SOCIETY

In building the ORLEN Group’s position, we attach equal importance to our business and CSR agendas. We feel responsible for other members of the communities where we operate, therefore we engage in dialogue and support them in various areas of activity. We value and support Polish culture, science and sports. We are proud that the way we operate contributes to bolstering Poland’s reputation abroad.

The ORLEN Group operates programmes with a nationwide reach, enabling us to bring support to local communities, for instance the ‘My Place on Earth’ or ‘ORLEN for Firefighters’grant programmes run by the ORLEN Foundation. ORLEN Group companies are actively involved with local communities, especially in Płock and other places where they operate. The ‘ORLEN for Płock’ programme has been in place for four years now, with 34 projects completed within its framework in 2020. In 2018, we created an innovative tool for communicating with local communities – the Free Information System for residents of the Płock region. PKN ORLEN is a sponsor of the Grant Fund for Płock Foundation, which has been recognised as one of the 30 best CSR projects in Poland.

In 2020, we increased our involvement in health promotion. PKN ORLEN and the ORLEN Foundation provided active in-kind and financial support to combat the COVID-19 epidemic. Responding to the needs of Płock residents, PKN ORLEN continued cooperation with the Maria Skłodowska Curie National Institute for Oncology under an agreement concerning the Comprehensive Programme for the Prevention, Diagnostics and Treatment of Cancers and Respiratory System Diseases for Residents of the City and County of Płock.

Our corporate foundations, i.e. the ORLEN Foundation, Energa Foundation, Anwil Foundation, and Unipetrol Foundation, run scholarship programmes for students. In line with our Charitable Giving Policy, the ORLEN Foundation executes charitable projects, with a particular focus on helping foster family group homes, and numerous social outreach initiatives.

Both ORLEN Group employees and third parties participate in various social initiatives as part of the employee volunteering programme. ORLEN Group employees are invited to put forward their own volunteering initiatives and benefit from financial support from the ORLEN Foundation to implement them. In 2020, employees carried out more than 50 projects and spent six thousand hours in total on volunteering work. Employees participating in volunteering projects are entitled to an additional day off (fully paid).

In a significant step towards ensuring a responsible supply chain, PKN ORLEN incorporated responsible business and OHS criteria into its procurement management standard. Compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct is a mandatory criterion in the process of trading partner selection at ORLEN Group companies.

As a key player in the fuel and power market in the CEE region, PKN ORLEN runs the proprietary project FFbK Future Fuelled by Knowledge. The initiative is aimed at inspiring debate on key economic, business and social issues as well as sharing of ORLEN’s business knowledge. One of the activities undertaken as part of the project is the publication of original reports. In 2020, we prepared and released a report entitled ‘Energy transition. The future begins today’.

The ORLEN Group’s key social policies and procedures are described in the Non-Financial Statement of the ORLEN Group and PKN ORLEN S.A. for 2020.
This Integrated Report includes information on the management approach and key projects and metrics related to our social involvement.
