Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

The residents of Podkarpacie are the biggest local com- munity, of which we have been members for 28 years. We use the natural resources of that region and we are one of its biggest employers, with more than 3,000 employ- ees from Krosno, Jasło, Rzepedź and surrounding villages. Locally paid taxes mean we have an ever growing share in building the economy of the Podkarpackie province. We also influence it indirectly through our suppliers: around 50% of them are local entrepreneurs who develop their potential through cooperation with Nowy Styl (   Click to find out more ). Because we are rooted in the life of Podkarpacie, we understand the needs and problems of the region. We be- lieve that we have a real impact on shaping the potential of the local community. We provide support through long-term strategic pro- jects as well as big and small initiatives carried out by our social partners.
