Managing diversity

Diversity management involves creation and promotion of equal opportunities, appreciation of values hidden in cultural differences between people, and utilization of the potential of diversity for the effective pursuit of the organization’s goals. This is why the Polenergia Group has included and prioritized diversity and inclusion activities in its CSR strategy.

The survey was based on international standards and guidelines, including:

The survey concerned five topical areas, including: management approach, programs and measures, building engagement, performance indicators and additional COVID-19-related issues.

Equal Opportunities in Business program

The Polenergia Group is involved in the program pursued by Global Compact Network Poland “Equal Opportunities in Business”, which promotes leadership of women in business. An important element of the project is tackling barriers to gender equality and setting of corporate goals in this respect. In the first edition of the program in 2020, Polenergia took part in a study employing the WEPs Gender Gap Analysis Tool. In 2021, Polenergia took part in training and workshops organized within the framework of the program for its first edition participants. The training was delivered by UNGC and by D&I specialists and addressed the implementation of a diversity strategy in companies.
