The message reads, in part:
“Over the years, several generations of Transneft employees – engineers, builders and developers, workers and staff members representing other professions – have all made a truly unique contribution to developing Russia’s oil and gas sector and the national economy as a whole. It is largely thanks to their professionalism and creative energy that we launched cutting edge infrastructure facilities in the most challenging climate zones, building tens of thousands of kilometres of mainline pipelines, as well as oil loading ports, storage reservoirs and pumping stations. Today, Transneft is viewed as one of the world’s leading companies for transporting oil and petroleum products. In addition, the company has gone to great lengths in its corporate social responsibility by undertaking major projects to promote patriotic education, holding awareness campaigns, as well as carrying out charity and sports projects.
It is essential that you never relax your efforts and seek to strengthen your ties with promising new foreign partners and Russian companies, all while striving to create and develop your own manufacturing facilities, and constantly seeking to introduce state-of-the-art technology in compliance with the highest standards in terms of environmental protection and energy efficiency.”
