KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND FUNCTIONAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

GRI 3-3

Starting from 2023, the system of key performance indicators of the Rosseti Group is built in accordance with Russian Government Order No. 3579-r dated 28 December 2020 (hereinafter referred to as Order No. 3579-r) based on Russian Government Directives No. 991p-P13 dated 31 January 2023.

In accordance with Order No. 3579-r, the system of key performance indicators is divided into two groups: key performance indicators (hereinafter referred to as KPIs) and functional key performance indicators (hereinafter referred to as FKPIs). Herewith, KPIs are indicators linked to the Company’s strategic documents, which are used to assess the performance of the Company’s entire management team (Head, Deputy Heads, Chief Accountant), while KPIs are individual indicators set for the Company’s officials personally, with due regard to the specifics of the Company’s business lines supervised by them.

The KPI and FKPI system applied in the Company is interrelated with the size of the variable part of management remuneration (50% of incentive payments for KPI achievement, 50% of incentive payments for FKPI achievement): each of the indicators has a specific weight in the volume of bonuses paid, annual bonuses are paid subject to accomplishment of the respective indicators.

No comparison of 2023 indicators with 2022 indicators is made due to significant changes in the mix and calculation procedures of KPIs and FKPIs.

KPIs and FKPIs of the Company and their target values for 2023–2025 were based on:

  • Clause 15.1 of Article 15 of the Company’s Articles of Association
  • Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company dated 29 December 2023 (Minutes No. 557/2023 dated 29 December 2023)

For FKPIs: if the achievement level is more than 100%, a percentage equal to 100% is reported; if the achievement level is less than 90%, an achievement percentage equal to 0% is reported.
