On July 15, 2026, a meeting was held with Vladimir Potanin, CEO of Norilsk Nickel, the Russian metals and mining company. The discussion centered on the company's ongoing projects, particularly in the areas of information technology, import substitution, and environmental initiatives.
Norilsk Nickel has been implementing several IT projects to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs. The company is also focusing on import substitution to reduce dependence on foreign technologies and equipment, aligning with broader Russian industrial policy.
Environmental projects were a key topic, as Norilsk Nickel has faced scrutiny over its environmental record, including a major fuel spill in 2020. The company has committed to reducing its environmental footprint through modernization and cleanup efforts.
