"This recognition by the professional community is a testimony to Rostelecom’s commitment to the high level of transparency and quality of disclosure to investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders. It is also an endorsement of the outstanding performance and joint efforts of the team involved in the preparation of the 2019 Annual Report. We are honoured by this acknowledgment of our efforts to report on our digital transformation strategy, demonstrate transparency of our investment story and alignment with best-in-class corporate governance principles, including those around the management and Board compensation. We constantly strive to improve our business reporting processes and reflect most relevant information even beyond the reporting periods, which was the case at the time of the COVID-19 pandemics outbreak beginning of this year. We have also invested more efforts and time this year in our ESG disclosure in order to reflect our social value and the scale of the contribution we make to accelerate digital growth in Russia.”
