Air protection

Reducing air pollutant emissions is a key focus of the Group’s environmental agenda. In 2020, MMK continued its efforts to reduce the Comprehensive Air Pollutant Index (CAPI) in Magnitogorsk and achieve a 90% decrease in emissions of extremely and highly hazardous substances.

TARGETS AND RESULTS

MMK seeks to achieve a 14% reduction in gross air pollutant emissions by 2025 compared to the base year of 2019.

In 2019, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment removed Magnitogorsk from the list of the most air polluted cities Between 2017 and 2020, the city’s CAPI shrank by almost 60%.
