Corporate Social Responsibility
Social commitment

As one of the Grupa Kęty companies, at ALUPROF we put the concepts of Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainable development into practice by studying the world around us. We establish multifaceted relationships with a wide stakeholder group encompassing our shareholders, personnel, clients, business partners and the local community, and we keep their needs and requirements at the forefront of our minds. Forging extensive relationships like this is a guarantee of our company’s harmonious development and the way forward when it comes to building a positive image.

To Grupa Kęty in its entirety, being responsible stands for more than simply meeting every formal and legal requirement. It also means increased investment in human resources, environmental protection, and relationships with the surrounding world. In other words, it equates with voluntary engagement. In 2014, the group began the process of formalizing its previous activities in order to align them with global standards and procedural norms. Part of that process was the implementation of the PN-ISO 26000:2012 standard, which is intended to increase both the efficacy of Grupa Kęty’s decision-making tools and their integration with the systems and structures in place within the Group. In September 2014, the group began the process of joining the United Nations Global Compact initiative, meaning that it supports and applies the Ten Principles, which cover the spheres of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.

CSR

The company’s mission, vision and values convey Grupa Kęty’s approach to the sphere of corporate social responsibility. Here, CSR practices are a standard and not an obligation.

We are now working towards ISO 45001 certification for our OHS system to fulfil the legal requirements for occupational health and safety and our wish to attain a higher level of staff awareness.

    • ‘2020 Bike Helps Campaign’- The Kęty Capital Group becomes the Main Partner.


      ‘Bike Helps’ 2020

      The Bike Helps campaign, which is run every year by the Arka Foundation, has been a fixture in our calendar for several seasons now. The campaign aims to encourage people to take to their bikes. People cycle and then add the miles they cover to the collective count. The miles are then converted into bicycles for children under residential care. The first edition took place in 2015 and, since then, more than forty three million miles have been covered and two hundred and twenty-one bikes have been delivered to children in need.


      Forty-nine of those bikes were sponsored by the Kęty Capital Group, being one one of the Campaign Partners. It is even more pleasant for us to announce that, in 2020, we became the Main Partner of the Event. As Dariusz Mańko, the President of the Kępy Capital Group’s Management Board and its CEO, explains: I’m delighted that our company can support initiatives like this. On the one hand, the bikes make their way to children and young people in residential homes and, on the other hand, we take to our bikes, meaning we ae being active and more environment-friendly. I’m really keen for more and more of our staff to switch to work commuting, for instance. We’ve set up a special shelter and parking for bikes. And if that turns out to be insufficient, we’ll extend it. This year, we’re inviting all the Kęty Group’s staff to join us and take to their bikes for the campaign! We’ll pick up the best candidates!


      The ceremonial signing of the agreement with the Arka Ecological Foundation took place at the Management Board offices of the Kęty Capital Group.

      We are delighted to announce that the Kęty Group S.A. and ALUPROF S.A. became partners in the ‘Green Hands’ campaign run by the Arka Environmental Foundation.


      Through the campaign, the organizers address some very real environmental issues, which have become a part of our daily lives... in other words, appalling air pollution, smog and out-of-control landfill sites, not to mention heat waves, droughts and whirlwinds caused by climate change. Workshops, happenings and events are held for children and young people under the ‘Green Hands’ banner. The participants come from schools and kindergartens from all over Poland.


      As Monika Sobczyk, the CSR Director for the Kęty Capital Group S.A., emphasizes:


      Care for the natural environment is one of the pillars of our Corporate Social Responsibility policy. In addition to constantly improving our production and technological processes with a view to keeping our environmental impact to the minimum, we also focus intensely on educational activities and campaigns. The ‘Green Hands’ campaign is an active ecological education programme and I’m delighted that we can partner it.

      The ‘Bike Helps’ is an initiative run by the Arka Ecological Foundation. It combines sport, ecology and charitable activity. How? Participants pursue a sport activity by riding on their bikes and, in doing that, they reduce CO2 emissions. They add the miles they cover to the collective ‘Bike Helps’ campaign total. The miles accumulated by the campaign participants are converted into bikes for the needy children and young people. The Kęty Group has supported the campaign as a Partner for several years now and children under the auspices of the Group’s foundation have been beneficiaries, with fifteen bicycles delivered in 2018 alone. The 2019 campaign took an international dimension. The miles being collected on the www.bikehelps.pl website will be converted into bikes for the Ukrainian war orphans.
