INTEGRATING ESG PRINCIPLES INTO THE 2024 GROUP STRATEGY

MISSION AND PRIORITIES OF THE 2024 STRATEGY

In 2021, Moscow Exchange Group continued to implement its 2024 Group Strategy, which was approved by the Supervisory Board in 2019. The Strategy identifies two areas of responsibility for the Group and three areas of development, which correspond to the Group’s mission and vision.

The Group’s mission is to bring trust, efficiency, and innovation to financial markets, as well as to help companies and the public achieve sustainable prosperity. The Group’s vision is to be the leading platform for the Russian financial market, providing reliable access to all traded asset classes, and to meet a wide range of clients’ financial needs.

Priorities of the 2024 Group Strategy
FINANCIAL PLATFORMMoscow Exchange plans to expand its accounting infrastructure with respect to financial assets; it also intends to broaden its range of services to include more savings instruments and information assets.
