      Sistema is ranked as one of the Russian leaders in environmental 
            transparency 
 
     Moscow, 8 December 2020 - Sistema PJSFC (hereinafter, "Sistema" or "the 
 Corporation") (LSE: SSA; MOEX: AFKS), a publicly-traded diversified holding 
  company, announces that the Corporation and its portfolio company MTS PJSC 
     (NYSE: MBT; MOEX: MTSS), Russia's largest mobile operator and a leading 
 provider of media and digital services, have both been ranked among the top 
   seven out of 29 Russian companies to voluntarily disclose climate data in 
        line with the international CDP (formerly known as Carbon Disclosure 
Project) reporting systemin 2020. As a result, Sistema and MTS have improved 
                         their positions in the global CDP rating to 'B'. 
 
     Increasing transparency and improving non-financial reporting are among 
     Sistema's guiding corporate responsibility principles. As a responsible 
   investor, the Corporation recognises the value of submitting data through 
CDP in allowing Sistema to better understand the environmental impact of its 
    investment activities, as well as climate change risks and opportunities 
within its portfolio companies. Sistema is proud to be among the responsible 
    global businesses striving to mitigate environmental impacts and improve 
                         corporate accountability. 
 
In 2020, 515 investors with US$106 trillion in assets requested thousands of 
     companies to disclose their environmental data through CDP. The rise in 
   corporate disclosure - which has now reached 9,600 companies worldwide in 
   2020 - is evidence that transparency around environmental impact is now a 
                         business norm.
