Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

GRI 102-16 In the course of our dynamic development, we have not forgotten the fundamental values on which the Krzanowski brothers started building their busi- ness. Business history knows many examples of progress, which has been paid for with the loss of values. At Nowy Styl, values have always come first, and no decision has GRI 103-2 GRI 103-3 Values are inherently linked to our organ- isational culture, which in turn determines the Code of Ethics , published in 2017 (its update is planned for 2020). It defines ethical standards in place at Nowy Styl in the following areas: intra-company relations, company property, personal data protection, customer and supplier relations, material benefits, conflict of interest, competi- tion, health and safety at work, natural environment, and local community. It is one of the first documents anyone starting work in our organisation will become familiar with. 1.2 Our development is founded on values GRI 102-17 A special role in enforcing the Code is played by Ethics Officers , three of whom have been appoint- ed in Poland (in the Podkarpacie region and Cracow), as well as their counterparts in each of our international com- panies. Any questions and concerns, as well as any viola- tions of the Code of Ethics can be reported to them. In Poland, we have also set up an Ethics Council , which brings together the Ethics Officers and representatives of the var- ious departments. The Council meets at least once a year to address broad ethical, environmental and social issues in an interdisciplinary circle. Tasks of the Council include: > make sure ethical standards in the company are observed, > exchange best practices between the companies, > carry out internal social audits, > report training needs/initiate communication on ethical topics, > prevent situations reported to the Officers from recurring. ever been made to contradict them. Therefore, even though our payroll has grown a thousandfold, we want the atmos- phere at the company to be the same as before, when there were only seven of us: breathing healthy ambition, hones- ty, mutual trust, care for one another’s safety, respect and simply – friendliness.
