Emitel became the vice-leader of the industry “Telecommunications, technology, media and entertainment in the XVII edition of the Responsible Companies Ranking 2023”. In the general classification, the company was ranked 12th. The results of this year’s Ranking of Responsible Companies and Positive Impact Startups were announced during the gala, which took place on June 22 at the headquarters of the Kozminski Academy. The event was organized by the Kozminski Business Hub, operating within the Kozminski Academy.

The basis for compiling the Ranking of Responsible Companies is a survey, which companies fill in according to the principles of due diligence and professional ethics. The ranking is accompanied by industry summaries, performance analyzes, expert comments, methodological descriptions, CSR-related articles, case studies, including information on companies that are top ranked or otherwise stand out for their business responsibility achievements.

– Corporate social responsibility is an integral part of the Emitel strategy. For years, we have focused on responsible management and delivery of our services with positive environmental and social impact. Appreciation of our activities in the field of ESG in the Ranking of Responsible Companies is a reason for pride and motivation for further action for all employees of Emitel – said Andrzej J. Kozłowski, President of the Management Board of Emitel S.A.

This year the survey level was again very high and the questions were more demanding than in last year’s edition of the Responsible Companies Ranking. The survey contained 60 questions this year, including 10 on specific quantitative indicators. However, it is worth adding that although the questions set the bar even higher than a year ago, very many companies operating in Poland managed to score more than half of the points, and it was possible to reach the top ten only when more than 75% of the possible points were collected.– the organizers of the XVII Report of Responsible Companies summarized the publication.

The Responsible Companies Ranking, published for the first time in 2007, is the only ranking of the largest companies in Poland, assessed for the quality of responsible management in accordance with the ESG guidelines. The Responsible Business Forum is the ROF 2023 Partner, and Deloitte is the substantive partner responsible for reviewing the answers.

The list was prepared by: Prof. Bolesław Rok from the Center for Research of Entrepreneurship and Positive Influence of Kozminski Academy and Jarosław Horodecki, editor and publisher.

In total, over 250 of the largest companies operating on the Polish market have already participated in the Ranking of Responsible Companies. The ranking enables comparisons of results in different areas of management between companies, and is a valuable instrument to help organize and develop the strategy of corporate responsibility.

The Ranking of Responsible Companies was accompanied – as in previous years – by the “Positive Impact Startups” project, which identified 25 socially innovative startups working to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

For the 12th time, the “Polityka” weekly, Deloitte consulting company, and the Responsible Business Forum have singled out the Polish leaders of sustainable development and ESG as part of the compilation of the POLITYKA CSR Leaves – one of the oldest such initiatives on the market. For the second year in a row, the organizers awarded Emitel with Silver CSR Leaf, appreciating the company’s activities in the areas of sustainable development, environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. The company was also among the leaders awarded for good practices – the company’s Smart City projects won recognition.

– The issue of sustainability is important to us. The main objectives of our activities in the areas of environment, social responsibility, and corporate governance are defined in our ESG Strategy for 2021-2025. Key priorities include looking after the landscape, biodiversity, and habitat conservation, improving energy efficiency, minimizing environmental impacts, sustainable waste management, and human relations. The Silver CSR Leaf of POLITYKA awarded to Emitel for the second year in a row is the best proof that our sustainability activities are recognized and positively evaluated by experts – said Andrzej J. Kozłowski,  President of the Management Board, Emitel S.A.

The Silver CSR Leaves of POLITYKA have been awarded to companies that in their day-to-day activities declare to take into account most key sustainable development solutions, implement the highest quality solutions and disclose information related to their ESG activities. The evaluations in the competition were awarded based on an analysis based on a survey completed by the companies, prepared according to the guidelines of the ISO 26000 standard on the basic principles of social responsibility and concerning the European Sustainability Reporting Standards and the latest trends of ESG. The Golden CSR Leaf POLITYKA has been awarded to 23 companies, Silver CSR Leaf to 35 and White CSR Leaf to 46 companies. The Green CSR Leaf has been awarded to 19 companies for which reducing negative impacts on the climate, preventing climate change, and adapting to these conditions are key elements of strategic activities in business and relations with stakeholders.

CSR Leaves of POLITYKA are also accompanied by a review of initiatives supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. This year, as in previous years, companies have been asked to share good practices on Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production and Goal 13 on environmental and climate protection. Among the recognized good practices are also Emitel’s Smart City projects, which help local governments and city companies to create modern cities that are not only friendly to residents, but also environmentally friendly. In the Smart City area, Emitel provides customers with comprehensive solutions based on LoRaWAN technology, which provides long-range, low-power wireless communication. The company has already implemented advanced solutions in several cities, including Wrocław and Piaseczno.

Emitel has won the prestigious 2023 Top Employer Poland title awarded by the Top Employers Institute to the best employers in Poland. This is the fourth consecutive victory for Emitel, which confirms the company’s ongoing focus on maintaining the highest standards in the areas of human resources and pursuing a responsible employee policy.

Winning the Top Employer certificate for another consecutive time confirms that we are among the best employers in Poland. This is extremely important for us, because our employees – outstanding, passionate and involved experts in their respective fields – are the cornerstone of our growth,” said Andrzej J. Kozłowski, President of the Management Board of Emitel.

Obtaining the Top Employer certification is preceded by a lengthy validation process and the need to meet numerous conditions. During this process, the answers to the questionnaire covering key areas related to human capital management are verified based on evidence of appropriate procedures, processes and practices.  The certification process ends with an independent audit, conducted by external auditors.

Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organisations. We saw it with our own eyes in this year’s Top Employers Certification Programme, reflected in the outstanding results of the certified 2023 Top Employers, who have always shown that they care about the development and well-being of their employees. By doing so, they make the working world a better place. We are proud to announce the names and celebrate this year’s leading people-oriented employers –  the 2023 Top Employers”, said David Plink, CEO of the Top Employers Institute.

I am pleased with the award for Emitel for the implemented solution prepared for MPWiK.

This is a new B2B, i.e. business to business editorial distinction category. It is intended for companies that, whilst not always providing services to individual customers, impact the quality of their lives.
