Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

GRI 102-1 Almost 30 years have passed since brothers Adam and Jerzy Krzanowski assembled the first several café chairs with their own hands, and loaded them into the back of a passenger car. Then, they travelled across Poland, showing those first chairs to potential customers, hoping for their interest and first contracts. Over the course of three decades, almost everything has changed at Nowy Styl. Almost, because we persistently insist on keeping certain things the way they were at the beginning. In 1992, the brothers worked in a makeshift assembly plant manned by seven people, including themselves. It was based near Krosno, a small town in south-eastern Poland. Today, more than 7,000 people work in our factories and offices in 16 countries, including our joint-ventures. Our employees come from about 50 countries in 5 con- tinents. This gives us the ability to respond to any needs, and adapt to any local conditions. Through our companies, branches and sales depart- ments, products and solutions offered by Nowy Styl are distributed all over the world – to a total of about 100 countries . Our achievements over the last quarter of a cen- tury are best summed up by our industry leader position in the comprehensive arrangement of offices and public spaces: stadiums, halls, cinemas, theatres, passenger ter- minals and hotels. 1 About Nowy Styl GRI 102-7 GRI 102-2 1.1 How and where we operate 11
