Rusal Urges for Management Changes at Nornickel

Russian aluminium giant Rusal said on Tuesday it had requested Norilsk Nickel’s board of directors make management changes, relocate its headquarters to Norilsk in Russia’s Arctic and overhaul its environmental and safety policies, Reuters reported.

Rusal said it was seriously concerned by a series of ecological accidents in Norilsk and that they raised questions over the competence of Nornickel’s management.
