HOW WE PURSUE THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS 2030
With future generations in mind, PKN ORLEN engages in a wide range of CSR projects and invests in zero- and low-carbon economy projects under internal documents adopted by the Company, including the CSR Strategy until 2022, the Code of Ethics, and the ORLEN Group Growth Strategy until 2030, announced in 2020, as well as international sustainable development initiatives we have signed.
Our projects are consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 announced by the United Nations and adopted by almost 200 countries, including Poland. Presented below are projects initiated or implemented by the ORLEN Group in 2020, which are assigned to strategic Sustainable Development Goals for the fuel and energy industry in Poland. The projects have been assigned to the specific SDGs by approximation, as the Sustainable Development Goals are intertwined and complement each other.This means our projects, given their subject matter, contribute to the achievement of more than one objective at the same time. It is also worth noting that in the case of companies the level of activity – in terms of scope and capabilities – is different than that of governments of countries around the world who are signatories to the UN declaration.
