Sber publishes 2020 Annual Report including ESG reporting 
  ? Sber's Annual Report meets the requirements of the Russian and international regulators, LSE listing rules, and GRI 
    and SASB standards 
March 23, 2021, Moscow - Sber has published its 2020 Annual Report, which was compiled following the requirements of 
the Russian legislation, information disclosure regulations of the UK financial watchdog, and London Stock Exchange 
listing rules. 
Sber's 2020 Annual Report consists of two parts, that of the top executives and ESG reporting. 
The first part of the report describes the outcomes of Sber's work in its main areas of business activity, financial 
results, and corporate governance issues. The year 2020 was a noteworthy year for Sber - not just because of its 
adaptation and successful work in the context of the pandemic. Last year was marked by several corporate milestones, 
including a change in the holder of the majority stake, the achievement of the main goal of the previous strategy, the 
transformation of Sber into a tech company, the launch of the new Sber brand, and the adoption of a new development 
strategy for the period until 2023. On top of that, in 2020, Sberbank paid RUB 422.4 bn in dividends (50% of its net 
profit), setting a national record in Russia, with half of the sum - RUB 211.2 bn - going to the national budget. 
The ESG report focuses on major developments in Sber's ESG transformation, as well as describes the implementation of 
various social and environmental initiatives, the green products on offer, and the development of responsible finance 
practices. The ESG report has been prepared in compliance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards for 
accountability in sustainable development. Moreover, the report discloses information in accordance with Sustainability 
Accounting Standards Board's (SASB) industry classification and risk factors. 
The 2020 Annual Report is included in the materials for the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and will be 
submitted for its approval on April 23, 2021.
