Sports initiatives
The collaboration between PGNiG SA and the Polish Handball Association began in 2009, when the Company became the Strategic Sponsor of the national women’s, men’s and junior handball teams, as well as the Title Sponsor of the men’s and women’s premiere handball leagues. In addition, individual Gas Sales Units began to promote handball and encourage active involvement in the sport, as well as the exchange of experience between teams.
Together with the ‘Szczypiorno Kalisz’ Handball Association, the Kalisz Gas Sales Unit launched the PGNiG GAZ CUP – an event aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles through sporting and physical activity, development of handball and its popularisation among the children, youth and adults of Kalisz. The ‘PGNiG for Children Handball Festival’ (Festiwal Piłki Ręcznej PGNiG Dzieciom) was organised in Kielce and Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski by the Polish Handball Association, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism and the Kielce Gas Sales Unit. In recognition of its efforts in the field of sports, the Kalisz Gas Sales Unit received the 2011 Patron of Sports statuette from the Mayor of Kalisz.
