PKN ORLEN as a responsible citizen
The experience gained over a number of years has helped
us develop clear and precise principles of providing
assistance. The priorities of the “Charity Policy” have
been established. These are protection of life and health
as well as education and child care. Accordingly, the prevailing
group of beneficiaries are fire brigades, medical
institutions and beneficiaries from the education sector.

What is such a young and ambitious person
guided by when determining the goals
of her life? What inspires and stimulates
you to pursue continuous development?
I believe in the saying that if you work hard
to achieve something beautiful, the effort will
go away and the beauty will remain.
This is why my every day is beautiful and has
the colours of a rainbow.
A notable change that took place over the last few years
was the stabilisation of the group of non-government
organisation with which PKN ORLEN has established
permanent relationships supported by long-term agreements.
Currently, a group of 7 foundations cooperate
on a regular basis with the Company. It should be noted
that some of the projects have continued for more
than 10 years now. In accordance with the principles
of corporate social responsibility, an important criterion
in developing those relationships were their social
and business aspects.
Over the last three years of secondary school,
I proved that there is no such word as “impossible”
in my vocabulary. Thanks to the scholarship,
I went to Denmark for one year, where I attended
a German-Danish school. I was the first
in the history of the school and so far the only
student from Eastern Europe to be elected
by peers as the school president. I am also
a member of the School European Club.
My involvement in the Club encouraged me
in particular to participate in history and EU
contests. The scholarship enabled me to invest
in myself without worrying about the costs
associated with developing my interests
and pursuing my educational aspirations.
The truth is that being a prize-winner
in numerous Polish and international contests
is associated with substantial costs.
Being socially active is also very important
for me. I am an active member of the Association
of Young Democrats and in the “Pokolenie”
(Generation) group that assists deaf-and-dumb
children. I devote my free time to poetry
and rowing. Thus, the scholarship enabled
my personal development, but at the same
time it allowed me to use my free time
for active participation in voluntary work
for the local society.
