perceive it as a commitment towards all our stakeholders.
We are aware that without a wonderful team of workers

– In-House Fire Brigade
As far as safety is concerned, it is of crucial importance
to prevent fire outbreaks, explosions and release of hazardous chemical substances. The PKN ORLEN In-House
Fire Brigade specialises in fire-fighting and rescue operations in industry, especially in regard to chemical, high
altitude, water and medical rescue.

District, e.g. near Dobrzyków, Jordanów and Wymyśl.

Even though emissions from the CHP units exceeded
the amount of allocated allowances, the missing allowances may be transferred from the units that have excess
allowances. Consequently, PKN ORLEN will avoid buying
the missing allowances on the market.
In 2010, the Company obtained decisions modifying
the permissions to participate in the CO2 emission allowance trading scheme for the CHP and Refinery units – valid
until 14 December 2019. The modification concerned
the CO2 emission monitoring method.

• 5 “REBA – small cylinder” containers for used batteries;
• 277 small rectangular cuboid containers for used

The volume of segregated municipal waste has grown,

many useful things, such as detergents, houseware,
food, clothes, toys for children, pots and pans, and even
stoves and gas cylinders. More than 50 families benefited
from the collection.
In June, PKN ORLEN and Płock City Hall, the organisers
of the Chemist’s Day and Płock History Days, organised
a fundraising event for flood victims. During the threeday celebrations, funds were collected in the streets
of Płock by local scout groups. PKN ORLEN employees
actively participated in fundraising and donated their
contributions during company integration meetings.
All the funds raised were allocated to renovate a school
building in Borki which had been damaged by the flood.
In May, another edition of the “Let’s paint a smile” event
was organised. Employees of PKN ORLEN’s Retail Trade
West Region gave joy and happiness to children from
the children’s home in Lisków near Kalisz. Our volunteers
equipped the children’s home with three state-of-the-art
computers and internet connection, a barbecue corner
in the garden and stands at a professional beach volleyball stadium. During the renovation, the children, their
caretakers and volunteers went on a trip to Poznań,
where the kids had a lot of fun.
