The Capital Group of Grupa KĘTY S.A. treats the health and safety of its employees and their families as a priority. Among other activities, we have provided our employees and their families with a broad access to health care services thanks to the ‘Opieka medyczna S’ medical insurance programme. In 2022, the Capital Group allocated PLN 1,996,530 as subsidy for medical packages, covering 3,666 people, which represents 76% of the employees of our domestic companies. In addition, the Management Board decided to continue the scheme for another period – starting from June 2023 (new policy), while maintaining the level of medical benefits per employee and the value of the employer’s subsidy.
