Relations are one of the most important assets of each organisation. At the Grupa Kęty S.A. Capital Group we apply utmost effort to establish dialogue within the company and outside of it. Our business relations are based on the values set forth in the Code of Ethics. The several-thousand group of defined stakeholders obliges us to apply due diligence within relational capital.
We believe that the long-term success of Grupa Kęty S.A. depends on its cooperation with a broadly-defined group of stakeholders.
A quote from the CSR Policy
The Grupa Kęty S.A. Capital Group maintains high standards of communication. For years now, the Company has been perceived by market participants as a recognised brand and a credible partner. The Company social activities are reported on external portals such as http://grupakety.com/pl/26,czym-dla-nas-jest-csr.html; www.dziecipodbeskidzia.pl; and on the Facebook page of the ‘Grupa Kęty for the Children of the Podbeskidzie Region’ Foundation. Ongoing communication with the employees is maintained through meetings, the Intranet, newsletters and notice boards.
Already in the business model of the organisation one can see that the entire process is a dialogue initially conducted and consulted with external circles and later – in production and logistics processes – within the organisation, so that it can be consulted again outside at the stage of the final product.
The dialogue is simply the day-to-day life of the organisation – everyday work, business and team-building meetings, telephone calls. We inform a broad group of stakeholders about our business plans, our organisation development plans and our impact on local communities and the environment.
Together with other Group companies and the local community, the Company supports in local initiatives and participates in them, creating the future of the region. The Entrepreneurship Council of Kęty, established in the District of Kęty and headed by the Vice CEO of Grupa Kęty S.A., is an example of such activities.
Each year, the reporting process is consulted on an ongoing basis with the selected groups of stakeholders (including employees and representatives of local communities).
In 2018 the organisation continued its dialogue and cooperation with a defined group of stakeholders. As compared to the previous year, there was no change in the leading stakeholders defined by the Grupa Kęty S.A. Capital Group, who include the employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders and supervisory authorities, i.e. the groups that exert the greatest impact on the business value of our organisation.
