The conference, which was attended by dozens of companies from all over Silesia was to promote the principles of corporate social responsibility and a practical approach to provide examples of companies in implementing CSR (Corporate Social Resposibility).  Jastrzebska Spółka Węglowa was represented by Jarosław Zagórowski, its CEO  and  by the team responsible for the Company's corporate social responsibility.

- CSR in business is very important, because thanks to  it, you can have a positive impact on the environment inside and outside the company. It is because of introduced elements of corporate social responsibility, that  employees can be proud that they work for our company. We have always put our employees first, because we realize that without them our business would not exist.  We are perceived outside as a professional company, which engages in the most important activities for the local community - said during the conference Jarosław Zagórowski, CEO of JSW S.A.

CSR strategy supports the company in the implementation of economic, social and environmental goals. Companies incorporating social responsibility into the mainstream of management, achieve good financial results, allowing for the satisfactory development and maintenance of jobs. They use  natural resources in a way that does not cause the degradation and deterioration and does not threaten the living conditions of future generations.
