The Russian Railways Group’s mission aims to achieve the following strategic goals by 2030:
The target business model ensures the balanced and interdependent development of the Russian Railways Group based on five key units:
A strategic priority for the development of this business unit is to establish a diversified product basket for the Russian Railways Group with a transition from providing mostly transportation services to providing freight owners with complex integrated door-to-door services with a subsequent expansion in the spectrum from 2PL to 3PL and 4PL services and the formation of global logistics chains.
A strategic priority for this business unit is to expand the range of advanced transportation services offered to customers by accelerating and increasing multimodal transportation and improving the quality of traditional services in trains and areas related to transportation.
One of the key objectives is to expand the operating domain of rapid-transit and high-speed transportation between the country’s largest metropolitan areas on the basis of modern efficient solutions.
A strategic priority for this business unit is to consolidate and expand the Group’s presence on the international railway engineering and transportation construction market and lay the groundwork to expand the Group’s other businesses on the markets where it operates as a contractor for the construction of infrastructure facilities.
The Company plans to actively develop this unit based on the Group’s unique skills in designing and building railway transportation facilities, establishing complex infrastructure and transportation management systems, organising traffic and managing railway economics and finances.
The strategic priorities for the development of infrastructure are dictated by its status as a natural monopoly and include reducing infrastructure costs, broadening opportunities to create new transportation (freight and passenger) and logistics products (speed, reliability of infrastructure services, increasing carrying capacity), modernising the network and building profitable additional mainlines for growing transportation volumes.
One of the specific features of developing the business unit is to retain its public services and government regulation as a natural monopoly as well as equal accessibility for consumers.
The Infrastructure Unit not only includes infrastructure, but traffic management systems and as well as traction operation and repair systems.
The Russian Railways Group’s Development Strategy is based on an understanding of the importance of the Group’s team as a key asset that is capable of ensuring long-term development goals and the perception of the Group’s social sphere as a significant competitive advantage.
To this end, the Company develops the Social Unit based on an objective assessment of the added value created from social support to employees and the effective use of the unit’s assets to provide market services. The Group’s social and public policy pursued outside of the workforce is an integral component of this unit.
