All your conclusions are based on two statements:

- Ivatsevichdrev uses the labor of prisoners;

- Ivatsevichdrev uses wood from national parks.

During the entire period of my work in Ivatsevichdrev, I have never been aware of such facts and this has never happened during my tenure by CEO.

All accusations are lies. It will be a pity if you believe the deceivers who are pursuing goals unknown to me.

We have always been responsible for the standards of the FSC, with pleasure and very openly passed annual audits. All timber accounting in our company is automated in ERP.

Prior to the imposition of sanctions, our company successfully passed independent audits twice a year for compliance with European social standards. And we are happy to go through them again.

I must say that our company has an anti-harassment policy and I personally meet once every three months in public with the entire team, where anyone can ask a question and get an answer to it.

Separately, it is important to note that since February 2020, lean manufacturing methods have been actively introduced in our company. We have done a lot of work in this direction!
