Actions for Sports and Health Undertaken in 2024

Particular emphasis is placed on supporting children and youth, the elderly, people with disabilities, and children from dysfunctional families.

Among these, notable clubs include the acrobatics club “Akro-Pasja” from Słupsk, the cycling club “Azalia” from Brzóza Królewska, and the student sports club “Spartakus” from Buk, which specializes in handball. Athletes from these clubs regularly achieve success in sports competitions, inspiring their peers to engage in sports.

The health and well-being of Polenergia Group’s employees are of great importance, and the company undertakes initiatives to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among its workforce at all organizational levels.

“POWER UP!” is a sports challenge for companies, managed through a mobile app provided by Activy Ltd. Initiated in 2023 and continued in 2024, the challenge aims to motivate Polenergia employees to engage in physical activity, track their steps, and develop healthy habits, such as cycling or walking to work.

Participants collectively accumulated points that were converted by Polenergia Group into a charitable donation of PLN 30,000.

In 2024, the funds were donated to the association “CukierAsy,” which supports the athletic development of children with type 1 diabetes. Besides the charitable aspect, the challenge boosted employee engagement and fostered teamwork.

The challenge lasted three months, from April to June, and was designed to offer various forms of physical activity suited to individual preferences. Nearly 200 employees participated, earning points by practicing different sports.

Key benefits of the challenge included developing a habit of regular physical activity, fostering participant integration, reducing CO₂ emissions through sustainable commuting, and mobilizing the company community to achieve a meaningful charitable goal. Due to the high interest in the initiative, the company plans to continue it. More information: Final of the 2nd Edition of the Sports Challenge POWER UP! – ESG Service

On April 17, 2024, Polenergia Group employees were once again able to use a mobile bike service in the offices in Warsaw and Nowa Sarzyna. The event aimed to encourage employees to choose bicycles as an eco-friendly mode of commuting.

Professional bike service staff performed comprehensive inspections, including adjustments to gears and brakes, checking bolts, lubricating chains, and inspecting tire pressure. Over 100 bicycles were serviced during the event, which enjoyed considerable interest among employees.

In collaboration with the Association for Development and Support “Q Zmianom,” Polenergia organized a series of webinars:

• The first webinar explored the concept of self-regulation in children.
• The second focused on self-regulation and emotional intelligence in teenagers.
• The third webinar concentrated on developing self-compassion among adults, introducing psychological techniques to strengthen kindness toward oneself, manage stress, and build better emotional balance.

These sessions provided practical tools applicable in both personal and professional life to support oneself and loved ones.

In cooperation with the “Rak’n’Roll” Foundation and “Mosznowładcy,” Polenergia Photovoltaics has participated in a national campaign since 2023 to promote regular health screenings. Polenergia employees are offered an additional day off, called “U Day,” to conduct health check-ups, particularly recommended screenings such as breast ultrasounds, testicular ultrasounds, and cytology.

In August 2024, Polenergia Photovoltaics organized another blood donation drive at its office in partnership with the Regional Blood Donation and Hemotherapy Center in Warsaw. Employees donated nearly 10 liters of blood.

Safety is a priority at Polenergia Group for both employees and contractors involved in its projects. In 2024, mandatory safety training sessions were conducted at the Nowa Sarzyna CHP Plant for three groups of employees. These covered the use of portable fire extinguishers and air isolation apparatus. In July, evacuation drills, including fire drills, were organized at the plant in collaboration with local fire brigades.

The Group also ensured periodic training sessions and certification for energy qualifications across all its companies.

Beyond mandatory training, Polenergia offers additional first aid courses for interested employees, both office-based and field workers. Key webinars conducted in 2024 included:

• February: “First Aid During Winter Road Accidents,” covering the consequences of road incidents and safety tips for winter activities.
• March: “All the Fears in First Aid,” addressing common fears and myths that hinder effective life-saving actions.
• June: “First Aid for Summer,” with guidance on surviving mountain storms, drowning incidents, and wildlife encounters, as well as dealing with heat strokes, burns, and rip currents.
• December: “How to Survive Christmas and New Year,” focusing on accidents at home, including burns, frostbites, and basic psychological first aid.

In addition, five in-person first aid training sessions were held in 2024, including one outdoor session, with 108 employees participating.

Polenergia Group believes that participating in sports activities and health-focused webinars delivers real benefits and initiates positive change. The company is committed to the health and well-being of local communities and its employees, creating a harmonious environment where everyone can find inspiration for a healthier and more balanced life.
