Assessment of facility vulnerability
to climate impacts
In 2024, Nornickel launched the development
of a methodology for assessing the vulnerability
of its facilities to climate‑related impacts. The assessment
is driven by objective data already available within the Company, including:
-
design documents
-
industrial safety reviews
-
results of surveys and inspections
-
monitoring results
-
statistics on incidents and accidents.
The methodology was tested
at the Energy Division’s facilities, as they are the most exposed
to climate impacts in the Norilsk Industrial District. Checklists with
assessment criteria on a low/medium/high vulnerability scale were developed
for each type of assessed facility.
Within the Energy Division, 105 facilities were
identified for assessment, of which 45 have already been assessed. Based
on the results, 36 out of the 45 assessed facilities were found
to be vulnerable to various climate factors to some degree.
In 2025, the Company plans to complete the testing of this
methodology across all its facilities.
