Every year, our company takes part in the Krakow Busi- ness Run charity event. It involves a relay race where every competitor has to run a 3.8 km stretch of the entire route through Krakow’s city centre. The Poland Business Run Foundation uses funds raised from the run to help amputees and patients with motor disfunctions. Nowy Styl employees from the Krakow office volunteered to join the event by organising a ‘”Quiet auction” fundraiser, where people could bid, without knowing what to expect, on the offers of their office colleagues. These included a hand- made shopper bag, a trip to a mine adit, rock climbing, a trip to the mountains and a professional photo shoot. All proceeds from the auction were donated to the bene- ficiaries of the run event. We managed to raise PLN 4,620 in 2022, giving us the 6th place on the list of companies supporting the event. In 2023, we raised PLN 2,930. Many Nowy Styl employees also took part in the Krakow Marzanna Half Marathon organised for the benefit of patients in the care of Prof. Janusz Skalski’s Schola-Cordis Foundation for the Support of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery. The races are held in Krakow’s most beautiful locations, around the Blonia green and the Vistula Embankments. Charity runs: Poland Business Run and Krakow Marzanna Half Marathon We are present in the world of sports both in terms of our business activities and because of a passion for sports and a spirit of physical exercise that we want to spread as an organisation. We combine our business goals with our willingness to support regional initiatives by sponsoring sports institutions and projects. 4.3 Sports Poland Business Run district in Krakow which is designed to become the city’s creative district, a place for the design community to meet and collaborate. The Design Pharmacy project was created in coopera- tion with the Krakow Festival Office. As a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience between Nowy Styl and the Pharmacy’s regulars and artists, as well as the whole of Wesola district, the place is intended to inspire young architects and designers and set an example for other institutions, enterprises and cities. Our goal is to support local initiatives, events and young generations that will contribute to shaping the artistic world and determine its artistic and creative power in the future. Therefore, we are not limiting our support to providing Nowy Styl and Kusch+Co furniture for the Pharmacy project, because we want to take an active part in the development of their workshop programme and their events. 91
