FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

2018

within the individual companies of the 

Group. Deferred tax assets for deductible 

temporary differences and tax losses 

carried forwards are recorded only to 

the extent that it is probable that future 

taxable profit will be available against 

which the deductions can be utilised.

Inventories.  Inventories are recorded 

at the lower of cost and net realisable 

value. The cost of inventories includes 

expenditures incurred in acquiring the 

inventories, production or conversion 

costs and other costs incurred in 

bringing them to their existing location 

and condition. Cost of manufactured 

inventories includes an appropriate 

share of production overheads based 

on normal operating capacity. The cost 

of inventories is determined on the 

first in first out basis for all inventories 

except for natural gas, oil and petroleum 

products. Weighted average cost formula 

is used for natural gas, oil and petroleum 

products. Net realisable value is the 

estimated selling price in the ordinary 

course of business, less the cost of 

completion and selling expenses. 

Trade accounts receivable.  Trade and 

other receivables are recognised initially 

at fair value and subsequently measured 

at amortised cost using the effective 

interest method, less provision for 

impairment. 

Prepayments made and other current 

assets.  Prepayments are carried at 

cost excluding VAT less provision for 

impairment. A prepayment is classified as 

non-current when the goods or services 

relating to the prepayment are expected 

to be obtained after one year, or when 

the prepayment relates to an asset that 

will itself be classified as non-current 

upon initial recognition.

If there is an indication that the 

assets, goods or services relating to 

a prepayment will not be received, 

the Group recognises provision 

for impairment in respect of such 

prepayment made and a corresponding 

impairment loss is recognised in the 

consolidated statement of profit or loss. 

Promissory notes.  Some purchases 

may be settled by promissory notes or 

bills of exchange, which are negotiable 

debt instruments. Purchases settled 

by promissory notes are recognised 

based on management’s estimate of 

the fair value to be given up in such 

settlements. The fair value is determined 

with reference to observable market 

information. 

Cash and cash equivalents.  Cash 

and cash equivalents include cash on 

hand, deposits held at call with banks, 

and other short-term highly liquid 

investments with original maturities of 

three months or less. Cash and cash 

equivalents are carried at amortised cost 

using the effective interest rate method.  

Restricted balances are excluded from 

cash and cash equivalents for the 

purposes of the statement of cash 

flows.  Balances restricted from being 

exchanged or used to settle a liability for 

the period from three to twelve months 

after the reporting date are included in 

other current assets. Balances restricted 

from being exchanged or used to settle a 

liability for at least twelve months after 

the reporting date are included in other 

non-current assets. 

Share capital.  Ordinary shares are 

classified as equity. Incremental costs 

directly attributable to the issue of 

new shares are shown in equity as a 

deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

Dividends and mandatory budget 

contribution of profit share.  Dividends 

and mandatory budget contribution 

of profit share are recognised as a 

liability and deducted from equity 

at the reporting date only if they are 

declared before or on the reporting date. 

Dividends are disclosed when they are 

proposed before the reporting date or 

proposed or declared after the reporting 

date but before the consolidated 

financial statements are authorised for 

issue. 

Value added tax (“VAT”).  In Ukraine 

VAT is levied at two rates: 20% on sales 

and imports of goods, works and services 

within the country, and 0% on the export 

of goods and limited list of services 

(e.g. international transportation). 

A taxpayer’s VAT liability equals the 

total amount of VAT accrued within 

a reporting period, and arises on the 

earlier of the date of shipping goods 

or rendering services to a customer or 

the date of receiving payment from the 

customer. A VAT input is the amount that 

a taxpayer is entitled to offset against 

his VAT liability in a reporting period. 

Rights to VAT input arise when a VAT 

invoice is received, which is issued on 

the earlier of the date of payment to the 

supplier or the date goods are received 

or services are rendered. VAT related 

to sales and purchases is recognised in 

the consolidated statement of financial 

position on a gross basis and disclosed 

separately as an asset and liability. Where 

provision has been made for impairment 

of receivables, the impairment loss is 

recorded for the gross amount of the 

debtor, including VAT, except provision for 

impairment of prepayments made.

Borrowings.  Borrowings include bank 

borrowings and bonds. 

Borrowing costs.  Borrowing costs 

directly attributable to the acquisition, 

construction or production of qualifying 

assets, which are assets that necessarily 

take a substantial period of time to get 

ready for their intended use or sale, are 

added to the cost of those assets, until 

such time as the assets are substantially 

ready for their intended use or sale. All 

other borrowing costs are recognised in 

consolidated profit or loss in the period 

in which they are incurred.

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair 

value, net of transaction costs incurred. 

Borrowings are subsequently carried 

at amortised cost using the effective 

interest method. Bank overdrafts are 

included into borrowings line item in 

the consolidated statement of financial 

position.

Trade accounts payable.  Trade 

accounts payable are recognised and 

initially measured under the policy for 

financial instruments mentioned above. 

Subsequently, instruments with a fixed 

maturity are re-measured at amortised 

cost using the effective interest method. 

Amortised cost is calculated by taking 

into account any transaction costs and 

any discount or premium on settlement. 

Advances received.  Advances received 

are carried at amounts originally received 

excluding VAT. Amounts of advances 

received are expected to be realised 

through the revenue received from usual 

activities of the Group. 

Provisions.  Provisions are recognised 

when the Group has a present obligation 

(legal or constructive) as a result of a past 

event and it is probable that an outflow 

of resources embodying economic 

benefits will be required to settle the 

obligation and a reliable estimate can be 

made of the amount of the obligation.

Where the Group expects some or all 

of a provision to be reimbursed, for 

example under an insurance contract, 

the reimbursement is recognised as 

a separate asset but only when the 

reimbursement is virtually certain.

The expense on any provision is presented 

in the consolidated statement of profit 

or loss net of any reimbursement. If 

the effect of time value of money is 

material, provisions are discounted using 

a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where 

appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 

Where discounting is used, the increase 

in provision due to the passage of time is 

recognised as a finance cost.

Other liabilities.  Other financial liabilities 

are recognised initially at fair value, net 

of transaction costs incurred, and are 

subsequently stated at amortised cost using 

the effective interest method. Other non-

financial liabilities are measured at cost.

Contingent assets and liabilities.  

contingent asset is not recognised in the 

consolidated financial statements but 

disclosed when an inflow of economic 

benefits is probable.

A contingent liability is not recognised in the 

consolidated financial statements unless 

it is probable that an outflow of economic 

resources will be required to settle the 

obligation and it can be reasonably estimated. 

Contingent liabilities are disclosed unless 

the possibility of an outflow of resources 

embodying economic benefits is remote.

Revenue recognition.  The Group has 

adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts 

with customers from 1 January 2018. 

In accordance to IFRS 15, revenue 

is recognised to depict the transfer 

of promised goods or services to 

customers in an amount that reflects the 

consideration to which the entity expects 

to be entitled in exchange for those 

goods or services. A 5- step approach 

to revenue recognition is used by the 

Group: 

●  іdentify the contract with the 

customer;

●  іdentify the performance obligations in 

the contract; 

●  determine the transaction price;

●  allocate the transaction price to 

the performance obligations in the 

contracts;

●  recognise revenue when (or as) 

the entity satisfies a performance 

obligation.

The Group recognises revenue when 

or as a performance obligation is 

satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods 

or services underlying the particular 

performance obligation is transferred to 

the customer. 

Revenue gross versus net presentation.  

When the Group acts as a principal, 

revenue and cost of sales are reported on 

a gross basis. If the Group sells goods or 

services as an agent, revenue is recorded 

on a net basis, representing the margin/

commission earned. Whether the Group is 

considered to be a principal or an agent in a 

transaction depends on the analysis of both 

legal form and substance of the agreement 

the Group enters in. 

Recognition of expenses.  Expenses 

are recorded on an accrual basis. Cost 

of sales comprises the purchase price, 

transportation costs, commissions 

relating to supply agreements and other 

related expenses. 

Finance income and costs.  Finance 

income and costs comprise interest 

expense on borrowings, losses on early 

repayment of loans, interest income 

on deposits and current accounts, 

income or loss on origination of financial 

instruments, unwinding of interest of the 

pension obligation and provisions.

Interest income is recognised as it 

accrues, taking into account the effective 

yield on the asset.

Employee benefits: Defined Contributions 

Plan.  The Group makes statutory unified 

social contributions to the Pension Fund 

of Ukraine in respect of its employees. 

The contributions are calculated as a 

percentage of current gross salary and are 

expensed when incurred. Discretionary 

pensions and other post-employment 

benefits are included in labor costs in the 

consolidated statement of profit or loss.

During the year ended 31 December 2018, 

the Group recognised expenses from 

contributions paid to the Pension Fund of 

Ukraine in amount of UAH 2,358 million 

(2017: UAH 1,929 million).

Employee benefits: Defined Benefit 

Plan.  The Group provides lump sum 

benefits, payments on reaching certain 

age, and other benefits as prescribed by 

the collective agreement. The liability 

recognised in the consolidated statement 

of financial position in respect of the 

defined benefit pension plan is the 

present value of the defined benefit 

obligation at the reporting date. The 

defined benefit obligation is calculated 

annually using the projected unit credit 

method.

Present value of the defined benefit 

obligation is determined by discounting 

the estimated future cash outflows using 

interest rates of high-quality corporate 

bonds that are denominated in the 

currency in which the benefits will be 

paid, and that have terms to maturity 

approximating the terms of the related 

pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from 

experience adjustments and changes 

in actuarial assumptions are charged or 

credited to other comprehensive income 

in the period in which they arise. Past 

service costs are recognised immediately 

in the consolidated statement of profit 

or loss.

27.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 

AND JUDGEMENTS

In the application of the Group’s 

accounting policies, management is 

required to make judgements, estimates 

and assumptions about the carrying 

amounts of assets and liabilities that 

are not readily apparent from other 

sources. The estimates and associated 

assumptions are based on historical 

experience and other factors that are 

considered to be relevant. Actual results 

may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying 

assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing 

basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 

are recognised in the period in which the 

estimate is revised if the revision affects 

only that period, or in the period of the 

revision and future periods if the revision 

affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying 

accounting policies.  The following are 

the critical judgements, apart from those 

involving estimations, that the Group 

management has made in the process of 

applying the Group’s accounting policies 

and that have the most significant 

effect on the amounts recognised in the 

consolidated financial statements. 

Revenue recognition.  In accordance 

with the Code of the gas transmission 

system, starting from 1 October 2015 

“Ukrtransgaz” JSC, as transmission 

system operator, is responsible for 

regulating an imbalance of the system 

which is calculated as the difference 

between the volumes of natural gas 

entering through the entry points and 

the volumes of natural gas exiting 

through the exit points, on the basis 

of actual data received through the 

allocation procedure, in the context of 

transmission service customers.

The Group provides balancing services 

and recognises revenue from these 

operations in accordance with the Code 

of the gas transmission system and terms 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

205

204

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

2018

of individual contracts with transmission 

services customers, considering that:

●  the Code of the gas transmission 

system provides that balancing services 

are provided by the transmission 

system operator based on the data 

on a monthly imbalance and do 

not require any confirmation from 

customers;

●  the price of balancing services is 

determined by “Ukrtransgaz” JSC as 

transmission system operator based 

on unadjusted negative balance of 

the customer and basic gas price. The 

basic gas price consists of gas purchase 

price, transmission and storage costs, 

and other costs, related to balancing 

services that can be reliably measured.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty.  

The following are the key assumptions 

concerning the future, and other key 

sources of estimation uncertainty at the 

end of the reporting period, that have 

a significant risk of causing a material 

adjustment to the carrying amounts 

of assets and liabilities within the next 

financial year. 

Employee benefit obligations.  The Group 

assesses post-employment and other 

employee benefit obligations using the 

projected unit credit method based on 

actuarial assumptions which represent 

management’s best estimates of the 

variables that will determine the ultimate 

cost of providing post-employment 

and other employee benefits. The 

present value of the pension obligations 

depends on a number of factors that 

are determined on an actuarial basis 

using a number of assumptions. The 

major assumptions used in determining 

the net cost (income) for pensions 

include the discount rate and expected 

salary increases. Any changes in these 

assumptions will impact the carrying 

amount of pension obligations. Since 

there are no long-term, high quality 

corporate or government bonds issued in 

Ukrainian hryvnias, significant judgement 

is needed in assessing an appropriate 

discount rate. Key assumptions are 

presented in Note 14. 

Decommissioning costs.  The 

decommissioning provision 

represents the present value of the 

decommissioning costs relating to oil and 

gas properties, which are expected to be 

incurred in the future (Note 14). These 

provisions were recognised, based on 

Group’s internal estimates. 

Main estimates include future 

market prices for the necessary 

decommissioning costs, and are based on 

market conditions and factors. Additional 

uncertainties relate to the timing of the 

decommissioning costs, which depends 

on depletion of the fields, future oil and 

gas prices and as a result – expected 

point of time, when there are no further 

economic benefits in the production.

Changes in these estimates can lead to 

the material changes in the provisions 

recognised in the consolidated statement 

of financial position.

Depreciation of the gas transit assets 

and depletion of the oil and gas assets. 

Oil and gas assets are depleted using 

a unit-of-production method. The cost 

of the wells is amortised based on the 

proved volumes of available reserves, 

estimated in accordance with the 

standards of the Petroleum Resource 

Management System (PRMS) prepared 

by the Oil and Gas Reserves Committee 

of Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). 

The estimation of hydrocarbons reserves 

is carried out in general on the field. 

Respectively, all wells of the field are 

depreciated based on the total volume 

of extracted from the field specific 

type of hydrocarbons for the period 

and the balances of reserves of such 

hydrocarbons at the beginning of the 

period. Changes in estimates regarding 

the volumes of total proved reserves 

either downward or upward, can result in 

the change of depreciation and depletion 

expenses.

The following events occurred during 

the first quarter of 2017 that provide 

higher probability of the assumption of 

no transit flows through Ukraine from           

1 January 2020, including but not limited 

to: ratifying the Intergovernmental 

agreement in respect of “TurkStream” 

gas pipeline project by the State Duma 

of the Russian Federation; obtaining 

permissions for partial commissioning 

of gas pipelines within “Nord Stream-2” 

project. As a result, the Group has revised 

useful lives of its transit assets planned 

for decommissioning after 31 December 

2019. This resulted in higher depreciation 

expense by UAH 21,981 million for the 

year ended 31 December 2018 (2017: 

UAH 16,486 million).

Estimation of oil and gas reserves.  

Reserves are the quantities of oil and gas 

which are anticipated to be commercially 

recovered from known accumulations 

from a given date forward under defined 

conditions. Proved and probable reserves 

used in depletion rate calculation are 

determined using estimates of known 

oil and gas reservoirs, recovery factors, 

operating conditions, future oil and gas 

prices and government regulations. 

Latest assessment of gas reserves 

was performed as at 30 June 2017, 

and latest assessment of oil reserves 

was performed as at 30 June 2016. 

Reserves estimates involve some degree 

of uncertainty, and their estimates 

are revised as additional geologic and 

engineering data becomes available or as 

economic conditions change. Accordingly, 

depletion rates and discounted cash 

flows for revaluation and impairment of 

property, plant and equipment may be 

also revised. 

Revaluation and impairment of property, 

plant and equipment. Management 

performs assessment whether 

carrying amounts of property, plant 

and equipment accounted under the 

revaluation model, differ materially 

from their fair values. Such assessment 

is performed on an annual basis, and 

involves analysis of prices, price indices, 

changes in technology, foreign exchange 

rates and other relevant factors. In 

case such assessment identifies that 

carrying amounts of items of property, 

plant and equipment differ materially 

from their fair values, management 

engages independent appraisers to 

perform property, plant and equipment 

revaluation.

Latest revaluation of property, plant and 

equipment was made by the independent 

appraisers as at 31 December 2017.

Management also reviews carrying 

amounts of property, plant and equipment 

to determine whether there are any 

indicators that these assets are impaired. 

Based on the analysis performed as at 31 

December 2018, the management of the 

Group identified impairment indicators 

for the following groups of property, 

plant and equipment: "Gas transmission 

system" and "Oil transmission system". 

The Group has engaged an independent 

appraiser for testing the existence of 

economic impairment of relevant groups 

of cash generating units and, accordingly, 

recorded the impairment of property, 

plant and equipment in a total amount of 

UAH 76,013 million (Note 5).

Major assumptions used in estimating 

the recoverable amount include 

judgments regarding discount rates, 

UAH/EUR exchange rates, and estimated 

changes in volumes of gas and oil transit 

and transportation. Management 

has determined the discount rate by 

using the after tax rate that reflects 

current market investment rates with 

similar risk levels. To project UAH/

EUR exchange rate, the Company has 

used consensus forecasts of analytical 

agencies. Movements in the volumes 

of gas and oil transit and transportation 

are based on the assumptions regarding 

industry developments and expectations 

on further market changes. Cash flow 

forecasts are based on the assumptions 

outlined in the table below for the 

next five years and the terminal value 

determined based on indicators for the 

last of five years. 

The following table discloses key 

judgments based on which management 

planned future cash flows for assessing 

its property, plant, and equipment for 

impairment:

After tax discount rate for USD denominated cash flows

13.1%

After tax discount rate for UAH denominated cash flows

16.4%

Annual gas transit volume, billion cubic meters

86.9

Annual gas transportation volume (exit points from GTS), billion cubic meters

35.4–41.2

Annual gas transportation volume (entry points to GTS), billion cubic meters

19.5–24.7

Annual gas imports volume, billion cubic meters

0–13.6

Annual oil transit volume, million ton

13.7-13.8

Annual oil transportation volume, million ton

2.6-3.5

Numerical values of key judgments of 

the Group’s management reflect their 

estimation of future business trends; 

they are based on both internal and 

external sources of the Group.

In making the assessment for general 

impairment, assets that do not generate 

independent cash flows are allocated 

to an appropriate cash-generating unit. 

Indicators of a potential impairment 

include analysis of market conditions, 

asset utilisation and the ability to utilise 

the asset for alternative purposes. If 

an indication of impairment exists, the 

Group estimates the recoverable value 

(greater of fair value less cost to sell 

and value in use) and compares it to the 

carrying value, and records impairment 

to the extent the carrying value is greater 

than the recoverable amount. 

Useful lives of other property, plant 

and equipment. The Group’s property, 

plant and equipment, except oil and gas 

assets are depreciated using straight-

line method over their estimated useful 

lives, which are based on management’s 

business plans and operational estimates.

The Group reviews the estimated useful 

lives of property, plant and equipment at 

the end of each annual reporting period. 

The review is based on the current 

condition of the assets and the estimated 

period during which they will continue to 

bring economic benefit to the Group. Any 

change in estimated useful life or residual 

value is recorded on a prospective basis 

from the date of the change.

Impairment of trade accounts receivable. 

Management estimates the likelihood 

of the collection of trade accounts 

receivable based on an analysis of 

individual accounts. Factors taken 

into consideration include an ageing 

analysis of trade accounts receivable in 

comparison with the payment history, 

credit terms allowed to customers and 

available market information regarding 

the counterparty’s ability to pay. 

Should actual collections be less than 

management’s estimates, the Group 

would be required to record an additional 

impairment expenses. 

Inventory valuation. Inventory are stated 

at lower of cost or net realisable value. 

In assessing the net realisable value 

of its inventories, management bases 

its estimates on various assumptions 

including current market prices. At each 

reporting date, the Group evaluates its 

inventories for excess quantities and 

obsolescence and, if necessary, records 

an allowance to reduce inventories 

for obsolete and slow-moving goods. 

This allowance requires assumptions 

related to future inventories use. These 

assumptions are based on inventories 

ageing and forecasted demand. Any 

changes in the estimates may impact the 

amount of the allowances for inventory 

that may be required. 

28.  ADOPTION OF NEW OR 

REVISED STANDARDS AND 
INTERPRETATIONS 

Adoption of new and revised 

International Financial Reporting 

Standards.  The following standards have 

been adopted by the Group for the first 

time for the financial year beginning on 

or after 1 January 2018: 

●  IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”;

●  IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with 

Customers” including amendments 

to IFRS 15: Effective date of IFRS 15”. 

Clarifications to IFRS 15 “Revenue from 

Contracts with Customers”; 

●  amendments to IFRS 2 “Share-

based Payment” – Classification and 

Measurement of Share-based Payment 

Transactions;

●  IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency 

Transactions and Advance 

Consideration”;

●  amendments to IFRS 4 “Applying IFRS 

9 “Financial Instruments” with IFRS 4 

“Insurance Contracts”;

●  Amendments to IAS 40 “Investment 

Property”: Transfers of Investment 

Property;

●  annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-

2016 Cycle.

Except the changes related to adoption 

of new standards IFRS 9 “Financial 

Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 

15 “Revenue from Contracts with 

Customers” (“IFRS 15”) described 

below, the adoption of amendments 

to standards did not have any effect on 

the financial position or performance 

reported in the consolidated financial 

statements and had not resulted in 

any changes to the Group’s accounting 

policies and the amounts reported for 

the current or prior years. 

With the effect from 1 January 2018, 

the Group has changed its accounting 

policy for recognition of revenue as well 

as classification and measurement of 

financial instruments according to IFRS 9 

and IFRS 15 as described in Note 26.

The Group has adopted IFRS 9 

retrospectively. In accordance with 

the transitional provisions of IFRS 9,

Management is currently evaluating 

the impact of the adoption of IFRS 

16 “Leases”. For other Standards and 

Interpretations management anticipates 

that their adoption in future periods 

will not have a material effect on the 

consolidated financial statements of the 

Group in future periods.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 introduces a single 

comprehensive model for the 

identification of lease arrangements and 

accounting treatments for both lessors 

and lessees.  IFRS 16 will supersede the 

current lease guidance including IAS 17 

“Leases” and the related Interpretations 

for the reporting periods beginning on 

or after 1 January 2019.  The date of first 

application of IFRS 16 for the Group will 

be 1 January 2019.

The Group is planning to use the lease 

determination provisions and related 

interpretations described in IFRS 16 to all 

leases concluded or modified on or after 

1 January 2019, irrespective of whether it 

acts as a lessor or lessee under the lease 

contract. 

IFRS 16 will change the Group’s 

procedure of accounting for leases that 

were previously classified as operating 

under IAS 17.

When applying IFRS 16 for the first time, 

the Group will:

a)  record assets in the form of the 

right to use and lease liability in the 

consolidated statement of financial 

position and measure at the present 

value of future lease payments;

b)  record depreciation of assets in the 

form of the right to use and interest 

on lease liability in the consolidated 

statement of profit or loss and 

comprehensive income;

c)  allocate total amount of cash paid to 

principal (presented within financial 

activities) and interest (presented 

within operating activities) in the 

consolidated statement of cash flows.

In respect of short-term leases (12 

months or less) and lease of low value 

assets (such as personal laptops and 

office furniture), the Group is planning 

to record lease expenses on a straight 

line basis in accordance with the 

requirements of IFRS 16.

The Group’s management is currently 

estimating the effect IFRS 16 on the 

Group’s business, but it does not 

anticipate that the adoption of IFRS 16 

will have a material effect on the Group’s 

consolidated financial position and/or 

consolidated financial performance.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

DETERMINATION OF THE CONTENT 

AND THE MATERIAL TOPICS  

OF THE REPORT

The annual report covers the activities 

of Naftogaz Group during 2018 and 

is the fourth edition prepared under 

the GRI Standard. The company 

seeks to achieve the proper level of 

disclosure, constantly improving the 

reporting process. While preparing 

the report, the company is guided by 

the GRI Standard principles regarding 

its quality (accuracy, balance, clarity, 

comparability, reliability, time 

sequence), and in determination of the 

content of the report:

•  Interaction with stakeholders;

• Sustainable development context;

• Essence;

• Completeness

Below is the detailed description of 

the principles used for determining the 

content of the report.

Interaction with  

stakeholders

The key principle the company 

is guided by in determining the 

content of the report is interaction 

with stakeholders. The company has 

the Procedure for interaction with 

Stakeholders in place that regulates 

the main principles of interaction, 

defines the list of stakeholders, the 

sequence, scope and ways of providing 

and documenting information, the 

algorithm for building a bilateral 

dialogue with them. The Procedure 

is available on the company's official 

website.

The stakeholders map and the main 

methodologies for interacting with 

them are presented in the Naftogaz 

annual report for 2017.

Sustainable  

Development Context

In the preparation of the annual report, 

Naftogaz seeks to describe the results 

of its operations and their impacts in 

the broad sustainable development 

context. To this end, the report 

discloses how the company impacts 

or seeks to impact the changes in 

economic, environmental and social 

conditions at the local level, as well as 

national and global levels.

Naftogaz is aware of its responsibility 

for its direct and indirect impacts in 

all areas of sustainable development, 

especially in the context of potential 

integration into the European energy 

market. 

Essence

In its annual report, Naftogaz discloses 

topics that are material and reflect the 

most important characteristics of the 

company's impacts on the economic, 

environmental and social aspects.

Disclosure of material topics should 

be in line with the main expectations 

of the stakeholders, since it impacts 

their decision-making. Therefore, the 

significant topics to be covered by 

the annual report are identified in 

close interaction with the internal and 

external stakeholders. All the topics 

identified in this way are evaluated 

in terms of their importance for the 

company's activities and their impact 

on the economic, environmental and 

social aspects. The following tools are 

used to evaluate and prioritize the 

topics:

•  Analysis of the company's external 

information environment;

•  Review of annual reports and 

sustainable development reports 

of peer companies in Ukraine and 

abroad;

•  Survey of Naftogaz internal structural 

units and subsidiaries;

•  Consultations with the 

representatives of company senior 

management;

•  Review of international standards, 

agreements, resolutions in the 

field of sustainable development, 

for example, SDG (Sustainable 

Development Goals).

For each material topic, its coverage 

boundaries are defined, i.e. a list of 

structural and organizational units 

(subsidiaries, joint ventures) whose 

performance is included in the report 

so that a topic is disclosed at an 

appropriate level. The table below 

lists the material topics and their 

boundaries, which are defined in the 

process of preparing the 2018 report.

The list of substantive topics is 

reviewed once a year for their inclusion 

in the next annual report.

Completeness

To ensure the principle of completeness, 

in its annual report Naftogaz discloses 

information on material topics within 

their boundaries to the extent necessary 

to reflect the important characteristics of 

the company's impact on the economic, 

environmental and social aspects, which 

will enable stakeholders to use this 

information to assess the results of the 

group's operations and make informed 

decisions.

The principle of completeness is 

associated with the following factors:

•  The list of material topics covered 

by the report should be sufficient to 

describe the company's key economic, 

environmental and social impacts;

•  For some material topics, the 

boundaries may vary, however, they 

should cover all significant impacts of 

the company's activities;

•  The timelines of the report require, 

first of all, the disclosure of information 

about events and performances that 

occurred during the reporting period. 

At the same time, the report should 

describe not only the short- and 

medium-term effects of such events 

and results, but also their possible 

impact in the future.
