The Company constantly develops and implements regulating documents and procedures to specify the order of insurance protection at Russian Railways Group.

Since 2010, in order to ensure a unified approach to the organisation of insurance protection of subsidiaries, there has been a Single Corporate Concept of insurance protection for Russian Railways subsidiaries and its affiliated companies. This document specifies the common principles of insurance protection organisation for Russian Railways subsidiaries and its affiliated companies, the interaction procedure for Russian Railways subsidiaries and its affiliated companies with insurance market participants, and the insurance protection planning procedure, signing and administration of insurance contracts in accordance with the Russian Federation law and Group company guidelines.

In order to increase the efficiency of insurance events settlement, a set of methodological guidelines was developed for each type of insurance contract, and in 2013 the regulations were developed for subsidiaries interaction to organise insurance protection. The Company subsidiaries organise their process of insurance events settlement in accordance with these regulations.
