Ethical supply chain

Polenergia manages its value chains responsibly. Among other measures, we conduct environmental and occupational health and safety (OHS) audits of the facilities we develop and operate, carefully select suppliers that adhere to responsible business principles, and require both our own organisation and our contractors to conduct business in a sustainable manner. 

Responsible conduct by all partners across the value chain reduces risks and ensures the expected quality and reliability of the company’s assets, products, and services. It also enables comprehensive management of the company’s impact on its surroundings.

Having developed projects on the Polish market for many years, Polenergia actively supports local industry, manufacturers, and contractors. The Group has an in-depth understanding of the domestic supplier market and has shared its success with local partners over the years.

Estimated share of Polish companies involved during the construction phase of offshore wind farms 

By engaging in the development of projects within Poland’s Exclusive Economic Zone in the Baltic Sea, Polenergia recognised as early as 2010 the significant potential these projects could bring to Poland. During the preparation of the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 offshore wind farm projects, Polenergia consistently focused on strengthening domestic capabilities at every stage of the process. The company engaged Polish firms to carry out the majority of analyses, expert studies, environmental surveys, and documentation required to obtain the initial location and environmental permits.

Polenergia's and Equinor's offshore wind farms are development opportunity for local companies

The level of interest of Polish companies in participating in the development of offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea exceeded our wildest expectations. Together with Equinor and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, we organized the Suppliers’ Day in Gdańsk for domestic entrepreneurs. More than 100 entrepreneurs responded to the invitation to participate in this event.

Polenergia's involvement in building local Supply Chains for Offshore Energy

A good example of establishing relationships with national suppliers is the activities carried out by the OWF Bałtyk II and OWF Bałtyk III Projects in terms of communication of upcoming procurement proceedings. The projects inform about planned key tenders on dedicated pages and invite potential Suppliers and Sub-suppliers to meetings.

Building an ethical supply chain for offshore wind farm projects

Polenergia executes projects in the Polish zone of the Baltic Sea and it is committed to the development of local resources at each stage of the work. It employed Polish contractors for analyses, expert opinions, environment studies and documentation created for the purpose of first location and environmental decisions.

Dialogue related to Bałtyk II

In cooperation with Equinor, as part of the Offshore Wind Farm projects MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III we have started preparations for supply chain development.

Support for local suppliers

When implementing projects, we take care to support the local market of manufacturers. We build component and service supply chains in such a way that our development drives the domestic economy creates jobs and prepares us for the energy transition.
