Fair Play Company, 2010

”Fair Play Company” certificate for Z.Ch. “Alwernia” S.A.

 Zakłady Chemiczne “Alwernia” participated in the “Fair Play Company” Entrepreneurship Culture Promotion Programme for the first time. The programme is organised by the “Institute of Research on Democracy and Private Enterprise” Foundation and affiliated at the Polish Chamber of Commerce. Its purpose is to promote the principles of ethics and entrepreneurship culture. This year’s 13th edition of the programme gathered 656 participants.
The “Fair Play Company “programme is Poland’s oldest certifying programme in the area of business ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility, and the only programme which, in the course of two levels of verification, assesses all aspects of company operations.
In the process of verification, the Company had to present details of its operations in terms of relations with customers, partners, employees and local community, or its commitment to keep deadlines, its fairness, reliability and loyalty in business, its ability to satisfy even the most demanding customers or to settle any liabilities towards its suppliers.
The company passed the 1st and the 2nd stage of verification, and, under the jury’s decision, was awarded the title and certificate of a “Fair Play Company” proving the company’s reliability and its care about good relations in all domains verified as part of the programme.
The certificate is granted to companies that meet all of the requirements provided in the regulations, namely: provide their employees with conditions favouring effective work and professional development, are sensitive to the needs of the local community, take an active part in charity events, settle their liabilities towards state treasury on time, keep their advertising campaigns fair and reliable, making sure not to discredit its competitors, act in a reliable manner in relations with customers, are able to satisfy their customers with the quality of products offered, have good relations with partners, are not in arrears with any payments towards them and their operations are friendly to the environment. Receiving the “Fair Play Company” reliability certificate is a clear message to Polish and foreign partners that the company follows the highest standards of ethics and reliability in its business operations.   The possibility to use the “Fair Play Company” logo is an effective tool to build the company’s prestige in Poland and abroad and to increase the trust of partners and customers.
Winners of the 13th edition of the “Fair Play Company” programme accepted their awards during a festive gala, traditionally held in Warsaw, in the Congress Hall of the Palace of Culture and Science. President of the Board of Directors Wiesław Hałucha accepted the certificate and the title of a “Fair Play Company” on behalf of Z. Ch. “Alwernia” S.A. during the event on 17 December 2010.
