这些公司进一步发展并使计划不仅提高目前的可持续性,而且应对未来的需求。俄罗斯化肥公司Phosagro正在迅速扩大市场上的肥料数量,以解决粮食安全,在前所未有的人口增长。与此同时,ENEL俄罗斯正在投资存储解决方案和电子动机或电动车辆。

许多首席执行官正在拥抱第四次工业革命所提供的效率,其中大数据和自动化在帮助公司获得竞争优势中发挥着越来越大的作用。北北北斯塔基尔投资超过25亿美元的升级和扩大其运营,而Mondi正在投资机器人以降低制造成本。

Utilities

What’s the biggest challenge facing your sector right now?

The power sector is experiencing a huge transformation all over the world, Russia included. The trends of urbanization and digitalization, the increasing use of renewables, and a more active role played by consumers require new ways of using energy and new technologies. In Russia, we are working hard on the diversification of our portfolio embedding renewables in our strategy, on the digitalization of our operations to increase efficiency, and on the modernization of our fleet to remain competitive in a market where overcapacity dominates.

How is your company being innovative?

Enel is one of the leading utilities driving innovation in the power sector, and Enel Russia benefits from being part of the Group. We were among the first companies in Russia to commission new combined-cycle gas turbines units at our power plants and to install fabric filters to reduce emissions. We are also the first company in the country to have implemented a dry ash removal system, which was installed at Russia’s largest coal power plant, Reftinskaya GRES. Moreover, last year we entered the renewables market with two wind projects of 291 megawatt assigned capacity and, last but not least, we opened the Enel Innovation hub in Russian Skolkovo, so we expect to further push innovation in the Russian power sector in the years to come.

What should foreign investors know before investing in your country?

Russia is a country of big challenges and big opportunities, so if you strongly believe in your ideas and you work hard, you will be rewarded with a huge success. The country supports reliable investors that come here with a long-term vision. Trust starts with you and is reciprocated with mutual respect.

How will 2018 be remembered?

与俄罗斯成为世界杯中最重要的足球队之一。除了笑话,今年充满了新的项目和新计划。我们正在努力为俄罗斯能源市场开发新的能源解决方案,如储存和电子行动,但我们的主要重点将是我们密切关注的俄罗斯一代车队现代化的新长期计划。

What’s the biggest challenge facing your sector right now?

The challenge for the packaging industry globally is to significantly reduce packaging material (and thus carbon emissions and energy), where possible move to renewable materials like

paper, and to reuse or recycle packaging, thus creating a circular economy.

How is your company being innovative?

Mondi is at the forefront of sustainable packaging, addressing challenges with many incremental and major innovations. Some key examples are water-resistant bags that replace plastic bags for products like lawn fertilizer and cement. Also, our innovative material-light flexible packaging substitutes material-heavy rigid plastics, for example stand-up pouches for drinks, baby food, or shower gel. This substitution reduces plastics by around 70 percent and significantly lowers carbon emissions. Our award-winning stand-up pouches for cat food replace material-intensive metal cans.

What should foreign investors know before investing in your country?

Mondi is truly global with three corporate offices in Johannesburg, London, and Vienna, and operations in over 30 countries. Manufacturing across the globe brings its challenges and we believe that building local leadership teams who understand the culture and market dynamics plays a big role in being successful.

How will 2018 be remembered?

2018 has seen a welcome and necessary surge of consumer interest in finding solutions to environmental issues, including plastic in our oceans. From high-profile documentaries to heart-wrenching photographs – it is clear that we all need to take action. I’d like to remember 2018 as the year where Mondi gains traction in contributing to a better world.

Chemicals

What’s the biggest challenge facing your sector right now?

矿物肥料和北北北北面面临的主要挑战是面对持续人口增长的全球粮食安全。为了帮助提供肥沃的土壤和支持世界各地的作物产量,近年来我们一直在增加生产能力10%。我们还寻求在整个生产过程中成为环境的良好管家,并在农民用来帮助种植庄稼的最终产品中。由于其高品质和纯度,我们的肥料是独一无二的:它们自然是免于潜在的有害杂质,如镉和其他重金属,可以被作物吸收,在土壤中积聚或浸入供水中。

How is your company being innovative?

我们有一个内部研发中心,开发原始技术和解决方案,由俄罗斯和国际专利确认。研发中心还开发了新的肥料等级,以满足世界各地农民不断变化的需求,通过考虑各个作物,土壤类型和气候条件的特定特征,帮助他们更有效地增长。如今,斑阳生产35级肥料,而五年前首席执行官始于CEO。

Our innovation efforts are also focused on enhancing workplace safety, protecting the environment and improving production processes. I think that the results have been impressive; in my five years as CEO, emissions per unit of production have decreased 1.5-fold, labor productivity has increased twofold, and LTIFR (lost-time injury frequency rate) declined by two times to 0.1, a level that is in line with industry leaders. PhosAgro’s growth in labor productivity places us among the leaders in Russian industry.

In addition, we are working together with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry in the area of green chemistry, and are providing grants to support research into applications for recycling of phosphogypsum waste that is a result of phosphate-based fertilizer production.

What should foreign investors know before investing in your country?

Our economy is increasingly competitive, stable, and transparent – and I believe there are significant opportunities for investors in a number of sectors. As a fertilizer producer, we are naturally interested in agricultural production – and Russia’s agricultural sector is one of the fastest-growing worldwide. While we will always remain a major exporter, with trading operations in key markets from Asia to Europe to South America, PhosAgro benefits from the growth of the domestic agri-sector.

How will 2018 be remembered?

This year Russia will be remembered for the World Cup. The Russian team’s success was a historic achievement. Looking beyond football, however, I think this year will be remembered as the year when the global community started to recognize the meaningful steps that Russian business is taking to protect the environment. PhosAgro and other domestic companies are already easily on par with or better than many of our global peers when it comes to the work we are doing to limit our environmental footprint, and I think there is an increasing recognition across Russian industry that we are part of a global effort to protect the environment for future generations.

金融

What’s the biggest challenge facing your sector right now?

For us the biggest challenge is the entrance of tech giants to the financial services market. Currently they are not as capable at banking as us, but it is really a question of who will learn faster – will banks master technology or will tech companies master banking first? Modern technology lets people almost completely forgo the services of traditional banks. The banking sector has zero chance of surviving in its current form. But we have every chance to catch hold of this trend and become to market’s largest tech company. In terms of the Russian banking sector, it is at the initial stage of development in this sense. Russia is one of the markets with the fastest growing tech segment, and we see large potential for growth of cash-free transactions.

How is your company being innovative?

今天Sberbank不仅仅是一家银行了;这是一个技术公司首先。四年前,我们开始积极开发银行的数据分析。今天,就数据分析的成熟和AI能力而言,我们是市场领导者之一。但是这些能力足以让我们与领导技术公司竞争?当然不是。我们有更多要做的事。

What should foreign investors know before investing in your country?

俄罗斯市场目前正在发生根本性的变化。这些变化的关键驱动因素是每天影响人,企业和国家的突破性技术。快速的技术变革是我们决定创造三年战略而不是通常为期五年的精确原因。

How will 2018 be remembered?

For Russia, 2018 will be remembered as the year of presidential elections – the year when we determined our future for the next six years. That is not a short period of time for anyone. Undoubtedly the entire world will remember the World Cup, which for the first time is taking place in stadiums throughout Russia. But not just in our stadiums – the streets and squares are also full of millions of fans from all over the globe. It’s a real celebration for everyone.

我希望我们还会记得completi 2018on of the deal to sell Turkey’s DenizBank. We didn’t plan to sell such a highly profitable asset, but received a very attractive proposal with a significant premium to the market price, which fitted in with our assessment of DenizBank’s excellent potential. The decision to sell was related to Sberbank Group’s changing international development strategy, and will allow us to focus more on other markets.
