KEY FINDINGS
The index scores above the global average only
for About Us content (where it also outperforms
the UK FTSE 250, the Portuguese PSI 20, the US
S&P 100 and the US Dow Jones). The MICEX/
RTS is now falling behind fairly significantly in its
use of Social Media (just six companies link to a
corporate/IR Twitter account) and in its Careers
and CSR content (only a third of companies even
have a dedicated Careers section and only three
companies have a CSR video). Of the indices
scored this quarter, the RTSI’s overall score only
beats the PSI 20 – but even here is scoring lower
than the PSI 20 for CSR and Careers.
The average MICEX/RTS score has continued to improve – and is up
by a creditable 3% since the index was last fully scored in Q4 2013 in
marked contrast to most other European indices which were generally
stagnant.
Our latest ranking of the corporate websites and wider digital presence
of the MICEX/RTS reveals that 45% of the index saw their scores
increase in the last six months – compared to 78% of the index in Q4
2013. Nearly 80% of the index scores below the global average of the
nearly 1,400 companies we have scored in the past 12 months. Only
Uralkali scores above the FTSE 100 average.
The average overall score for the MICEX/RTS is 37% –
still some way behind the global average of 45% – and
below the averages recorded by all the other indices
we score apart from the Portuguese PSI 20 (36%), the
Polish WIG 30 (35%) and the Israeli TA-25 (27%).
Multimedia and Mobile scores have increased but Social Media,
Careers and CSR scores remain low.
» Just one MICEX/RTS company is in the top 20% of the 1,400 highest
scoring companies globally – but 16 companies fall in the bottom 20%,
showing that while there has been considerable improvement, there is
still much more to be done
However, there were some positives – the index has
seen a leap of 46% in average Multimedia scores since
Q4 2013. 40% of the MICEX/RTS now webcast their
results (compared to 66% of the FTSE 250 and 93% of
the FTSE 100) – but to put this into a different context,
a year ago just 23% of the MICEX/RTS did so. However,
only three companies (Lukoil, Polymetal and Sberbank)
do video webcasting. A third of the index now has a
corporate video and over 40% has a video gallery –
evidence of companies offering a range of video content.
» Leading the index on 61%, Uralkali comes 145th in the world and is
the 9th best performing chemicals company globally in what is a strong
sector (Bayer and BASF come 2nd and 3rd respectively)
» NLMK (3rd), Mechel (4th) and Rostelecom (10th) all enter the Top 10, the
latter two for the first time
» NLMK was both the highest climber, up 18 places from #21, and
also showed the biggest increase in its score – thanks to significant
improvements in the use of Multimedia and CSR and Corporate
Governance content
Mobile scores also increased significantly – up by
30% from six months ago but this was from a very low
base. Just two companies, ALROSA and Rostelecom,
have responsive websites while only a further five have
dedicated mobile sites. This low take-up is worrying
given that our latest research shows that one in five visits
to a corporate site now comes from a mobile device. By
contrast over two-thirds of the FTSE 100 provide either a
dedicated mobile site or make use of responsive design.
» The index’s strongest average score is in Corporate Governance (63%) –
but this score is still below the global average of 64% and behind every
other index we score regularly except for the FTSE 250 (60%)

Scores are out of 100. Where the overall score is the same, rank has been determined using the Usability score as a secondary measure. As best
practice, site content must be available in both Russian and English: for this reason Transneft was not scored in Q2 2014 as the English language
version of the site was temporarily unavailable. In addition, five companies have two listings in the index, but they are only scored for the one index: as
a result 44 companies are presented here.
