CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
A company which cooperates with so many market entities on Polish and international market and employs almost 100 employees at the same time, must operate in accordance with long-term plans. We have achieved our previous business goals and keep giving ourselves new ones. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) helps us build the company’s strategy.
Our CSR goals include:
- Increasing the perception of our company as an entity which provides ethical customer service
- Development of an incentive scheme and training programme which builds personal competences and commitment of the employees
- Promoting ethical behaviour among our suppliers and the company’s environment
Consistent work on achieving the abovementioned goals is reflected in the business achievements. Professionalism, care for the highest quality of products, honest and ethical development of relations with clients and suppliers, as well as kind relations within our team, result in the growth of trust of our business partners thus allowing further development of the company.
CROSSING BORDERS
Thanks to the high quality of our products and professional customer service, we have achieved a stable position on Polish market. However, due to the will to constantly develop, we could not limit ourselves to our country only. In 2011, we started the sales of our products in the countries south of Poland – Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania. We have been systematically developing our activities on the international market.
By planning the expansion of export activities to other European markets, we consider the specifics of a given market, adjusting our product offer to it. We believe that commitment and care about the client’s satisfaction are the keys to success.
