Initiatives/Best Practices

We establish friendly workplaces where the passions and interests of our employees can be pursued

Friendly workplace

Our organisation actively promotes the idea of environmentally-friendly workplaces. We have launched a number of initiatives under our Green Office project to mitigate the impact of our offices on the environment. The PGNiG Group’s best practices in this respect include economical use of paper, water and electricity, promotion of innovative solutions, waste sorting and recycling. We also run related education and awareness-raising campaigns for all our employees. The operating cost of PGNiG Group Companies is further reduced through the employment of innovative process solutions, such as electronic tools and applications. The Green Office project contributes to more reasonable resource management in our office operations, and testifies to the comprehensive involvement of the company and its staff in environmental protection.

The electronic recruitment tab on the company website (dsgaz.pl) describes working conditions for prospective employees of Dolnośląska Spółka Gazownictwa (Lower Silesian Gas Distribution Company) and its business partners, and allows us to interact with the labour market. Candidates can also find an ‘essential company info’ pack, and can apply online using an electronic application form.

Employee rights are also safeguarded by trade unions. February 2011 saw the fourth edition of the PGNiG Group Social Dialogue Conference, which is an additional tool for developing good relations between employees and employers. The event was attended by 200 representatives of key trade unions operating in the Group, members of the Employees Council, representatives of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of PGNiG SA, as well as a representative from the Polish Labour and Social Policy Ministry.
