- Increase in pollutant emissions into the atmosphere due to the inclusion of data on emissions in branches of JSC Quadra – Power Generation
- Increase in the volume of waste generated due to an increase in the amount of loose overburden produced in an enterprise of the Mining Division
- Increase in water withdrawal due to the inclusion of water withdrawal by the branches of JSC Quadra – Power Generation
