NowyStyl_Raport CSR_2020-2021_EN

We think of the doctors, nurses, paramedics and volunteers who helped fight against the coronavirus as great heroes. We are grateful for their efforts and we work to support them. In 2020, we purchased disinfection equipment and personal protective equipment for hospitals in Jasło, Krosno, Cracow and Łańcut. We hope that, in this way, we have made the work of the medical services safer and at least a little easier. We also took action to support health care professionals in our branch in France. Nowy Styl’s support for the fight against the coronavirus in France included several activ- ities. The first one was donating protective equipment to healthcare workers in the Noyon region, where one of our factories is located. It is estimated that an average healthcare professional needs 10 gowns a day to be able to do their job properly. Hence, the equipment donated 4.4 Facing the pandemic Together with the SPLAST group, we also funded, a decontamination device for cleaning ambulances transporting patients. With the specialised equipment, paramedics in Krosno and Jasło received at least some support in the extremely difficult epidemic situation. Funds to help the medics were also donated by the Podkarpackie Business Club which had been, established by our company. included paper protective gowns and coveralls, normally used by our painters. Our seamstresses in France, on the other hand, started making protective masks. Rachida, Laurène and Gwenaëlle made 70 masks every day. In addi- tion, our French branch started making protective visors on a 3D printer. Following successful in-house tests, we started supplying these visors to hospitals in Compiègne and Noyon, France. We feel a connection to the region we are part of. The decision to respond to the needs of the local medical services, especially in this difficult time, was therefore absolutely obvious to us.
