How we pursue the sustainable development goals

Capitals:

With future generations in mind, PKN ORLEN engages in a wide range of CSR projects under internal documents adopted by the Company, including ‘CSR Strategy until 2022’ and ‘Core Values and Standards of Conduct of PKN ORLEN S.A.’, and under international sustainable development initiatives we have signed.

Our projects are consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals  announced by the United Nations and adopted by almost 200 countries, including Poland. Presented below are projects initiated or implemented by the Company in 2019, 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.

*Source: ‘SDGs in practice. A guidebook for business’ Part 1 and Part 2 published by CSR Consulting. The SDGs of strategic importance to the fuel and energy industry were selected during workshops and research analyses exploring their impact and feasibility.
