RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS AND ENVIRONMENT
Business and responsibility are closely intertwined. Responsible business is a strategic approach, long-term, based on the principles of social dialogue and the search for solutions beneficial to the company, as well as all stakeholders and local communities.
This allows businesses to tackle global challenges and pursue sustainable development goals in the most efficient way.
Being responsible does not merely satisfy all the formal and legal requirements of the company, but above all, it is synonymous with voluntary and active engagement. To run business that meets the requirements of today’s market, it is not enough to generate economic profits only.
It is also necessary to increase investment in human resources, environmental protection and relations with the environment. The voice of the business, which supports the idea of sustainable development in the developed economies, is pleasing and allows to assume that the focus on such activities will soon become popular in Poland as well.
CSR does not define the final goal, but it is a continuous process that requires attention and efforts to make constant progress.
