Corporate responsibility report
5.3./ PRO–SOCIAL WORK
/ Safety
For several years PKN ORLEN has largely participated
in activities aimed at improving the level of safety
in the broad meaning of the word. We pay particular
attention to professional and voluntary fire brigades
across Poland, which play an extremely important role
in this area. Particularly important is the great number
and diversity of tasks performed by them. It is worth
reminding that a fireman is a job which has invariably
enjoyed a very high level of social trust for many years.
children” was to direct attention to the fact that parents
are the first and the most important teachers for their child.
The earlier adults instil in children’s minds good patterns
of behaviour in road traffic, the greater the chances that
children will follow these proper patterns in future.
PKN ORLEN cares not only about its own safety. On many
occasions the Company has proved that it cares about
external safety through various activities, including active
participation in the Hazardous Materials Transport Assistance
System, the National Rescue and Extinguishing System,
or financing and co-financing the purchase of equipment
and making donations in the form of fire-fighting equipment.

/ “ORLEN. Safe roads” programme
This programme is one of important elements of PKN ORLEN’s
activities promoting safety, including road traffic safety.
It was initiated in 2006–2007 by the action which
in an innovative way presented threats resulting from
failure to abide by safe driving principles. In 2008–2009
we concentrated on the role of parents in educating children
on issues relating to road traffic safety. The main
objective of last year’s campaign „Parents set example for
The objective of the foundation, operating at the premises
of the world oldest (established in 1854) crude oil mine,
is to support the Museum which is a worldwide unique

of the Museum, its great tradition, very original collections
and rich educational offer encourage pupils, students, and
tourists to visit looking for original places where history
meets modernity.
