Our business plans, new products, development plans of the organisation and our impact on local communities and environment have been confronted with the stakeholders’ expectations. Each year, the non-financial reporting process is consulted on an ongoing basis with the selected groups of stakeholders. Engaged are mainly our employees – the team editing the contents and consulting the major issues to be reported, the Management Board and key managerial staff, but also external stakeholders, such as local governments with whom we arrange the engagement of the Capital Group in order to optimally respond to the real needs of the local communities.

The stakeholders, among other groups of people, affect the Capital Group development directions. This happens by changes in legal requirements, the needs of new employee generations, or challenges posed by the care for climate issues. Processes are constantly adjusted to the challenges the business faces in the 21st century. We strive for introducing climate-friendly solutions, caring for the business culture and strongly emphasising human rights in the contemporary world.

Our priority is regular communication with major stakeholders. Our environmental, social and management activities are reported:

in the Non-financial Information Statement, as part of the Report of the Management Board on the operations of the Company and the Capital Group;
in the integrated report at: https://raportzintegrowany2022.grupakety.com/;
on external websites: grupakety.com/zrównoważony rozwój and www.dziecipodbeskidzia.pl;
on social networking portals: the Facebook account of Grupa KĘTY S.A. and the (’Grupa Kęty for the Children of the Podbeskidzie Region’ Foundation, and the Linkedin) account;

in meetings, in the Intranet, in newsletters and on notice boards/displays serving the daily contacts with the employees.
