and arrange theater labs for townspeople.

Following the strategy to preserve and revive the region's cultural heritage and develop a cultural cluster related to performing arts and museum values, the Company implements various projects to study and promote little-known musical heritage, reconstruct ancient instruments and musical works of the Volga Region peoples:

The Exhibition of Musical Instruments of the Peoples of the World is located on its site. The collection consists of musical instruments of large and small ethnic groups, as well as peoples living in different countries, and includes the largest classified collection of pan-Turkic instruments in Russia. In 2023, more than 5,300 people visited the exhibition. The exhibition was presented at the Sheremetyev Palace in St. Petersburg.
  • ↗ Kadim Almet, a musical ensemble organized at the Exhibition of Musical Instruments of the Peoples of the World, united musicians and vocalists engaged in the revival of authentic music and root culture of the Tatars. The ensemble takes part in cultural and musical forums and festivals.
  • ↗ Karlygach is a children's ethno-music ensemble created on the basis of the children's music school of Almetyevsk, where children master the skills of playing Turkic instruments and study Old Tatar music. The ensemble is a laureate of regional, Russian and international competitions.
  • ↗ Revitalizing Authentic "Voice of the People" as part of the project, experimental samples of indigenous Tatar musical instruments are produced and donated to music schools in the oil region; musical and ethnographic expeditions are organized. On the basis of expedition materials it is planned to create a cultural passport of the region for its use in educational programs.

The Company cares about the health of its employees and the inhabitants of the regions where it operates and invests significant efforts and resources in a healthy social infrastructure. Every year PJSC TATNEFT allocates more than 1 billion rubles to support healthcare, sports, and healthy lifestyles.

In order to implement SDG 3, TATNEFT has developed and approved a program aimed at creating conditions for providing affordable and quality medical care, introducing innovative technologies of preventive medicine and, as a result, reducing the incidence of diseases.

In order to prevent occupational accidents, preventive measures are taken to explain the need to observe the principles of a healthy lifestyle, nutrition, and a reasonable work/rest schedule.

Control of compliance with occupational health and fire safety rules has been strengthened, especially during weekends, holidays, and the first and last days of the week.

Independent Auditor's Limited Assurance Report

To the Management of Public Joint Stock Company TATNEFT named after V.D. Shashin:

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Management of the Public Joint Stock Company TATNEFT named after V.D. Shashin (hereinafter – the "Company") to provide limited assurance on the selected information described below and included in the Integrated Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 (hereinafter – the "Integrated Annual Report"). The Integrated Annual Report represents information related to the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together – the "Group"), unless otherwise stated in the Integrated Annual Report.

Selected information

We assessed the quantitative and qualitative information specified in Appendix 1 to this report, that is disclosed in the Integrated Annual Report and referred to or included in the GRI Content Index of the Integrated Annual Report (hereinafter – the "Selected Information").

The scope of our limited assurance procedures was limited to the Selected Information for the year ended 31 December 2023 only. We have not performed any procedures with respect to earlier periods or any other items included in the Integrated Annual Report (including any disclosures under the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Standards), and, therefore, do not express any conclusion thereon.

Reporting criteria

We assessed the Selected Information using relevant criteria, including disclosure requirements contained in the relevant GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards 3, 302, 303, 305, 306, 11 (hereinafter – the "GRI Standards"), published by the Stichting Global Reporting Initiative (hereinafter – the "Reporting Criteria").

We believe that the Reporting Criteria are appropriate given the purpose of our limited assurance engagement.

Responsibilities of the Group's management

Management of the Group is responsible for:

  • designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of the Selected Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
  • establishing internal methodological documents and guidelines for preparing and reporting the Selected Information in accordance with the Reporting Criteria;
  • preparing, measuring and reporting of the Selected Information in accordance with the Reporting Criteria; and
  • the accuracy, completeness and presentation of the Selected Information.

Certificate of public assurance of a corporate nonfinancial report

Our responsibilities

We are responsible for:

  • planning and performing the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the Selected Information is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
  • forming an independent conclusion, based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained; and
  • reporting our conclusion to the Management of the Group.

This report, including our conclusion, has been prepared solely for the Management of the Group in accordance with the agreement between us, to assist management in reporting on the Group's sustainability performance and activities. We permit this report to be disclosed in the Integrated Annual Report, which will be published on the Company's websitei , to assist management in responding to its governance responsibilities by obtaining an independent auditor's limited assurance report in connection with the Selected Information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Management of the Group for our work or this report except where the respective terms are expressly agreed between us in writing and our prior consent in writing is obtained.

Professional standards applied and level of assurance

We performed our limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information", issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

Our independence and quality management

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour, and the ethical requirements of the Auditor's Professional Ethics Code and Auditor's Independence Rules that are relevant to our limited assurance engagement in respect of the Selected Information in the Russian Federation.

Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Work done

We are required to plan and perform our work in order to consider the risk of material misstatement of the Selected Information. In doing so, we:

  • made enquiries of the Group's management, including the Group Sustainability Reporting (SR) team and those with responsibility for SR management and Group SR reporting;
  • conducted interviews of Group's personnel responsible for the preparation of the Integrated Annual Report and collection and analysis of underlying data;
  • performed analysis of the relevant internal methodological documents and guidelines, gaining an understanding of the design of the key structures, systems, processes and controls for managing, recording, preparing and reporting the Selected Information;

i The maintenance and integrity of the Company's website is the responsibility of the Management of the Company; the work carried out by us does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, we accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the reported Selected Information or Reporting Criteria when presented on the Company's website.

www.tedo.ru

iii

  • performed limited substantive testing on a selective basis of the Selected Information to check that data had been appropriately measured, recorded, collated and reported; and
  • reviewed the Selected Information for compliance of the disclosures with the relevant requirements of the Reporting Criteria.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.

Reporting and measurement techniques

Under the GRI Standards there is a range of different, but acceptable, reporting and measurement techniques. The techniques can result in materially different reporting outcomes that may affect comparability with other organisations. The Selected Information should therefore be read in conjunction with the methodology used by management in preparing the Integrated Annual Report, described therein, and for which the Group is solely responsible.

Limited assurance conclusion

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Selected Information for the year ended 31 December 2023 has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Reporting Criteria.

Due to their specific nature, the statements about the future are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific. There is a risk that future actual results may differ materially from plans, goals, expectations, estimates, and intentions expressed in such statements or may not be realized due to several different factors of economic, financial, political, social, legal aspects that are outside of the Company's control, including factors that may affect future operations of the Company.

Forward-looking statements cannot serve as the grounds for any investment decisions. Each forwardlooking statement is only relevant on this Report date. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements based on new information, future events, or other information. Due to rounding the calculated indicators, the Report text may contain errors in the calculation of shares, percentages, amounts — except for financial statements. The data presented in this Report may differ slightly from the data published previously due to the difference in rounded figures.

macroeconomic conditions caused
by a decrease in the growth rate
of the global economy and the risk
of a recession, inflation processes,
tightening of monetary policy,
an increase in the tax burden,
unstable conditions in world
energy prices, and exchange rate
fluctuations
Effects: Negative impact on
the financial and economic
performance of the Company.
In order to mitigate the adverse impact
of the identified risks on business,
the Company is implementing various
measures, including signing long-term
contracts for the purchase of materials
and components; constant monitoring
and forecasting of prices for key material
and technical resources; search for
alternative suppliers; working with
federal executive authorities on undue
increase in supplier prices; optimization
of production and logistics costs;

Company's business.
Effects: Achievement of the
strategic goals under the
Company's Development Strategy
largely depends on the external
environment.
In addition, as part of forecasting
macroeconomic parameters, updating
the Strategy and planning the financial
and economic activities of the Company,
the Company employs the scenario
approach, which makes it possible to
determine the assets and investment
projects that are most sensitive to
deterioration in macroeconomic
conditions, and also provides flexibility
in making tactical and strategic
management decisions in changing
conditions.
The Company's strategy is built in three
scenarios: base (characterizes the most
likely, from the point of view of the
Company's management, development
of the macroeconomic situation), high
oil prices, climate (in accordance with
international recommendations, TCFD
assumes maintaining the increase in
global average temperature below 1.5⁰C
above pre-industrial levels)

The Company monitors market trends and external environment on a regular basis and with due regard to key risks and opportunities for managing its asset portfolio and updating its Development Strategy. Particular focus is placed on factors that can have a significant impact on access to resources, markets, services, equipment, technologies, skilled personnel, etc. It also pays respect to global social and economic processes, the epidemiological situation, energy transition trends, promotion of the low-carbon agenda, the geopolitical situation (including sanctions),

world trade conditions, agreements between OPEC countries and other oil producers aimed at maintaining the balance in the global oil market, foreign policy, government regulation, infrastructure, etc., which can influence achievement of the TATNEFT Group strategic goals and the Group's future profile.

Risk Description Risk management Indicator

The Company implements the Development Strategy until 2030, which is based on a detailed analysis of the combination of all key factors, which may impact the Company's development and achievement of the targets. Decisions of the Company's management related to the strategic and current planning and operational activities are made on the grounds of all available information related to possible development scenarios and tend to consider all reasonably foreseeable variations and assumptions used in such planning. In order to reduce the risks associated with the energy transition, the internal price for greenhouse gas emissions is taken into account when evaluating investment projects.

The Company has a high-quality asset structure and a high-tech base that it is improving continuously in accordance with production goals, including the development of import-substituting technologies and equipment.

Effects: Disrupted production

in addition to compromised

Innovative technological risks are
a pressing issue for the Company,
especially in the long run (Scenario
2030, Carbon Neutrality by 2050).
To reduce these risks, the Company
monitors technology, that is, the state,
evolution and capacity of existing and
emerging technologies, engages in R&D
and invests in hi-tech startups that
contribute to rapid development of green
technologies.
The Company's assets are mainly
concentrated in the Volga Region,
Russia, which has recently been exposed
to extreme weather phenomena, such
as hurricanes, droughts, and ice rains.
The latter are the most dangerous in
terms of doing business as they can
suspend operations due to damage
to infrastructure (e.g., broken power
lines). The financial aspect of this risk
is associated with recovery costs and
losses caused by suspended business
activity.
The Company's production assets
are mainly concentrated in the
moderate-continental mid-latitude
climate. The Company's physical
assets and regional infrastructure are
designed and built with due regard to
significant temperature/wind changes
and precipitation, which makes them
quite resistant in terms of physical risks
associated with climate changes. The
Company largely depends on transport
infrastructure operated by third parties
to deliver its products to customers,
it does not expect any significant
disruptions of transport infrastructure
associated with climatic risks, though.
Nevertheless, the Company has enough
