Otherwise, how could it be possible to overcome all the obstacles that Russian business has faced in the last 2.5 years. We had to find new sales markets, to engage in import substitution and reverse engineering, to organize payments and settlements in a new way. At the same time, we created new products, provided new services and not only survived, but also developed. I am pleased to note that the leading Russian companies never tired of addressing many issues related to the concept of "sustainable development", which includes the environment, demography, and the development of the territories where they operate".
