On August 12th, Grupa Azoty’s registered office in Tarnów hosted the departure of stage 4 of the Tour de Pologne, from Tarnów to Bukovina Resort. This is the first stage of this year’s race in which the riders have to negotiate a distance shorter than 200 kilometres. Among those who attended the event were Czesław Lang, the organiser of this most prestigious cycling race in Poland, and Tomasz Hinc, President of the Management Board of Grupa Azoty S.A.

Since the very onset of the pandemic, the Grupa Azoty Group has been actively involved in supporting various institutions combating COVID-19. Already in mid-March 2020, the management and supervisory boards of each of the Group’s key companies decided to donate PLN 750 thousand (per company) for that purpose.

The assembly of the roof on the first propane tank has been completed. A lift weighing 290 tons, was lifted by forcing air under the dome with a slight overpressure of +0.02 bar. For safety reasons, the maximum speed of lifting the roof was 30 cm per minute.

The National Vaccination Programme Lottery was launched under the auspices of the Chancellery of the Polish Prime Minister on July 1st. Everyone who gets fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with any vaccine available in Poland is eligible to receive a ticket. Prizes include cars and cash.

Grupa Azoty Academy webinars, ‘Chemistry: behind the scenes’ educational series and co-hosting of the national qualifiers for the WorldSkills Poland competition were the highlights of this year’s edition of the Grupa Azoty Brand Ambassador programme. During over six months of joint efforts, our brand ambassadors contributed to building a positive image of Grupa Azoty among the academic communities.

Grupa Azoty S.A. has declared it would provide support to residents affected by the Nowa Biała fire by organising and funding a summer camp for their children. The summer camp will run from late July to early August, with 25 children invited to participate. Detailed arrangements are being made with the Kraków Provincial Office and the Kraków Education Authority.
