Energy consumption and Efficiency
Efficient use of energy resources contributes to reducing
the overall environmental impact of the Russian
Aquaculture Group's operations, including climate change.
Fuel Consumption
Despite the Company's significantly expanded
technological infrastructure in 2021 (about 40%), diesel
consumption went up by 26.5% - not as much as in 2020.
The consumption of petrol decreased by 20%.
The growth in fuel consumption, with a significant
increase in the number of consumers, has been kept
in check by the Russian Aquaculture Group's gradual
implementation of an energy efficiency policy.

In 2021, the Group conducted a comprehensive
energy examination of its facilities in cooperation
with an independent expert organisation
LLC Prommash Test. The survey resulted in a report'
with recommendations for energy-saving measures.
According to the report, the effect of energy saving
measures in cost terms (at tariff rates at the time
of reporting) could be about RUB 1 million per year.
Energy saving measures are integrated and aim
to replace obsolete equipment, reduce maintenance
costs, and ensure reliable energy supply. Among
the recommended activities are the following:
insulation of the rooms with equipment;
• modernisation of the lighting system (lamps change);
⚫ installation of motion, proximity, and light sensors
to control indoor/outdoor lighting;
• installation of an automatic controller for electric
boilers;
• installation of mechanical and automatic controllers
on heating radiators.
In the reporting year, the Group started implementing
most of the activities and continued in 2022.
Water Use
The Russian Aquaculture Group prioritises the sustainable
use of water resources, efficient wastewater treatment,
and the prevention of pollutants in natural water bodies.
The capacity of wastewater treatment facility
at the fish processing plant is
over 50
m³ per day
In 2021, the Group used 22,2 thousand m³ of fresh water.
The Murmansk region had the main volume of water
consumption.

Murmansk region-based facilities primarily use
centralised water supply through utility pipelines (water
service contracts). The Group generates domestic
sewage, which is mainly disposed into municipal water
supply systems. The service is provided by housing
and public utilities of the districts of the Murmansk
Region. Wastewater disposal at the fish processing plant
is operating through the treatment facilities located
at the site, with a capacity of over 50 m³ per day.
In the Republic of Karelia, water is taken from the lake
Ozero Norus-Lambi (Baltic Sea basin). To this end,
we signed a water use agreement with the Ministry
of Natural Resources and Environment, Republic
of Karelia. All wastewater and domestic and industrial
wastewater, in particular, are disposed of and taken
to the public utility Vodootvedeniye, Republic of Karelia.
Key factors affecting the marine environment at fish
farms are:
⚫ use of the water area for ship traffic;
⚫ use of seawater for production purposes, namely in fish
farming (no withdrawal or disposal).
The water used for general economic purposes
on the tow boats is imported. Wastewater is collected
on tow boats and sent to specialised organisations
for treatment.
Water Quality Control and Assessment
of Impacts on Water Resources
For any treated effluents, water quality control and regular
monitoring of water bodies and water protection zones
is provided by the basin water authorities at a sub-
national level under the natural and effluent water quality
measurement programmes.
The Group is implementing an industrial environmental
control programme, where the sampling is taken
at required intervals to control the water chemistry.
The research of fish farm areas carried out by the Centre
for Laboratory Analysis and Technical Measurements
in the Central Federal District showed that the water
contaminant did not exceed the maximum level.
The regions of the Group's operation had
no areas with water scarcity, and water
intake from the Group's water bodies had
no significant impact on water sources.
Measures for Sustainable Use
and Water Bodies Protection
• record of wastewater disposal and consumption;
implementation of a programme for environmental
control and monitoring of surface water
and wastewater;
high-quality maintenance of water and sewerage
systems, as well as machinery and equipment;
strict compliance with Russian and international laws.
