The editorial board of the Wprost weekly magazine recognised Grupa Azoty S.A. awarding it with the title of Employer of the Region in the region of Lesser Poland (Province of Kraków). In their explanation for the award, the editors noted that the Company took a number of measures to safeguard its employees in the face of exceptionally challenging market conditions – such as production cuts prompted by drastic increases in the prices of feedstock, mainly natural gas. The award was collected on behalf of the Company by Zbigniew Paprocki, Director General, Member of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.
The award committee emphasised that, regardless of existing challenges, the Company takes care of its staff and rewards their commitment to building the Group’s strong position in the domestic as well as international market of chemicals and fertilizers. They also stressed that while the temporary production cuts were implemented in 2022 all Grupa Azoty’s employees retained the right to full pay with benefits.
“The award we have received in the Employer of the Region category confirms that our chosen direction of building a team of employees for whom chemistry is not just a job, but above all a passion, has placed us on the road to success. The Tarnów-based company of the Grupa Azoty Group is a team of more than 2,000 committed professionals, who on a daily basis build the Group’s strong position at home and in the European market. We invest to keep raising the competencies of our staff and support them in their professional growth ambitions. We keep in mind that the Group’s strength depends mainly on its people, for whom security of employment, stable jobs and good prospects for professional advancement are all important,” says Tomasz Hinc, President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.
