Sustainable development

The primary goal of making a lot of commitments within the corporate social responsibility is to contribute to sustainable development and building value for us and for our environment, both social and the natural environment.

In 2017, in the scope of CSR activity, we continued the projects and initiatives from previous years. They focused on four key areas:

  • environmental protection and ecology – with special focus on the biodiversity of the Baltic Sea (given the seaboard location of our refinery),
    as well as other areas of outstanding natural value located in the Company’s immediate vicinity,
    Our good practices on environmental protection can be found HERE
  • road traffic safety – which we influence through the quality of our products as well as comprehensive educational campaigns,
  • Ensuring equal opportunities and supporting the education and development of children and young people −
    who are the target group of our CSR sports programmes and various other projects focusing on the support of talented youth.
  • Supporting physical activity of children and young people and promotion of young sports talents. Our good practices on social issues can be found HERE
