Commitments for 2020–2021: GRI 103-2 GRI 413-1 Nowy Styl is an international company. However, we always remember about our roots, which is why our commitment is focused on local communities, mainly from the Podkarpackie region. We want to be an active member of the local communities where we have offices and factories, which are strongly impacted by our operations on a daily basis. Our social commitment is guided by the following prin- ciples: > localness – we focus our social commitment on initia- tives at a regional and local level, in places connected with our operations; > continuation – we know how important stability and predictability of our commitment are for the local communities, so we strive to maintain once estab- lished relationships. We have chosen the priorities of our commitment by trying to address the most important needs of local communities. We also looked at the capacity and potential effectiveness of Nowy Styl’s impact in specific areas. We make decisions to support new projects based on the guidelines of our Donations, Social Commitment and Sponsorship Policy. 109
