Delo Group Receives Prominent Sustainable Development Rating from ACRA Rating Agency

Delo Group has received a very high rating in the areas of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) performance from the Analytical Credit Rating Agency (ACRA). The Group was assigned an ESG-4 (AA-) rating, reflecting its strong commitment to key sustainability principles.

This is the first time Delo Group has been awarded an ESG rating. ACRA’s experts conducted a comprehensive assessment based on data from five of the Group’s companies, representing more than 90% of its workforce, and benchmarked the results against comparable organizations.

The agency highlighted Delo Group’s extensive employee benefits compared to industry peers, including professional development programs, 100% coverage under voluntary health insurance, and training opportunities at the corporate university. ACRA also noted the Group’s corporate program supporting childbirth, motherhood, and childhood as a best practice in social responsibility.

The report emphasized Delo Group’s strong focus on environmental issues, consistent with leading international standards. Analysts pointed out the company’s transparent data disclosure, moderate environmental impact indicators, initiatives to offset its carbon footprint through green certificate purchases, and ongoing energy efficiency programs.

Sustainable development is one of Delo Group’s strategic priorities. The company adheres to principles of environmental stewardship and responsible resource management, continuously improving environmental performance and minimizing its ecological footprint. In August, Delo Group published its third sustainability report, underscoring its contribution to Russia’s national objectives and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The Analytical Credit Rating Agency (ACRA) is one of Russia’s largest national rating agencies, providing independent and up-to-date credit and ESG assessments for participants in the financial and corporate sectors. < Back to list
