Assessment of the impact on the atmosphere
is an integral part of the industrial environmental control
system and is carried out on an annual basis for all
facilities of the Russian Aquaculture Group.
In the course of the Group's production activities,
the negative impact on atmospheric air is caused
by pollutants from stationary and mobile emission
sources (diesel generators, engines, production units
and equipment).
When installing and operating
the Russian Aquaculture Group facilities,
maximum concentrations of pollutants
in the atmosphere do not exceed hygienic
standards for air quality or permissible levels.
In 2021, to clarify the environmental impact of the Russian
Aquaculture Group's facilities, an inventory of air pollution
sources was taken.

To control and reduce emissions into the atmosphere,
the Russian Aquaculture Group is taking the following
measures, inter alia:
⚫ cost-effective and procedural operation of diesel
generators, vehicles, equipment and other units;
•
•
compliance with environmental requirements;
use of fuels (diesel, petrol) which meet relevant
standards and specifications;
control, metering and cost-effective consumption
of fuel and electricity;
optimisation of ship logistics.

The Group has implemented an industrial environmental
control and monitoring programme as part of its air
impact mitigation measures.
In 2021, the Russian Aquaculture Group has
evaluated GHG emissions for the first time.
They amounted to 12.8 thousand t of CO₂-
equivalent (Scope 1). The main sources
of greenhouse gases are power plants,
machinery and transport that burn different
types of fuel.
